PHOTOSHOP PLUGINS : WINDOWS ONLY : RS
Nik Software Dfine v2.1.0.2
Virtually, all digital cameras inherently create unwanted imperfections known as noise. The amount or type of noise in an image typically depends on the quality and type of imaging sensor with which it was created.
Contrast (Luminance) Noise and Color (Chrominance) Noise can be individually present in an image or might be seen in the same image. Fast or high ISO speeds and low light levels can add noise to images, while some images might exhibit high levels of JPEG artifacts.

ContrastMaster 1.0
Description: ContrastMaster is a plugin for effective contrast enhancement as well as creating dramatic contrast looks, photo realistic paintings and HDR-like effects. It can turn low-contrast photos into vivid and detailed images and transforms ordinary photos into interesting and dynamic shots. ContrastMaster works with dozens of graphics applications including Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop Elements, Photo-Paint, IrfanView and PhotoImpact under Windows. For accelerated rendering it supports hyper threading as well as multiple processors and cores. ContrastMaster works with 8bit and 16bit RGB images.
Overview
ContrastMaster offers three local and four global contrast adjustment methods as well as various masking, saturation and brightness options. The three local adjustment methods allow you to dramatically improve contrast in small image details without blowing out highlights or damaging the image. You can apply these three methods separately or use various options to mix them together for even better results.
The four global methods (S/H-Contrast, Stretch, Equalize and Polarize) work on the tonal range of the image and help to improve the result even further. There is also an option for changing the brightness of the image. The masking options let you conveniently remove the ContrastMaster effect from an image area where you do not want to have it applied, e.g. skin areas, a blue sky or a wall. This can be done with the help of shadow/highlight and color masking options. Additionally, a saturation mask feature lets you improve saturation without over saturating the image.
Works With:
* Adobe Photoshop (Version 3 and higher)
* Adobe Photoshop Elements
* Adobe PhotoDeluxe
* Adobe After Effects (Version 4.1, 5.0 and 5.5, but not animatable)
* Adobe Illustrator (Version 7 and higher)
* Adobe ImageReady (Version 2 and higher)
