Release Issued by Pixmantec ApS:
Pixmantec Partners With ETCETERA Consulting To Provide Sophisticated Color Profiles For Canon And Nikon Digital SLRs
Copenhagen, November 15, 2005: Danish digital imaging specialists Pixmantec ApS are pleased to announce the immediate release of RawShooter | Color Engine. A plugin for both existing and forthcoming RawShooter RAW workflow applications, RawShooter |Color Engine provides discerning photographers with an excellent alternative to the standard RawShooter profiles. Designed in cooperation with color expert Magne Nilsen of ETCETERA Consulting, RawShooter | Color Engine seamlessly integrates into all RawShooter applications. Built using an advanced architecture, RawShooter | Color Engine delivers a level of sophistication that has yet to be seen in DSLR profile management and thus has the potential or exciting enhancements to come.
RawShooter | premium 2006 provides standard colour profiles, for all DSLRs that it supports, that will satisfy most photographers needs. However, color is very subjective and what looks great to one photographer may not be to another photographers’ taste. Hence some photographers may require a different color interpretation than the RawShooter | premium 2006 standard profiles provide. Previously solutions to the problem have been to produce static color profiles but for many this method has been too complicatd to use due to the out of the way location
of Windows directories where certain files must be stored. RawShooter | Color Engine is a sophisticated color application that takes this to a new level, allowing the photographer to obtain the ultimate in color matching and accuracy from RawShooter | premium 2006. The plugin technology is simple to install, use and maintain, no matter what the skill level of the individual photographer. Users don't have to worry about having the latest versions of different profiles, since these are always included inside the latest version of RawShooter | Color Engine.
