The
D30 CSpro Plugin is a new sharpening technology specific
designed to accommodate the Canon D30 SLR files. This
plugin is compatible with JPEG files straight from
the camera or TIFF/JPEG files converted from RAW.
Complexity makes this plugin very smart: It provides
everything from haloless sharpening, edgesharpening,
luminance sharpening, mode sharpening, and more
with
just the press of a button.
Included are 8 automated intensity levels and 2 Tweak levels.
The
D30 CSpro Plugin
is compatible with Photoshop
Elements 1 and 2, Photoshop 6.0, 7.0 or higher
NOTE: PC
and MAC FM plugins are offered as separate packages.
Make sure to download the correct one for your operation
system.


Below is an
example comparing the D30 RAW file converted to 8-bit
tiff with no sharpening as camera parameter against Photoshop
USM setting and the "high" D30 CSpro setting:

|
D30
(no sharpening parameter)
|
|
|
Photoshop
USM (Unsharp mask)
|
|
|
D30
CSpro (high)
|
Notice the
accentuated halo effect from the Photoshop's USM setting
compared to the D30 CSpro. Also pay attention to
the amount of noise created by USM. The D30 CSpro
does not increase noise and sharpens only what needs
to
be sharpened.
Now, let's
compare USM and D30 CSpro with foliage against the sky.
By the way all the samples are 100% crops from full 8-bit
tiff files saved as jpg low compression.

On the above
demonstration, you can see that the D30 CSpro does
not sharpen the sky (keeping the sky noise identical
to the original file) and applies haloless sharpening
to
the foliage and other elements. Again, these are 100%
crops.
It's worth
noting that D30 CSpro can be used with any type
of images, from portraits, landscape, still-life and
especially with HIGH ISO files. It sharpens your D30
files and keeps
noise and artifacts to a minimum. (Also works with
jpeg files straight from the camera.)
