PMA 2008 Report

ArcSoft, Inc. announced the release of ArcSoft Cut-It-Out at the PMA 2007 Convention. Cut-It-Out is a new plug-in for Adobe Photoshop that allows users to separate objects in digital photos from their backgrounds, creating a mask. The segmentation technology provides a fast and accurate solution for complex object extraction. “Creating pro-level photo editing masks may now be achieved with unprecedented time savings and ease-of-use,” said Michael Downs, ArcSoft Vice President of Marketing and Business Development. “The Cut-It-Out plug-in gives users a preview of our high-end photo editing technology offerings which we will be expanding over the course of the year.”

Similar in functionality to Photoshop’s Extract command, Cut-It-Out offers superior speed and accuracy in selecting object details from image backgrounds. For example, wispy hair or intricate tree leaves are both difficult and time-consuming to isolate with other methods; Cut-It-Out has an easy-to-use interface that provides both quick, excellent precision and options for fine-tuning the object extraction. The plug-in works with Windows versions of Adobe Photoshop 6, 7, 8, and CS, and with Photoshop Elements.

Users interested in using Cut-It-Out with their digital photos may also want to download the free ArcSoft RAW Thumbnail Viewer plug-in. Released earlier this year, the free plug-in allows users to see thumbnails of virtually all RAW photo formats right within the “Thumbnails” view of Windows Explorer – instead of the generic icon that Windows displays by default - enabling people to browse and manage their most important images without having to launch special software. ArcSoft Cut-It-Out is offered for retail purchase for US$99.99.

PMA 2009 - The digital SLR camera market is booming. Compared to last year the DSLR camera sales increased with impressive numbers and it seems the digital SLR camera has become a mass consumer product. New entry level D-SLR cameras with 6 Megapixels surprisingly were welcomed very well by the amateur photographer and it seems that within this segment of the digital camera market the resolution range of 6 - 10 Megapixel fulfils the need of the amateur photographer. Without lenses the digital SLR camera would not be complete and it is for that reason we see a huge number of digital SLR lens introductions appear this year. There are multiple camera manufacturers offering their best own brand solution for its DSLR camera, but there are even more specialized lens manufacturers who offer an impressive number of lens solutions too. Keep your eye on the digital SLR lens section of this PMA 2009 report for the latest introductions!
