Image Trends announced two new technologies at the PMA 2007! The company talked about the DustKleen, an automatic dust removal program and SensorKleen a semi-automatic SmartBrush™ that removes artifacts created by dust and debris. The new products for now will be available in WIndows but ), the Mac versions will follow. Both applications will be priced at $49.95 US each and are available now for a free “try before you buy” download at www.ImageTrendsInc.com.

DustKleen can clean images s from any scanner using any media – negatives, slides, and prints and includes a manual touch up mode too. One can also set the Size, Amount and Aggression sliders for optimum dust removal via the automatic correction portion.

On the other hand SensorKleen removes artifacts from the image created by dust and debris on the DSLR sensor cover without destroying the image. This product will be followed later in 2007 by the fully automatic SensorKleen Pro version.

“When we talk to individuals that scan their negatives, slides, and prints the most common complaint is visible defects in the scanned image. They tell us they want a simple, fast, automatic way to correct these images without having to learn a complicated image editing software program”, said Dan Sullivan, president and CEO of Image Trends, Inc. “Regardless of the scanner used or the media being scanned DustKleen will automatically remove most of the image defects including those on black and white and Kodachrome images.”

Dan furthermore says that, “The popularity of the Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera along with their interchangeable lenses has created a whole new imaging problem. It is a forgone conclusion that if you change lenses the environment will deposit dust on your sensor regardless how careful you are. Our new SensorKleen application is designed to easily and quickly remove the dust from the images in-between sensor cleanings. It might be considered the “morning after” dust removal program. These two new products incorporate a new user interface that will become the platform for new products and features in the future. Additionally, as we have done with the Fisheye-Hemi Plug-In, we will continuously improve our products and offer updates at no charge.”
