A Blog from the Developers
We at Fixel Algorithms, have spent the last few months working on Fixel Recolor 1.5.
We brought some new features which should make things even more exciting for the users of Fixel Recolor 1.5.
Read along to see what’s new in Fixel Recolor 1.5 including the most popular feature request.
Our newest product, Fixel Detailizer 3 is Fixel’s new generation of Multi Scale Details Enhancer.
We’re really proud in this one. Mainly because it was really challenging to create algorithms which both state of the art and fast enough for Real Time use.
Well, so far the only way to interact with was using Email.
No more, we have integrated a new commenting system into our blog.
Engineering is all about defining a problem, supposedly interesting and solvable, and solve it.
At Fixel, each one of the team is also a Photography Enthusiastic.
Hence each of has encountered the following situation - Looking at great image and thinking, “How can I recreates this colors in my image?”.
Since we’re also engineers, it seemed to us as a legitimate problem to define and try to solve.
More than that, it is solvable and we call our solution Fixel Recolor.
In our previous post Luminosity Mask - How Does It (Really) Work? we explained the theory behind Luminosity Mask.
In this post, as promised at the end of previous post, we will explore what happens behind Photoshop based Luminosity Mask generators.
We will see that utilizing Photoshop’s engine to create Luminosity Masks in the methods used by most create some artifact we better avoid.
In order to show how to avoid them we’ll suggest an idea and an implementation in the form of a Photoshop Plug In named - Fixel Zone Selector.
