Cleanerzoomer 4.01

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This photo-editing tool seems better suited for technical shooters than everyday shutterbugs. Nevertheless, Cleanerzoomer's interface, while certainly not beautiful, is simple to use. Toolbar icons provide access to all major editing functions, while a handful of the most important ones get huge buttons on the Instrument Browser. The lion's share of the main window is reserved for previewing images, but you can always zoom in or out if you want a different view. Power users can process files via the command-line interface. Unlike many standard image editors, Cleanerzoomer doesn't include tools for cropping or rotating images or removing red-eye. Nor does it provide effects or filters. Instead, it focuses on cleaning up the technical aspects of your photos, providing features for removing JPEG noise and fixing artifacts. You can fine-tune the parameters of each editing tool by using sliders. For example, the Nova Sharpen feature lets you adjust the threshold, the maximum smoothing diameter, and the difference correction of the effect. We appreciate the program's ready-made presets (for instance, one for blurry photos) and its ability to save numerous settings in profiles. Seasoned photographers with an eye for detail likely will find Cleanerzoomer a welcome addition to their arsenal of editing applications.

Publisher's description

From Stratopoint Software :

Cleanerzoomer is an advanced image processing tool designed for reduction of different kinds of noises and artifacts as well as for sharpening and sharp-edge enlargement of images. Its specially developed noise removal algorithm carefully takes away only noise, keeping the image as sharp as it was, while the sharpen algorithm produces very satisfying image enlargement results that are nicely balanced between art-like sharp-edged and more natural look. The noise removal alogrithm does not require training on detail-free areas of the image.
