SUNRISE-WORLD

Power Stroke introduces a simple, interactive stroke-based interface to quickly and intuitively perform targeted adjustments. Instead of meticulously selecting regions or hand-painting masks, regions of interest are isolated by drawing a few simple brush strokes with adjustments then made only in those areas. Strokes can be assigned multiple adjustments and effects such as color correction, recoloring or desaturation, colorization of black and white images, blur, fill light for dimly lit image areas and Diffusion/Glow.
Features :

Adjust

The Adjust controls manipulate the color of the image in the area defined by a stroke. Hue, saturation, brightness, contrast, gamma, red, green, blue, temperature and cyan/magenta can all be adjusted and manipulated.

Blur

Individual strokes and the areas defined by them can have varying blur values to create interesting depth of field effects.

Colorize

Colorization is the art of adding color to a monochrome image or movie. The idea of coloring photos and films is not new. Ironically, hand coloring of photographs is as old as photography itself. There exists such examples from 1842 and possibly earlier. Colorization was used in motion pictures in the early 1900´s by the French Company Pathé, where many films were colored by hand. It was also a common practice for filmstrips into the 1930´s. The computerassisted process was first introduced by Canadians Wilson Markle and Brian Hunt in 1970 for adding color to black and white movies.


Diffusion/Glow

Diffusion/Glow creates diffusion or glows around selected areas of the image.


Fill Light

Fill Light adds light to shadow areas as if you were adding light at the time of photography.


Gradient

Multi-colored gradients when applied to strokes colorize according to the image´s brightness values. The colors located at the left side of the gradient are applied to shadow areas, colors on the right part of the gradient are applied to highlight areas, while the colors in the middle are applied to midtones.


Selective Recoloring

Areas of the image are isolated with strokes and using advanced recoloring algorithms are naturally tinted.

Selective Black and White

Selective black and white effects have become increasingly popular and can be achieved using Power Stroke, even if you are working with objects that contain fine detail, like strands of hair.
