Photo Editor ++

Photo editor ++  is software that makes it easy and fun to view, organize, edit and share the
digital photos on your PC. Photo editor ++ won't delete your pictures or put them online without
your permission.

photo editing to 3D

In this blog, we extend photo editing to 3D. We describe a system
for interactively editing an image-based scene represented as
a layered collection of depth images, where a pixel encodes both
color and depth. Our system provides the means to change scene
structure, appearance, and illumination via a simple collection of
editing operations, which overcome a number of limitations of 2D
photo editing.

Lightning Design

Lighting design
can be done by painting the effects of new light sources using
semi-transparent layers. However, discounting the existing illumination
is often difficult. Painting “negative” light usually results
in artifacts, especially at shadow boundaries. This affects copypasting
between images with different illumination conditions, relighting



applications and, as mentioned below, clone brushing.

Clonebrushing

Clonebrushing (a.k.a. rubberstamping) is one of the most powerful
tools for the seamless alteration of pictures. It interactively
copiesaregionoftheimageusingabrushinterface. Itisoftenused
to remove undesirable portions of an image, such as blemishes or
distracting objects in the background. The user chooses a source
region of the image and then paints over the destination region using
a brush that copies from the source to the destination region.
However, clone brushing has its limitations when object shape or
perspective causes texture foreshortening: Only parts of the image
with similar orientation and distance can be clone brushed. Artifactsalsoappearwhentheintensityofthetargetandsourceregions

The process involves almost no automation and is
entirely driven by the user. However, because of this absence of
automation, the user has direct access to the image data, both conceptually
and practically. A series of specialized interactive tools
complement one another. Unfortunately, the lack of 3D informationsometimesimposes

In this work, we overcome some of these limitations and introduce
two new tools that take advantage of the 3D information: a new

An Introduction to digital photography

Aperture is a powerful digital photography application designed to help you produce the
best images possible. However, many factors outside of Aperture can affect the quality of
your images. Being mindful of all these factors can help prevent undesirable results.


People take photographs for many different reasons. Some take pictures for scientific
purposes, some shoot to document the world for the media, some make their living
shooting products for advertisements, and others shoot for enjoyment or purely artistic
purposes. Whatever your reason for picking up a camera and framing an image, an
understanding of how cameras work can help you improve the quality of your images.
