The Only High Dynamic Range Software Capable of Editing and Rendering Images in the Full 32-Bit Color Scheme Extends Its Creative Toolbox to Mac Users

South San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) February 2, 2010 -- Unified Color Technologies (http://www.unifiedcolor.com), the experts in high dynamic range imaging (HDR), today announced that its hallmark software application, HDR PhotoStudio, is now also available for Mac operating systems. Powered by Unified Color’s next-generation color model, Beyond RGB™, HDR PhotoStudio is the only solution capable of creating realistic-looking HDR images that unlock the full range of color as perceived by human vision.

Unified Color Technologies, the experts in high dynamic range imaging (HDR) HDR PhotoStudio provides photographers with complete control over the colors within an image and a comprehensive toolbox to address the effects of merging multiple exposures, while simultaneously improving workflow. Available for immediate download through http://www.unifiedcolor.com, the Mac version of HDR PhotoStudio is being offered for an introductory price of $99.00 throughout the month of February, which represents a savings of over $50.00.

“In response to requests from photographers, we are excited to introduce HDR PhotoStudio to the Mac faithful,” said Alfred Zee, CEO of Unified Color Technologies. “With HDR PhotoStudio, Mac users can finally produce full-color HDR images that they envision, without concern that their dynamic range or colors will be clipped or shifted by applications constrained by traditional narrow gamut color models. With our technology, photographers can unlock the full color spectrum while preserving a realistic look and feel to their images.”

HDR PhotoStudio’s unique 32-bit floating-point technology and Beyond RGB color space is the only HDR-capable software which can accurately depict and edit all the colors the human visual system can recognize. Most other offerings are forced to reduce image quality to bring an HDR photo into a color range it can manage, often losing image data and clipping the full scope of colors in the process. While the current evolution of HDR photography has been dominated by oversaturated and unnatural-looking images, mainly due to these software limitations, HDR PhotoStudio enables photographers to unlock their complete photographic vision enables by creating the most true-to-life look for HDR images.

An included BEF-converting Photoshop plug-in, enables the finalized HDR image to then be applied to a Photoshop project.
