Introducing
the WP Pro 16-bit series
Plugin.
The
highest quality downsampling tool
The
Web Presenter 16-bit* FM Plugin is the
result of many months of development
and replaces all previous general
and custom-made WP actions. With this
new essential digital darkroom Photoshop
Plugin, photographers have access
to powerful
and flexible options for customizing
their own image downsampling output.
The possibilities
are infinite. Choose from any pixel dimension
or even downsample your images by scale
by using smart algorithms.
When
it comes to outputting digital files
for the web, monitor or projectors, some
photographers may have difficulty obtaining
sharp and detailed resized files. The
WP Pro series Plugin and its automated
routines come to the rescue by providing
high image quality files with just the
press of a button.
The
main concept of this professional Plugin
is to offer one solution for all digital
files.
Note: PC
version illustrations will be shown throughout
this page. Identical features are available
for Mac users. The new interface functionality
and concept was based on the feedback
from many photographers looking for the
highest quality when downsampling their
files and presenting them on the web,
monitor or projector. The WP Pro plugin
is the next generation downsampling tool
and it's part of the FM Essential Digital
Darkroom plugins.
This
example compares the WP Pro Plugin to
normal Photoshop downsampling. (100%
original file after resizing)

WP
Pro Plugin settings:
'Original
Size' field:
The Original
Size field shows your original
file setting, which is an important
reference before running WP Pro.
Example:
Pixel
Dimensions: 1648
X 2464 Pixels (Original Width X Height)
WP
Pro resizing methods:
Three
(3) powerful and flexible downsampling
methods are available. Photographers
can choose from:
Decrease
image by Percentage (%)
With
this option you may
resize your files based on scale. For
example, if you enter
50% at the Increase image field, WP Pro
will provide you 1/2 of
your original dimension.
Therefore,
if your original file is: 1648 X 2464
pixels, entering 50% will resize it to
824 X 1232 pixels.
Set
image size
In
the above example, I added 1232 pixels
width. The height of 824 pixels was added
automatically based on the original image
aspect ratio.
Sharpening
options (Works with
any of the above WP downsampling
methods)
The
default sharpening setting for WP Pro
is 'No sharpening'. However, you can
add special formulated sharpening to
your images during resize. Two sharpening
options are available: Low and High sharpening.
