The SDK is still available for PS CS. You just have to subscribe to their developer program. $195 a year. It also includes working copies of products. I don't mean to imply you're being greedy or anything of that sort, Vlad. I think your product is very reasonably priced. You're especially generous ...

Actually, Vlad, Adobe is quite forthcoming about the algorithms in their various tools. For example, the principles behind USM are well-known. You would not even be able to market Neat Image Pro + if Adobe was not only forthcoming about how their product works but also open in their architecture, pr...

I make fine art prints. I put a lot of effort into them. If extra effort in the noise profiles will give me better results, it's an investment of time I'm willing to make. I certainly do understand the concept of diminishing returns, which I believe is what you're trying to express to me. I teach st...

Mitch, Do you think grayscale patches contain only luminosity noise? - Neat Image receives enough information about both luminance and chrominance components of the noise from the grayscale patches. Vlad I sort of resent this and your previous message, which was also tinged with insulting reference...

Neutral Target

I'm not persuaded that self-printing will get you even close to a full range of highlights to shadows. I'll leave the issues of metamerism, paper white balance, and non-neutral grayscale tones aside and point out one issue I think is especially pertinent. Most people do not come close to getting 0,0...

Perfect Colors

No, Vlad. I don't assume that NeatImage needs perfect colors. I'm well aware that noise profiles are different from color management profiles. The advantage of the Macbeth ColorChecker is that it has patches for typical colors like light and dark skin tones, sky, and foilage. It also has highly satu...

A Bit Easier

Actually, for the RAW images, there is no need to use separate WB settings, since WB is applied by the RAW converter. All that's added to the RAW file is a metadata tag for the WB setting. JPEGs are another matter. Their WB is applied by the camera. I do not understand how a set of neutral patches c...

Upgrade from Pro to Pro+ Version

Vlad

I just went to the upgrades page. I did not see an option for upgrading from the Pro to the Pro+ version.

I would very much like the PS add-in version.

I have had the Pro version for only a couple of months.

How much is the upgrade, and when will it be available for download.

Cheers,

Mitch

Neat Image Upgrade Policy

I am interested in purchasing Neat Image.

What is the upgrade policy for Neat Image? Are upgrades for the same version free? Also, I upgrade from the Home User to the Professional version, would my previous purchase price be credited for the new version?

Thanks,

Mitch
