AKVIS Enhancer
$69 - AKVIS LLC
AKVIS Enhancer is image enhancement software that detects detail in underexposed, overexposed and mid tone areas of a photo. You can improve detail on a single shot or use the HDRI mode to create an HDR image out of a series of shots.
The tool is extremely useful when a photo lacks detail. For example, when a picture has been taken with the background overexposed, the foreground is hardly discernible (especially annoying when it's a picture of a person.) Or, the background of a picture might be so washed out that you wonder what the scenery was like. If you try to reveal details in highlighted or overshadowed areas using exposure correction (e.g. levels) you run the risk of spoiling the parts of the image that you want unchanged.
The idea of Enhancer is entirely different. AKVIS Enhancer brings out details by intensifying color transition. It means that Enhancer strengthens the difference between adjacent pixels that have different color gradations and therefore reveals not only the details in the shadow but even the details in the overexposed areas and mid-tones.
AKVIS Enhancer is useful not only for correction of family and art photos, but can be effective as well in technical use. Publishers of technical literature can apply Enhancer to show equipment illustrations in detail; doctors can use Enhancer to increase the level of detail on roentgenograms, etc.
The stand-alone version of Enhancer supports HDRI. HDRI (High Dynamic Range Imaging) is a technology that expands the dynamic range of an image and shows details in both shadows and highlights.
The plug-in version of Enhancer supports Photoshop batch processing that allows applying the same settings to a series of images. The plug-in version is compatible with Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Corel (Jasc) Paint Shop Pro, Corel Photo-Paint, Corel Painter, Ulead Photo-Impact, etc.

EnhanceMovie
$39.95 - MOVAVI
EnhanceMovie is a handy, inexpensive, poweful and simple software that automatically cures any digital video from common problems - colors off balance, blurred picture, interlacing video or the "too dark" syndrome, among other things.
The program has two major advantages. The first one comes in the form of multiple auto-filters that automatically "polish" video with one button click. What is important is that program users don't need to know anything about video editing or remastering in order to dramatically improve quality of their digital videos. EnhanceMovie does it all seamlessly, without user intervention.
The second advantage is an option to select a part of the video (interval) that needs to be edited, and apply necessary filters only to that section. In addition to autofilters, the program offers multiple professional filters, such as DeNoise, Auto White Balance, Deblocking (for working with analog videos) and many others.
Plus, EnhanceMovie has several artistic filters that will make home videos look very unusual. These are Mosaic, Posteraise, Grayscale, Invert, and they can be used to make home videos look like an old 30s movie or very futuristic.
Key features:
- Auto Filters: Magic Enhance, Auto Contrast, Auto Saturation, Auto White Balance.
- Effective video filters: Denoise, Deiinterlace, Deblocking, Brightness/Contrast, Sharpen, Blur, Color Temperature, Hue/Saturation, Gamma, Color Balance, Chroma Balance.

- AVI, MPEG, VOB, MP4, MOV, WMV formats supported
- Filters and effects can be applied to specified fragments of video
