1. What is the KODAK DIGITAL GEM Professional Plug-in?

The KODAK DIGITAL GEM Professional Plug-In software automatically reduces distracting noise and grain found in digital images without excessive softening or blurring of the image detail. The KODAK DIGITAL GEM Professional plug-in is designed for the more advanced user. The professional plug-in contains two unique and powerful algorithms to control and manage noise and grain. Each algorithm is customized for different types of image noise problems. The Coarse/Noise Suppression algorithm works quickly and aggressively on more extreme digital image noise, while the Fine/Grain Suppression algorithm focuses on removing less extreme noise like film grain patterns. The professional plug-in offers a "Noise Preview" that shows the actual noise or grain that will be removed with the current settings. The Noise preview updates dynamically as the settings are adjusted allowing precise control over the final result. The KODAK DIGITAL GEM Professional Plug-In works with 8 or 16 bit digital photographs from any source, including film scanners, flatbed scanners, digital cameras, CDs and the Internet. It is compatible with Adobe Photoshop and other programs that support Photoshop plug-ins and is available on both Windows and Macintosh platforms.
