New version offers twice as many one-click photo effects, edges, frames and adornments and extends the capabilities of Photoshop Elements

Portland, OR-- October 5, 2011 -- onOne Software, Inc., a leading developer of innovative, time-saving solutions for professional and advanced amateur photographers, today announced a new version of Photo Essentials for Adobe® Photoshop® Elements. onOne Photo Essentials 4 is a collection of five tools that helps users easily correct color, remove and replace backgrounds, add photographic effects, add frames, edges and borders, and enlarge photos. These easy-to-use tools help photography enthusiasts improve their images quickly and easily in Photoshop Elements.

Supporting the new Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, onOne's Photo Essentials 4 offers these five tools to help users make their photos look their best:

• Make It Better -- Takes the guesswork out of color correction with a patented process of side-by-side comparisons. New technology corrects brightness and contrast instantly, bringing all detail to life, even in images that initially seem too dark.

• Cut It Out -- Removes backgrounds from complex subjects easier than ever. Intuitive tools make it easy to paint away unwanted backgrounds while maintaining fine details in photos, such as hair, smoke, glass and netting.

• Make It Cool -- Offers a complete library of professional-looking effects that can be applied with just one click, including HDR and vintage looks. Effects can be applied selectively with the Masking Brush and Masking Bug. Multiple effects can be stacked on top of each other to create a unique look, then saved and shared with friends.

• Frame It -- Provides the perfect finishing touch to images with more than 1200 professionally-designed textures, adornments, edges and frames.

• Enlarge It -- Makes large, high-quality prints from small files with patented technology that maintain sharp edges and small details. Perfect for enlarging and printing images from camera phones.

"Our mission has always been to offer photographers of all skill levels easy-to-use tools to make their images the best that they can be," said Craig Keudell, president of onOne Software. "In addition to the new features added to Frame It and Enlarge It, this update to Photo Essentials 4 brings significant improvements to the most popular module, Make it Cool, that include 50 new one-click effects and new brushes that easily allow photographers to make their images look amazing."
