Tone Mapping plugin 1.2.1 is a plug-in which makes it easy to compress the tonal range of High Dynamic Range images while maintaining local contrast. Details in both highlights and shadows are retrieved while making the HDR image ready for display on standard monitors and prints.

Mix / Blend Movies 2.0 is a very flexible and effective tool which combines the capabilites of 'minify', 'multiple movies' and 'simple mask' plug-ins into a single, powerful, and incredibly easy-to-use package, and then improves on them.

Major Features:

1. Position, and re-size the movie to be inserted anywhere on the clip (this means that the you are not limited to a 1:1 blend!)
2. Auto-generate a wide range of blend masks (16 base masks with millions of variants each)
3. Import blend masks created with other applications
4. Create blend masks from any picture
5. Auto-scale the blend mask to fit the blended movie (freeing you of this tedious task)
6. Auto-sync the imported movie to the clip''s length, ensuring that they play exactly the same time (making filming the two clips much easier)
7. Auto-enforce proportions, so you can re-size the imported movie without distoring it
   
8. The plug-in comes with 32 professional blend masks. Since this plug-in allows you to place and blend movies at arbitrary size with arbitrary blend masks, it allows effects in a single pass that most FCE users will be hard-pressed to achieve in a whole day. finally, as a member of ''reference class'' series, it also allows real-time preview for all editing.

Noise Buster 6.1 is a high-speed and powerful program which is capable of heating of the camera sensor, long exposure shooting, small pixel size (therefore digital compact cameras generate much noisier images than digital SLRs), high ISO settings, etc.

Digital cameras opened the door to easy and entertaining photography. However, consumer digital cameras also have their drawbacks: they often produce the so-called digital noise. It can be seen as grains that compromise the smoothness of the photo. It is especially annoying on the skin as it makes it uneven. This kind of noise is called luminance noise. There can also be chroma (color) noise which is perceived as random red and blue pixels spoiling the color accuracy of the snap-shot.

AKVIS Noise Buster reduces both luminance and color noise on digital images without spoiling other aspects of the photo. Now your photos look neat and accomplished.
The automatic settings usually give a good result. If not quite satisfied, you can tweak the parameters observing the changes in real time in the preview window. The program's window shows Before and After images for comparison. You can switch between the windows with a click on the image.

Separate setting areas for luminance and chroma noise allow you to deal with each kind of noise in the most efficient way. For further adjustment you have a few advanced parameters at your disposal.

The histogram displaying the noise level and noise components of the loaded image will help you to adjust settings.

AKVIS Noise Buster is available in two editions: as an independent application (standalone) and as a plug-in to a photo editor: Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Corel (Jasc) Paint Shop pro, etc.

The plug-in version of Noise Buster offers Batch Processing support that allows you to automatically convert a series of images. Just create an Action in Photoshop or a Script in Corel Paint Shop Pro and apply the plug-in with the same settings to a folder full of images.
The program is equally useful both for professional and home users.
