ContrastMaster for Adobe Photoshop v1.01

ContrastMaster offers three local and four global contrast adjustment methods as well as various masking,
saturation and brightness options. The three local adjustment methods allow you to dramatically improve
contrast in small image details without blowing out highlights or damaging the image. You can apply these
three methods separately or use various options to mix them together for even better results.
The four global methods (S/H-Contrast, Stretch, Equalize and Polarize) work on the tonal range of the image
and help to improve the result even further. There is also an option for changing the brightness of the image.
The masking options let you conveniently remove the ContrastMaster effect from an image area where you do not
want to have it applied, e.g. skin areas, a blue sky or a wall. This can be done with the help of shadow/highlight
and color masking options. Additionally, a saturation mask feature lets you improve saturation without oversaturat
ing the image.
Sophisticated Algorithms
ContrastMaster offers three sophisticated methods for enhancing contrast in small image details. They are
called Dynamic, Adaptive and Local. In fact, these three methods utilize five algorithms in total, because
the dynamic and adaptive methods each use another algorithm for certain control settings. Each of these algorithms
adjusts the contrast of image details in its own special way, which makes ContrastMaster useful for different types
of images and allows you to produce a variety of effects and looks.
