Expert after expert has abandoned the "professional" applications that they have used for years to edit and touch-up images. They've done this to take advantage of WinImages ability to "get down and dirty" with their images in ways no other software can.

Doubt us? Sure you do. But read the rest of this page before you decide. We think we can convince you WinImages is all that, and more.

Imagine being able to surround a blemish or a deep scratch with an area selection, and with no more fuss than letting go of the mouse button, the problem area is completely repaired. The scratch is filled, the blemish dissapears, and without any messy "cloning" or texture replication required. WinImages provides these capabilities, and much more.

WinImages can even do repairs like these on streams of images; a scratched film can be repaired by performing one or more "key frame" area selections, which WinImages will then move around on the film as required to literally follow, and fix, the scratch on the film.

What if you could take your child and put a glowing light-sabre in their hand? With WinImages, it's one simple operation - you have full control over length, color, glow, thickness, taper and more. Furthermore, the light-sabre will wave about and track your child's hands if you're adding effects to a series of frames.

What if you could edit people and objects out of photographs? WinImages is the most powerful tool on the market for this purpose. You can split images into their component parts, and put them back together without one, if you so choose. You can even rebuild the background - easily.

Everyone's entitled to a mistake. Don't you agree?

Eventually, though, we figure out what we're doing and choose the right person, right?

And then...

How about compositing? Does your compositing tool handle transparency, well, transparently? Check out how WinImages lifted the squid off the sand and plopped it over a new backdrop with the transparency the squid's edges had on the sand. Can your image editing software do that?

What if you could instantly, interactively, fix "poor" images? Low contrast, too-bright "Flares", yellowing, greenish or reddish tints? What if it was as easy as point and click? Would that tempt you?

How about if details that you wanted were lost in the shadows. What if you could pull those out in one swift and convenient operation? WinImages is the tool that can do all this, and much more.

What if you could fix problems with image depth-of-field? Impossible, right? No! WinImages can combine two images with different depths of field and make one completely in-focus result image out of them.

Check out the shot of the birch trees at the right. In the top image, the camera was set so that the trees in the background were in focus. The tree up front is hopelessly blurred.

In the second image, the camera was re-focused so that the tree in front was in focus, but that made the trees in the background out of focus.

In the final image, with one mouse click, WinImages combines the two so that the focused elements are brought together in one image.

This will work with any two images of the same scene. At the time you go to combine two different depths of field, they need to line up, that is, show the same picture in different degrees of focus. Of course, if you move a little when you take the second shot, WinImages can fix that, too. You can "roll" images vertically and horizontally, and you can rotate them as well. Multiple depth of field shots from a tripod will work just fine.

Aside from touch-up editing and repairs, WinImages also provides hundreds of special effects and image adjustment tools which can be used on the entire image, or just on the spots you want to work on. There's nothing out there that handles photos and artwork the way WinImages does. Discover what thousands of others already have - WinImages is definitely the "900-lb gorilla" of image manipulation software.
