CompuTrolley.com, official local distributor of Jasc Software, has announced the immediate availability of After Shot Premium Edition. After Shot is an essential application for digital photographers and complements any range of photo editing or desktop publishing programmes, providing an easy way to organise, fix and share photos from a digital camera.
After Shot offers users the tools they need to perform common photo tasks quickly and easily, allowing them to work with multiple photos, rename cryptic files, rotate photos and correct colour with simple and efficient batch processing.
"This Jasc package prints images using 40 photo-package templates, allowing you to e-mail pictures, create Web pages, upload images to photo sharing sites, and more," says Gary Naidoo, national product manager at CompuTrolley.com. "After Shot offers users a host of functionality at a reasonable price."
The product enables users to get individual photo information, organise photos into Web-based albums and find pictures using a simple keyword checklist system. "You can bring photos to life with narration and text, even produce slide shows," notes Naidoo. "It allows you to turn your favourite photos into stop-action mini movies, add voice-overs or music to individual shots, or even `stitch` several images together to form impressive, elongated panoramas."
After Shot`s convenient, one-click upload tool that transfers shots to Shutterfly`s no-charge Internet photo service, is an added bonus. "There you can assemble online galleries and invite friends and family to sample your photographic expertise," says Naidoo.
Users wanting to correct photographic flaws before sharing their pictures can make use of After Shot`s assortment of image enhancement tools. For fast editing, the one-click Quick Fix tool scans an image for obvious contrast and colour balance flaws and then repairs it automatically. To fine-tune hue, colour, brightness and sharpness or to rotate or crop an image, the Image Menu option will allow access to corresponding sliders or commands. "Most tools, including some that control the aspects mentioned above, display a preview of your image before you apply the changes," Naidoo adds.
