SensorKleen Pro Frequently Asked Questions:

SensorKleen removes sensor dust and debris from Digital SLR camera images

Q: What is SensorKleen?
A:SensorKleen is two products in one: SensorKleen Pro provides the automatic correction of a high number of images while SmartBrush corrects one image at a time. SensorKleen Pro will automatically identify and correct dust and debris in the image. The SensorKleen technology is unique in that it combines the speed of an automatic calculation of the dust size with the flexibility of a manual touch up mode using the SmartBrush technology. SensorKleen will process the image and separate image content from the dust on the sensor glass based on the image metadata from a Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera. The SensorKleen SmartBrush allows the user to show the image content under the dust.

SensorKleen removes artifacts from the image created by dust and debris on the DSLR camera sensor cover. This patent pending technology uses the camera and lens metadata to differentiate between image content and the defects. In the hands of a user, the advanced SmartBrush technology removes only the artifacts while restoring the underlying image content in a single image at a time.

Q: Is there a minimum number of images for SensorKleen Pro?
A: Please select at least 20 images to optimize processing. The more images the better! SensorKleen Pro groups images by f-stop. The more images per f-stop, the more accurate the correction.

In the event that the set of images only has a few small aperture images, it may be necessary to use SensorKleen SmartBrush to correct those few images.

Q: Where in my workflow should I use SensorKleen Pro?
A: For the best results, SensorKleen Pro should be used before any editing (including cropping or rotating) is done to the images. The images must be in camera raw, JPEG or TIFF format. If the images are in camera raw format, the input image will not be modified and the output images will be in DNG format.

Q: Does SensorKleen Pro support camera raw formats?
A: Yes we support most camera raw formats as input. SensorKleen Pro writes the 'Kleened' images out as DNG files. The original Raw files are preserved.

Q: Why do I have a .DNG file for each of my original camera raw images?
A: Each DSLR camera has a unique camera Raw format. SensorKleen Pro utilized the Adobe Raw converter to transform the camera Raw image to a common .DNG format. This Adobe converter transforms camera Raw images to an Adobe Raw image (.DNG). This converter will not convert images back into the original camera Raw format as each camera format is unique.

Q: What is a Bayer array?
A: The Bayer array is the camera sensor that captures each image. It was developed by Dr. Bayer and is represented by 50% green pixels, 25% red pixels, and 25% blue pixels. There are some cameras that have different pixel sizes or change the shape of the array. Additional information can be found at the following WEB Site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayer_filter.

Q: How do I fix dust that appears part way through the set.
A: Occasionally. in a large set of images, additional dust appears in a portion of that set; for example, caused by changing the lens during a shoot. It is suggested to run the entire series through SensorKleen Pro once and then run the subset of corrected images, with the additional dust, a second time through SensorKleen Pro.

Q: When do I use SmartBrush?
A: SmartBrush technology is included within SensorKleen Pro and should be used when you have a few images where the dust and debris were not fully removed.

Q: How can I turn off the SmartBrush 'Control Panel'?
A: Simply right mouse click on the image in the 'Image View' window and select 'View Control Panel' in the 'Pop-Up Control Box'.

Q: How can I turn on the SmartBrush 'Control Panel'?

Fisheye-Hemi Frequently Asked Questions:
Fisheye-Hemi: It's for people...
Q: What is Fisheye-Hemi?
A: Fisheye-Hemi is a set of Apple Aperture or Photoshop compatible plug-ins that offer an aesthetically pleasing and natural view of the image using a unique mapping technology! Fisheye-Hemi provides a more normal view of people by not distorting their faces and bodies and straightens vertical lines. It has improved resolution of the image plus it displays the intended composition and framing better than other un-warping programs.

Fisheye-Hemi 1 (Circle) works best with a lens and camera combination that covers 180 degrees horizontally across the field, such as a Nikon D80 with an 8mm lens.

Fisheye-Hemi 2 (Full Frame) works best with a lens and camera combination that covers 180 degrees diagonally, such as a Nikon D80 with a 10.5mm lens. This combination is commonly called a 'full frame fisheye image'.

Fisheye-Hemi 3 (Cropped) works best with a lens and camera combination that covers less than 180 degrees diagonally, such as a Nikon D80 with a 16mm lens.

Q: Does Fisheye-Hemi require a user interface?
A: For Photoshop, Fisheye-Hemi is a simple plug-in filter which requires no user adjustments. For Aperture, Fisheye-Hemi provides a simple user interface to select which lens camera combination is being utilized. Fisheye-Hemi automatically adjusts for images of different height to width (aspect) ratios, such as 2x3, 3x4, square, etc. The software also automatically adjusts for various resolutions.
Q: How do I use this plug-in within Photoshop?
A: First, install the plug-in before you start your image editor. Next, start your image editor application, open a fisheye image, and navigate to the Filters pull-down at the top of the screen. You will see Image Trends Inc as an option. Select the Fisheye-Hemi filter (1, 2, or 3) you want to run. The un-purchased and un-activated product will show a screen allowing you to purchase the product. The image that is behind it is a watermarked copy of the corrected image. This free trial version shows you the functionality. Once you purchase and activate the product, it will no longer watermark the image. Like most Photoshop Plug-In Filters, you can run a Photoshop script to correct all images in a folder at once!
Q: How do I use this plug-in within Aperture?
A: First, install the plug-in before you start Aperture. Next, start Aperture and navigate to Images > Edit With > Fisheye-Hemi Plug-In. Now select the appropriate radio button for Fisheye Hemi 1, 2, or 3. The un-purchased and un-activated product will watermark your edited version of the image. This free trial version shows you the functionality. Once you purchase and activate the product, it will no longer watermark the image. To purchase and activate, select the 'Buy/Activate' button in the lower left of the plug-in screen and follow the prompts.

Q: What cameras and lens combinations are supported?
A: The Fisheye-Hemi filters support different combinations of cameras and lenses.

Fisheye-Hemi 1 (Circle) works best with a lens and camera combination that covers 180 degrees horizontally across the field, such as a Nikon D80 with an 8mm lens.

Fisheye-Hemi 2 (Full Frame) works best with a lens and camera combination that covers 180 degrees diagonally, such as a Nikon D80 with a 10.5mm lens. This combination is commonly called a 'full frame fisheye image'.

Fisheye-Hemi 3 (Cropped) works best with a lens and camera combination that covers less than 180 degrees diagonally, such as a Nikon D80 with a 16mm lens.

These three Fisheye-Hemi filters work with many combinations of fisheye lenses and cameras.

For detailed information on supported Camera and Lens combinations, please refer to the WEB site under Products, Fisheye-Hemi, Supported Cameras/Lenses: Supported Cameras/Lenses

Fisheye-Hemi will work with most full frame lenses on medium format film cameras with the entire maximum image size captured. You are encouraged to try the software with your specific images before you buy it.
Fisheye-Hemi will also work with consumer cameras with fisheye converters when zoomed to a specific focal length. If you see barrel distortion in the Fisheye-Hemi images, zoom towards telephoto, if you see pincushion distortion, zoom towards wide angle to find and mark the ideal zoom setting.
Fisheye-Hemi will not work with a 15/16mm lens on a digital camera with an APS size sensor. These lenses were designed for full frame film camera use, but with many digital zoom lenses covering to 18mm, a 15/16mm fisheye has less utility on a digital camera with an APS size sensor.
When you use a fisheye adapter attached to a zoom lens, or when using a new fisheye zoom lens on a DSLR, you can get different effects by choosing different zoom settings. Normally you would use the zoom setting that makes vertical lines straight. Each of the three versions of Fisheye-Hemi is optimized for different zoom settings. Experiment to find the optimal zoom settings for your equipment, and then use those settings in the future.
