Astra Image 3.0 PS is a collection of excellent plug-ins for Adobe Photoshop (or any application that supports Photoshop plug-ins). Now you can utilise the power of Astra Image from within the industry-standard image manipulation environment.

Highly optimised routines provide you with the speed you expect from scientific-grade software.

Here are some key features of "Astra Image 3.0 PS":

￭ Digital development process (DDP) will enhance contrast and sharpen the image. ￭ Image sharpening can be set to none, low, medium or high. ￭ Mid-level and background values can be adjusted. ￭ The real-time preview shows you exactly what is happening. ￭ Enhance the entire image or just the selected region.

￭ Maximum entropy, Lucy Richardson and Van Cittert deconvolution methods are implemented giving you a wide choice of functions. ￭ Define Gaussian or exponential point spread functions (PSFs) to correct for many kinds of image errors including focus problems and atmospheric turbulence. ￭ A selectable preview area allows you to see the results of deconvolution quickly. ￭ Optimised routines lead to a fast result. ￭ Unconditionally stable deconvolution routines mean you can have great confidence in the resulting images. ￭ Any number of deconvolution iterations can be specified from 1 to 65535. ￭ Enhance the entire image or just the selected region.

￭ Wavelet sharpening quickly enhances your images at various scales. This is very useful for all digital images, especially planetary images. ￭ Using wavelet sharpening, details within the image can be selectively sharpened from very small detail up to very large detail ￭ A selectable preview area with real-time update shows you the results of wavelet sharpening quickly. ￭ Enhance the entire image or just the selected region.

Extensive image statistics can be quickly calculated including the mean, minimum, maximum and standard deviation. Statistics directly exported into Microsoft Excel for further analysis. Detailed histograms are be created and displayed quickly. Histograms can display the intensity or separate R, G and B histograms. The chart updates instantly whenever a change is made. Statistics and histograms can be calculated for the entire image or just the selected region.
