"imageSynth has become a favorite plug-in for the Photoshop community due to its ease of use and the smooth - almost magical - results users get when processing input images," said Brad Peebler, president and co-founder of Luxology. "imageSynth 2 is a real workhorse - processing even print resolution images into new, tile-able images at amazing speed."
"Since its creation, there has been no substitute for imageSynth - it fills an essential need for game developers and DTP professionals alike," said Gary Bouton, noted PhotoShop author and artist. "There's no other Photoshop plug-in that even comes close for manually building high-resolution seamless tiling textures."
The imageSynth software allows users to quickly create a new synthetic image based on areas of interest that are identified in one or more source images. imageSynth can handle a wide range of image subjects, and is especially useful when working with 'noisy' images such as crowds or beach pebbles. The royalty-free images that imageSynth creates are unique derivations and will tile together seamlessly, making them ideal for use as backgrounds, brushes or texture maps.
New and improved features in imageSynth 2 include:
Native performance improvements will process images up to 10 times faster than previous version
New algorithm is threaded for use on dual-core systems
Improved memory management enables handling of larger scenes
New control over chunk size and orientation

imageSynth 2 is available now for USD $99. Existing imageSynth users can upgrade for USD $49. imageSynth works with Adobe Photoshop CS3 or higher and also includes a new standalone version. imageSynth users are welcome to use it on both the PC and the Mac as needed.
