Although I
have previously released tools developed for print work,
now I am happy to announce new custom made actions specifically
designed for web display. They are called FM WP (Web presenter).
When
it comes to outputting digital files for the web, some
photographers may have difficulty obtaining sharp and
detailed resized files. FM WP and its automated routines
comes to the rescue providing high image quality files
with a press of a button.
These intuitive actions work with individual files or
in batch mode and are currently compatible with 3, 4,
6 and 11 megapixel digital cameras like the Canon 10D,
D30, D60, 1D and 1Ds.
(Nikon SLRs and other brands also
supported)
Works
with Photoshop 6.0, 7.0 or higher (PC and MAC) -
Not compatible with Photoshop5.5,
LE and Elements.
Here
are the output sizes available for the Canon 1D WP action
set:
What
are the benefits of using the FM WP action compared Photoshop
bicubic resizing?
The
new FM WP actions will provide photographers with a variety
of web output sizes without compromising image quality.
Most known web resizing techniques discard important pixel
information needed to output high quality files. However,
WP technology will downsize your files while retaining
a high level of detail with no additional sharpening necessary.
Please
note: WP actions will not sharpen your images. However,
the innovative, customized steps are designed to maintain
a high level of detail and image quality when resizing
your pictures for the web.
It's best to have your full size files completely edited
(tonal/color/sharpen) before running WP.
Web Presenter is not compatible with "severe"
cropped files.
