It's no secret that we are always on the lookout for Power House Photoshop Plug-Ins that earn their keep. Nik Sharpener Pro is one of those plug-ins. This software
is designed to bring images to their maximum sharpness based on their physical characteristics, (size of the original film, quality of your scan, e.g.), and the intended output, (ink
jet, Lambda, printing press, e.g.)
The first image I sharpened using this software was nothing short of spectacular! I wanted to see if I could match the look using Photoshop's unsharp
mask. I couldn't.
I've been using the software for a while now and I'm amazed at what it can do. Every image seems to get just the right amount of sharpening. My images
have never looked so good! This software gets our highest recommendation, $$$$$.

Great New Profiling Software
I just wanted to share my feelings on a great new profiling software. I received the Print Fix Pro Suite and was making printer profiles for my Epson printer in a matter of minutes. Print
FIX PRO lets you adjust profile settings to optimize your print based on where it will be displayed by allowing you to preview and adjust to different ambient lighting. In addition
to standard 8 bit profiles, PrintFIX PRO also supports 16 bit, high resolution profiles providing higher resolution profiles allowing you to faithfully reproduce even the most subtle
elements of your work. The suite also includes the Spyder2 Pro that calibrates the monitor an creates an ICC profile. This software is a must for everyone wanting to Get
great prints that match the monitor. I give it five stars.
