Auto FX: Auto Eye 2.0
Overview
AutoEye 2.0 was created to automatically improve digital images by rebuilding color detail, sharpness and image vibrancy.
AutoEye uses a totally different set of adjustment methods than Photoshop or other image editing applications. AutoEye does not use standard curves and histograms to adjust images on a global basis within the RGB or CMYK color space. AutoEye's unique methods result in image enhancements that are easier to attain and yield a higher quality result.
To download a Free Trial, the manual, or get discounts, visit the Auto FX site and navigate to Product Details>Auto Eye>Product Details.
Even better — jump directly to Auto FX's Auto Eye 2.0 page for more details, free trials, and discounts.
The Interface
AutoEye Enhancement Controls are easy to learn and quick to use. Complex algorithms and image adjustments are performed behind the scenes so you can stay focused more on the visual and less on technique.
Unlike image editing programs, AutoEye does not make you jump from one dialog menu to another and back again trying to find the right combination and order of adjustments to perfect your image.

Ease of Use
Combining Multiple Adjustments
In Photoshop and other image editing applications you must manually enhance images by working with Levels, Curves, Color Balance, Unsharp Mask, Contrast, Saturation, Adjustment Layers and other controls independently of each other. As you move between these dialogs your image information changes.
AutoEye makes images look brighter and more life-like by combining multiple correction technologies to an image simultaneously so you preview how sharpness, contrast and saturation work together or how adjusting the tonal range of an image will impact the colors.
AutoEye's advanced I.V.I.T technologies work together to sharpen, adjust tonal ranges, colors, saturation, contrast, remove color casts and fix other problems your image may have - all with precision control and automation.
Go to Auto FX's Auto Eye 2.0 page for all the details, discounts through us, free trials, and more.
