Prizmo 1.0 Released



For people who have a high regard for resolutions no longer have to console themselves with the need of scanners. Creaceed has made life easier with the launch of Prizmo 1.0, a new Mac application for scanning everything.

From now on, if you can take a picture of something with your camera, you don’t need to buy a scanner anymore. Nowadays, more and more people own digital cameras. Current cameras often have 10 megapixel sensors, and a 10 megapixel image is roughly as good as a 300 dpi US-Letter scan. And with some image processing and binarization, you can even go beyond 600 dpi. Therefore, using one’s camera for scanning rather than buying an additional device only for that purpose, is an easy way to save room and money.

Features:

  • Input images: Regular photo files including JPEG, RAW, TIFF
  • Direct browsing of camera content, and of iPhoto, Aperture and Lightroom libraries
  • Lens distortion correction
  • Perspective correction
  • Extraction grid with interactive grid positioning
  • Real time preview of extracted image
  • Guessing of optimal DPI for current image/grid configuration
  • Brightness, contrast, sharpness and saturation tuning
  • Smart Binarization for even improved output resolution
  • Drag result from preview pane to any other application
  • Output images: JPEG, TIFF, PNG
  • Collaborative sharing of camera calibration data
  • Clean and user-friendly interface

How Does Prizmo Work?

  1. Take a picture of the document.
  2. Import it into Prizmo.
  3. Select the part of the photograph you need.
  4. Easily process the selected image in a few clicks (change brightness, contrast, height and width).
  5. Drag and drop it to your desktop.
  6. Send the image by email, print it, save it on your computer or on an external disk, as you like it.

Prizmo 1.x costs $39.95 (USD), and is available in English, French and German on Creaceed’s website. A fully functional, time-unlimited trial version is available. The demo version generates watermarked images. Student and Educational discounts are offered for $19.95 (USD).
