Correct optical aberrations like never before. piccure+ is a new software program capable of correcting optical aberrations that cause a lack of sharpness in your images. piccure+ uses a new method that essentially inverts the optical processes that cause images to look blurry. With the help of piccure+, your equipment can now be upgraded with a mouse click. It is equally useful for users of expensive fast lenses as well as more economic zoom lenses. 

You will often be able to match the sharpness of lenses costing several thousands of dollars with equipment costing a fraction of that amount, and finally get “the crisp” touch with your prime lens wide open. No other solution gives your equipment a similar upgrade.

 

Currently, piccure+ is probably the most advanced tool leveraging the state-of-the-art of the research field of computational photography. Lenses are bound by the laws of optics and lens designers have to strike a difficult balance, trading off conflicting goals such as price, sharpness, speed, and weight of a lens, that can result in suboptimal image quality. By means of computational photography, this can now be overcome. piccure+ helps you when your lens operates at “the edges of it’s design capabilities” and can give you a significant quality improvement. It’s effect will be greatest for large optical aberrations.

FASTER PROCESSING & GPU SUPPORT
Completely redesigned and improved AHCE (adaptive heterogeneous computation engine) rendering engine for a maximum increase in speed (Windows only, Quality+ setting), providing 6x faster processing. Significant overall speed increase even without AHCE: 50–75% faster RAW processing speed; 20–50% reduction in computation times (CPU only, all platforms).

REDESIGNED INTERFACE
Improved and redesigned user interface. 

MORE CAMERAS
New cameras are supported. Fifty-six cameras were added to the list bringing the total to 689 (RAW).
Connector.

MORE CONTROL

Two additional settings for finer adjustment of optical aberrations (five instead of three). Finer adjustment of “Sharpness” (now called “Rendering”) in Quality+. Sharpness setting 10 in version 3 equals a Sharpness setting of 0 in version 2.5 or earlier. There are 10 new “lower and smoother” sharpness settings available with version 3. 

MANY BUGS WERE ELIMINATED
• Full Retina support (Mac OSX).
• Color space bug in Adobe Photoshop® where certain color spaces were not displayed correctly.
• Opening the standalone program caused problems in Mac OSX if the user did not have administrator rights (“Could not create … folder”).
• piccure+ sometimes disappeared (focus lost) in Adobe Lightroom®.
• You can now edit other images in Adobe® Lightroom® while processing an image in piccure+.
