Adaptive lighting
Brighten shadows, overcome backlighting, and tame excessive contrast

Once you discover the illumination and tone controls in Photo Ninja, you'll wonder how you ever got along without them. These controls access a remarkable adaptive lighting engine that can pull detail from shadows, overcome backlighting, tame aggressive highlights, and compress excessive contrast -- all without flattening detail and without halo artifacts. This state-of-the-art technology intelligently compresses dynamic range while yielding pleasing, natural-looking results.

Detail enhancement
Intelligent local contrast adjustment

Photo Ninja's exceptional Detail Enhancement filter intelligently boosts or smooths detail in an image. This world-class technology can "pop" fine- and medium-scale detail in an image and add drama with natural-looking results and without distracting halos. Depending on the subject and the amount of enhancement, the effect can be varied from subtle to surreal, offering a considerable range of artistic control.

When set to negative amounts, the detail enhancement filter produces a mild smoothing effect without blurring. This is particularly useful for smoothing skin without creating an unnatural plastic look.

Highlight recovery
Repair overexposure

Digital cameras are notoriously unforgiving of overexposure. Fortunately, Photo Ninja includes world-class technology for repairing many cases of overexposure in RAW images. While the effectiveness depends on the particular subject matter and the degree of overexposure, Photo Ninja can often produce a very convincing reconstruction of the missing data. Moreover, it is fully automatic and works seamlessly with the exposure and tone controls.
