VitaminBW 2 | Advanced Black & White Conversion and Editing

VitaminBW 1 got a prominent place in the Black and White community because of its conversion quality and the stunning capabilities of Triple Tone. Unfortunately, it missed the live preview and was a bit slow. Recently, thanks to the know-how achieved developing the new plug-ins, we set out to make this outstanding product far better by improving on some of its weaknesses and adding extra features.

Introducing Double USM 2 – The next generation sharpener

Double USM 2 is a sharpening tool working separately on Dark and Light halo’s components of an image. With a double set of sliders, Double USM 2 fills the gap and lets you tweak halos precisely, to fit your image processing needs.
Recently, thanks to the know-how achieved developing plug-ins as Wow!, Mask Equalizer and Next, we set out to make this outstanding product even better by improving on some of Version 1 weaknesses and adding extra features.

We just redesigned the Training Experience and added a What’s New page

Our new training experience includes the user manual, video tutorials and much more. You can easily access to everything by clicking on the book icon at the bottom of all the new plugin panels.

From the manual’s front page, by clicking on the green buttons, you can access each chapter along with additional, external content. Throughout the manual, you will also be able to find other resources including videos, images, tutorials, blog posts and support pages. This additional content is available in each plugin’s training page, which can be accessed from the manual’s front page or the Know-How Transfer site.

Currently available for Mask Equalizer, Wow!, Next and others will follow soon.

Last but not least we added a What’s New page resuming all updates about new contents, products, releases, and documentation.

Introducing NEXT. The Next Generation ALCE

ALCE has been our bestselling product for many years and, since the release of ALCE2, its core functionality has not changed significantly. Recently, thanks to the know-how achieved developing plugins such as Wow! and Mask Equalizer, we set out to make this outstanding product even better by improving some of ALCE’s weaknesses. Specifically, we focused on: creating a live preview, improving the embedded halos suppress tool, adding three masking sliders and finally switching to Quad-Core processing and 32bit computing capabilities, not available in Photoshop.

The result was the Next Generation Local Contrast Enhancer, which we decided to rename NEXT.
