Image Analyzer

Found this free image analyzer / image editor program, I have been trying it out and seems to be quite good at reduce bluring due to movement.

I am going to have a look now. I am always looking for a way to fix my horrible pictures. .. lol :nutcase: Seriously though thanks I am always looking for new programs to enhance pics. Maybe you have some before after shots?

ok here is a before and after shot of the well at richhill castle. My camera was slightly damaged and had a loose lens mount so the focus was out.


Before Enhancement


After Enhancement

I think it's quite good for about 30seconds work. I'm still playing with the program to see it's limitations, It also has a colour map function that can indicate if a pic has been edited.

Thanks that's pretty good for 30 seconds. I downloaded it and it's good for simple editing for people like me who might not be so technical. It's pretty simple to understand and use.
Cheers Mate!:disc::disc:

your welcome. if you check out the colour map function you'll see a graph, if a pic has been edited typically the graph will show smoother peaks and troughs, it could be a good way of telling genuine pics from altered. Let me know what you think.

most imaging programs are similar, but this "free" version had a good range of tools including histograms etc, generally if a pic has beeen edited the histogram becomes smoother, which can help spot faked pics. With this program, like some of the more costly programs you can help reduce blurring and camera shake with a subtle rearrangnet of the pixels. To be honest most picture analysis comes down to logical common sense, observation of light sources and knowing how light travels through the camera, as well as being aware of the causes of many effects. Some times attempting to recreate the effect caught in the pic and comparing the results is usefull.
I find the best way to learn how to use a program like this is to have a play and see what it can do for you.
