Reallusion Releases FaceFilter Studio

May 2004 -- Reallusion, a leading developer of animation and graphic software, recently announced the release of FaceFilter Studio, a simple and powerful application that allows you to change facial features in any digital photo and apply instant repair to common photo problems.

With FaceFilter Studio’s unique facial improvement technology, anyone can enhance expressions, reduce oily gloss, neutralize heavy shadow, remove facial blemishes, wrinkles and red-eye, enhance skin tone and automatically correct color in digital photos. The image editing tools of FaceFilter Studio are so complete, you can even use a “digital brush” to remove unwanted pounds from those you photograph. FaceFilter Studio also provides a greater degree of improvements to today’s higher resolution digital cameras, supporting images up to 12 mega pixels in resolution.

FaceFilter Studio also offers automatic sensing of a subject’s facial features, removing the need of “fitting” the facial feature. FaceFilter Studio is perfect for individual images as well as group photos, allowing similar enhancements or corrections to be applied to multiple subjects from a clipboard. Improvements to your digital images now take only minutes and give you professional results every time.

The FaceFilter Studio process begins with a user importing any digital picture (JPEG, BMP or GIF format) and selecting a face to enhance. The automatic fitting process allows users to refine the placement of the digital mask. Now, the user can make a number of corrections such as gloss reduction and blemish removal. Next, expressions can be enhanced with one of 27 expression templates and physical features can be manually adjusted with 16 muscle control “sliders” to achieve more subtle expression changes. Preview and comparison modes serve as references and help assure optimal results. Final results can be saved in JPEG, BMP or GIF formats or can be directly pasted back to third party image editors.

“The simplicity and results of FaceFilter Studio are absolutely amazing,” stated Charles Chen, Reallusion’s President and CEO. “Just the simplicity to seamlessly enhance expressions in group photos makes FaceFilter Studio worth the price, but the ability to remove facial blemishes, wrinkles, gloss and shadow with professional looking results puts FaceFilter Studio in a league all its own.”

FaceFilter Studio is priced at $59.95 and is available for purchase via electronic download at www.reallusion.com/purchase_ff.asp. For more information regarding this latest release, users can visit www.facefilter.com or contact Reallusion by phone at (408) 350-1693.
