Comprising a trio of dedicated applications for enhancing portraits as well as other photographs, Perfectly Clear Complete from Perfectly Clear is a suite containing the Perfect Eye, Perfect Skin, and Perfect Exposure plug-ins. Each of these applications offer a series of automated adjustments as well as several preset effects for fine-tuning the look of imagery, including Vivid to boost contrast and saturation for more visual depth; Details, which draws out more information in shadows and highlights without reducing overall contrast; Fix Noise, which reduces the appearance of noise without affecting brightness; Fix Tint to remove color casts and white balance issues; and Beautify, that automatically analyzes portraits to determine the combined amount of skin and eye adjustments to apply.
The tools from all three plug-ins have been combined into a single plug-in for seamless access and use of the versatile tool-set within Adobe Photoshop CS 5 or later, Lightroom 3 or later, Photoshop Elements 12 or later, or Corel PaintShop Pro X5-X9, and all of the individual plug-ins are included as well. Additionally, the plug-ins are compatible with both Mac and Windows operating systems and can be activated on up to two computers for use.
