About Photo Equalizer:
When we compare digital photographs to what the eye sees, we find a fundamental difference, the digital photograph is usually sharper but tends to be less vivid, parts of the photo that were well lit are clear and sharp while others remain in the shadow. 11211s1818l
Trying to compensate for this by increasing exposure or aperture tends to overexpose the lit parts and we cannot see the whole image with the same sharpness and illumination.
The human eye does not suffer from this problem, we usually see the whole view clearly and vividly, and the brighter parts do not shadow the ones that are less lit.
The reason for this difference is the greater dynamic range the eye has compared to the digital camera.
A good example of this can be seen in drawings, because they were made directly by what the eye sees, the whole drawing seems vivid and no part of it is overexposed or underexposed.
Standard image editors do not solve this problem because they change the brightness or contrast for the whole image at once.
Photo Equalizer changes the colors of the image based upon the exact area of the image they are in, bringing your pictures back to life again.
Using Photo Equalizer:
Using the program is easy and intuitive, all pictures can be changed with a single click of the mouse, preset image setups allow you to change any image quickly, but you can also define your own setups after getting used to the program.
At the lower part of the screen you can find the image browsing commands:
Open Image - this will open the selected image and also set the browsing directory to the directory of the image.
Save Image - this will save the processed image into the name you provide or onto the original name if you accept it.
Toggle Image - this will toggle processed and original image allowing you to see the difference and fine tune the image settings.
Back - open the previous image on the list of images you see above.
Forward - open the next image on the list of images you see above.
Image List - this list shows the images inside the directory being browsed.
Jpeg Quality - allows you to select the quality and size of the Jpeg files you save, lowest quality is 0% highest quality is 100%, a typical quality setting is 85%.
True Scale - this option allows you to view image in true scale, and pan it using the mouse, press the left mouse button and drag the image onscreen to see the different parts of it.
At the upper part of the screen you can find the image manipulation controls.
For your convenience use the preset settings until getting more comfortable with defining new ones.
Sharpness - this control defines the sharpness of the processed image, increasing this value will make objects look sharper but also will reduce the contrast of shadows on the picture.
Exposure - this control will increase the exposure of the whole image, this will add lighting to the image without losing the contrast of the image.
Shadow - this control will increase the lightness of shadows in your image, the lower it is the darker the shadows will be, the higher it is the brighter the shadows will be.
Preset List - this list selects quick presets for your image, you can edit this list and add or remove presets to it, if you wish to reset the presets to defaults, delete all the presets and press delete once more.
Add Preset - press this button to add a preset setting based on the current values of Sharpness, Exposure and Shadow and select a name for this preset.
Delete Preset - press this button to remove a preset from the list, use this button with caution because you can remove the default presets as well, if you wish to reset the presets to defaults, delete all the presets and press delete once more.
