NEAT Projects

NEAT Projects is an application specially designed for users who enjoy landscape photography, but would like to remove traffic, clusters of people or other motion that obstructs the motif of the picture.

The program comes with a user-friendly and versatile interface, so it is unlikely that you can encounter any issues getting around. While most of the interface is dedicated to the working space, you can enlarge it even further by undocking the tools' panels and placing them in a more convenient location on your desktop.

Depending on what you want to achieve, the utility comes with a plethora of functions and tools that you can access from the menus. The app also permits you to examine the pictures from different perspectives and motion filters. For instance, the Border Pixels is a handy utensil that allows you to find areas that tend towards maximum white or black values so that you can make the necessary adjustments.

The highlight of the application is the sequence editor, a tool that is specialized in editing unwanted motion from your pictures. The program includes several algorithms to lend you a hand with this operation, namely remove motion multipass, brightness, color and matrix.

While in the case of brightness and color, the technique entails removing a single component, the matrix focuses on identifying fine movements. The multipass implies removing color channels and brightness of individual pixels and it is suitable in most situations.

On a side note, the app comes with an optimization assistant tool that remembers your preferences (brightness, tonal values, clarity, dynamic or sharpness corrections, etc.), so it can be useful when you want to achieve fast and fascinating results.

In the eventuality that you enjoy capturing the main attractions of the cities or places you are visiting, but would like to eliminate the motion, traffic and any other unflattering element from your photos, then perhaps NEAT Projects could lend you a hand.
