NewswireTODAY - /newswire/ - Toronto, Ontario, Canada, 2008/07/20 - Free-Photoshop-Plugins.com announces a white balance tool that allows users to quickly set white balance and recover highlight detail normally discarded by the white balance process.

Free-Photoshop-Plugins.com is announcing a freeware white balance and highlight recovery plugin for Adobe® Photoshop®. The plugin allows users to quickly neutralize color casts by drag-selecting an area of their image and also recovers highlight detail that would otherwise be clipped in the white balance process. The plugin is no substitute for white balancing via a RAW workflow but is suitable for situations where RAW image data simply is not available. In addition, the plugin can also be used for creative effect by adding or removing warmth via changing the color balance.

Freeware
Free-Photoshop-Plugins.com is run by Colormancer, a commercial plug-in vendor that sells color enhancement tools. Glenn Chan, founder of Colormancer, says, "I wanted to release something completely free -no adware, no spyware, no email harvesting, nothing- to build trust among users and to show that we make quality image processing tools."

32-bit floating point precision
The white balance plugin supports 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit image modes. It sacrifices speed to perform all internal calculations in 32-bit floating point precision even in 8-bit and 16-bit image modes. The high precision rendering is used to minimize rounding error and to avoid banding artifacts.

Smart Filter enabled
Colormancer is compatible with Adobe Photoshop's Smart Filter feature to enable convenient non-destructive tweaking of filter parameters.

The white balance and highlight recovery plugin for Adobe® Photoshop® can be downloaded free of charge.
