One thing makes Digital Camera Enhancer different from other tools - reducing the noise and skin smoothing algorithm. It makes DCE ideal for making cool portraits and close-ups!
First you have to find out the optimal settings for your camera. There are just few sliders you will be changing more often:
- Midtones - if your image is too dark or too bright
- De-Noiser - to reduce noise and skin artifacts from the objects on the image.
Once you find your optimal settings, it should work on most of your images from the same camera.
And you will always find images where it doesnt work...
The image on the left is an original image with a little dark midtones, some jpg artifacts with noise and too pronounced skin details. The Digital Camera Enhancer corrects the midtones, adds saturation and soften the skin.
Tips:
- Dont try to make magic with image which is already fine balanced. No software could add pixels. So if you dont see much details, it is the time to move to the 2.1 Mega Pixel...
- Dont boost the Color too much. By enhancing the colors you also enhance the pixel difference.
- Most of the cameras underexpose a little. That means you have to move the Midtones slide somewhere to the 3/4 (closer to the right) However some of your images could be overexposed (already too bright). Move the slider close to the left, make it darker.
- When you are using the Noise reducing select the type of image - Landscape, Mid Details and Close-up. If you for example use Close-up for image of landscape, it will smooth all the details of grass and trees and the image wouldnt look too natural.
- Do not take your shots from inside car. Just break and get out. It is worth it.
- Dont replace the original images unless you have seen the image in your favorite viewer and you are fine with the result.
