Atlantic Light Works and Reindeer Graphics have released PercepTool 2.0.2, a Photoshop add-on suite that performs HDR, Tone Mapping and Perceptual Effect operations on digital photos. Completely revised and updated, PercepTool 2.0.2 includes a new interface for the Perceptual Effect routine that now includes Exposure and Contrast adjustments instead of using Photoshop tools.

In addition, PercepTool 2.0.2 now includes Equalizer, a superior multi-contrast Tone Mapping interface, and HDR Align and Blend, a High Dynamic Range operator that combines images without “grunge” effects. Included is a histogram with both Levels and Ansel Adams Zone System scales. PercepTool 2.0.2TM may be downloaded only from the website below. For those who have purchased the original PercepToolTM the upgrade cost is $75. The full version is $150.

Reindeer Graphics Press Release
New updated release! 32 bits/Channel mode now streamlined and faster!
Atlantic Light Works and Reindeer Graphics announce the release of PercepTool 2.0.2TM, a Photoshop add-on suite that performs High Dynamic Range (HDR), Tone Mapping and Perceptual Effect operations on digital photographs. Compatible with both Windows and Mac platforms in 32- and 64-bit processing, it operates in Photoshop CS4 and CS5 (Photoshop Extended required for 32-bits/channel). PercepTool 2.0.2TM works with both B&W and Color images in 8-bits, 16-bits and 32-bits.
Completely revised and updated, PercepTool 2.0.2TM includes a new interface for the Perceptual Effect routine that now includes Exposure and Contrast adjustments instead of using Photoshop tools. The Perceptual Effect adjustment has been redesigned to operate faster and to protect the highlights. In addition, PercepTool 2.0.2TM now includes EqualizerTM, a superior multi-contrast Tone Mapping interface, and HDR Align and BlendTM, a High Dynamic Range operator that combines images without “grunge” effects. Included is a Histogram with both Levels and Ansel Adams Zone System scales. LiveViewTM, the ability to work on the image itself and not a preview, is unique to PercepTool 2.0.2TM.
Photographers will find the new HDR and Tone Mapping abilities of PercepTool 2.0.2TM especially exciting. HDR Align and BlendTM finds an optimal alignment for images to be blended (with multiple quality settings) that does not suffer from the flaws in Photoshop’s alignment. The blending of the images occurs with accurate color rendition, reduced noise, and attention to the realistic nature of the photograph itself, rather than an interpretation.
PercepTool 2.0.2TM may be downloaded only from http://www.georgedewolfe.com/perceptool.html . For those who have purchased the original PercepToolTM the upgrade cost is $75. The full version is $150.
