Seattle, WA, October 19, 2004 – Express
Imaging Systems, LLC announced today that Q-Enhancer software
with red-eye reduction technology is now available to the
North American Market. Q-Enhancer, the fully automatic solution
for batch-processing image enhancement and ICC printer profiling,
is designed for use in digital photo processing environments
and is run in front of printers as part of the workflow.
Q-Enhancer Revision 15 introduces automatic
red-eye reduction, available as an upgrade, and is compatible
with a direct Noritsu minilab print spooler module. The new
Noritsu print spooler module supports printing on multiple
minilabs at the same time over a network connection. Red-eye
reduction significantly reduces the presence of red-eye in
digital and film photos, a major consumer complaint.
“Q-Enhancer is a great tool to enhance
the quality of amateur photos and fix red-eye, found in over
15% of all amateur photography,” explains Bryan Heathman,
VP of Sales & Marketing. “Speed and accuracy are
key components of digitally removing red-eye, which Q-Enhancer
performs in a fraction of a second. This significant Q-Enhancer
release also takes into consideration the unique needs of
Noritsu minilab owners, addressing marketing advantages of
image quality and productivity.”
Q-Enhancer uses i2e image enhancement technology.
This software is designed to batch-process images using high
speed algorithms that recognize the scene content of each
image and automatically determine the best image enhancement
in terms of color accuracy and density balance (overall lightness
or darkness). The software also works deep into the shadow
and highlight areas of an image, and selectively optimizes
the details. Finally, a boost to sharpness is added to create
a print that is preferred by the vast majority of consumer
photographers. These algorithms take control over each pixel,
processing 4 to 5 million pixels per image in mere moments.
Express Imaging Systems is making a free trial
available at www.express-imaging.com/products/Q-Enhancer.htm
. The software is available to download and test today. Q-Enhancer
is compatible with all Noritsu QSS digital minilabs, or any
photographic printer.
