NEW PLUG-IN
AutoFocus 1 for Adobe PhotoShop / Elements or Jasc PaintShop, an advanced DeNoise, DeBlur and High quality Sharpener Plug-In

SARATOGA, CA,
Adding to its line of filter plug-ins, Human Software is announcing AutoFocus version 1 for Mac OS 9 or X or Windows® NT/Me/2000/XP


 Basic Principles
AutoFocus combines three very important tools in the digital Imaging field to get the most out of all photos :

  • 1 An innovative DeBlur tool, to focus images slightly blurred.
  • 2 A powerful DeNoise tool, to remove grain out of your digital images or decrease noise you may have created after a sharpening process.
  • 3 An advanced Sharpener, that is not creating grain all over the sharpened image as current USM does

These features work in RGB or CMYK...directly on a layer of Photoshop/Elements/PaintShop/PhotoPaint/Painter/ULead...

Make Photos Stand-Out with Multiple controls in one Easy Dialog
AutoFocus groups all these tools in one easy dialog : DeBlur, DeNoise or DeGrain, HighSharpening, Fix JPEG Artefacts..

ReFocus Images, thanks to AutoFocus DeConvolution that invert the blurring process
How often are you getting a picture slightly blurred because the subject has moved! After any image manipulation you are doing, the image is getting a little more blurred. 
Not anymore HumanSoftware AutoFocus uses powerful mathematical algorithms to refocus the image. AutoFocus reverses the formula by which the image got blurred... this technology gives you AS MUCH of the original "in focus" image as possible. AutoFocus uses a very powerful deconvolution tool that will reclaim the data that has been spread out.

Powerful filter to Reduce Image Noise and Grain
High speed film grain, bad lighting conditions, scanner/digital camera CCD noise, image enlargement, sharpening, all those factors may produce NOISE. AutoFocus plug-in is one of the most powerful DeNoising tool of the industry, because it makes an excellent work at preserving edges on the image,. Unlike other, it also works in both RGB or CMYK mode.
DeNoising may be used at the same time than AutoFocus DeBlur or HSharp to reduce to the minimum any adverse grain that may appear.

Powerful HSharpen tool that sharpen images without creating grain
Ultra efficient Sharpening that gives better results than Photoshop USM tool. AutoFocus ‘HSharp’lets you sharpen RGB or CMYK photos without increasing noise, damaging edges. Aset of sliders gives you lot of controls such as the amount of sharpening, strength of the effect or tolerance around the edge... An instant Before and After PreView lets you see the result at any scale. There are no confusing Novice or Expert mode, all controls have been designed for maximum efficiency and to be straight to the point.

Fix JPEG Artefacts
A setting lets you adjust the level of artefacts you want to remove from highly compressed JPEG Images.


Who should use AutoFocus?
AutoFocus will satisfy everyone from the professional photographer that will improve quality and save time for each photo correction, to the casual user.
It is invaluable to publishing and advertising companies who need the photographs in their magazines or newspapers to be sharp.  Forensic scientists, museum, archival companies to help them get the most detail out of photographs.  Or simply home users to re-focus photographs they thought blurred for good.
