- Photogenics 4
- {p} {p}
- Finally, after four years of hard work the new version of the well-known
- graphic manipulation software Photogenics is available.
- {p} {p}
- Photogenics is a graphics/art package. It allows you to create stunning
- images, either from scratch or by modifying existing images. It can be used
- for a multitude of purposes, from simple file conversion, to advanced photo
- manipulation and re-touching. It also offers extremely realistic and easy to
- use media such as pencils, chalk and watercolours to create stunning
- masterpieces in minutes.
- {p} {p}
- Photogenics is based on innovation. At its core, it works on images unlike any
- other product. Nothing you draw is permanent, it can be rubbed out as easily
- as it was drawn, and tweaked to perfection. This freedom allows you to
- experiment to a level never before seen.
- {p} {p}
- Photogenics Feature List:

- 24bit Alpha channels. Only Photogenics lets you use colour Alpha channels,
- which enable you to independently mask each of the red green and blue
- channels. Paint on the Alpha with red, and this lets the red component show
- through, paint on with yellow, and both the red and green channels are
- updated. Painting with shades of grey produce masking as normal. Create
- awesome effects by loading in a 24bit Alpha channel and using it to mask
- image-processing effects.
