Colour Confidence GrafiLite – Desktop daylight simulation

View prints and colour swatches in natural light, indoors, day or night, with the Colour Confidence GrafiLite. Colour appearance becomes distorted under standard home and office lighting and surrounding colours will bias your colour perception. The GrafiLite allows you to assess colour differences accurately and clearly.

The Colour Confidence GrafiLite combines powerful, energy efficient simulated natural lighting with a space-saving lamp unit and mid-grey neutral viewing mat. Suitable for viewing proofs, prints or colour swatches, the GrafiLite is ideal for photographers, designers or anyone concerned with colour accuracy.

Colour Confidence Tip

Although GrafiLite tubes are rated for up to 10,000 hours, illumination quality will deteriorate with use (from either continuous or intermittent usage). As with any professional viewing lamp, for optimum illumination quality, tubes should be replaced on an annual basis. We recommend adding a spare tube to your order (see options). Please do not attempt to use any other model of bulb in the GrafiLite as this may damage the unit or impair its operation.

onOne FocalPoint

onOne Focal Point Software – The easy, effective way to create selective focus

Create a selective focus point in any digital image with Focal Point from onOne software. In the past, photographers have relied on large aperture lenses to achieve this effect; however, this can be impractical for digital photography. A user-friendly Photoshop/Elements plug-in, Focal Point is the easy way to tone down distracting backgrounds and emphasise the key focus in your photograph post-capture.

onOne Focal Point features an easy to use FocusBug control that acts as a virtual lens. Using FocusBug, digital photographers can easily define a ‘sweet spot’ within an image and control the amount and type of blur added to the background. Focal Point offers a level of control that hardware tools do not, meaning fewer shots are needed at time of capture. Easily add vignettes or layer masks, or apply a 3D tilt to an image. An ideal accessory for wedding, portrait or social photographers.

Please note onOne Focal Point software is currently only available in English.

onOne Genuine Fractals

onOne Genuine Fractals – The ultimate tool for accurate image resizing

Resize images by over 1000% with no loss of sharpness or detail with onOne Genuine Fractals software. A simple to use Photoshop plug-in, onOne Genuine Fractals has revolutionised image enlarging, and is fast becoming the industry standard tool for this often difficult task.

The patented, fractal-based scaling algorithm found only in onOne Genuine Fractals examines your image for naturally repeating patterns and uses them to increase it to the size you choose. The resulting enlarged image maintains the edges and the colour values from your original file without creating artefacts, blurring or halos around edges. Because common resizing tools such as Bicubic work by averaging a small group of neighbouring pixels to determine colour values, sharpness and detail may be lost across the entire image – not with Genuine Fractals. For professional digital photographers, printers or anyone looking to accurately resize images, onOne Genuine Fractals is an essential purchase.

Please note onOne Genuine Fractals software is currently only available in English.
