Pixcavator PE – Photo Editing – released
It is built on the same platform as the standard – image analysis – version of Pixcavator. The roundness and saliency sliders are removed. The output table is reduced to location and sizes only. The features that the standard version does not have are:
- Automatic simplification – smaller or low contrast objects are removed throughout, in all three channels. This is truly image simplification as finer details disappear.
- Manual simplification – a selected contour is filled with the color surrounding it. In other words, this is spot cleaning (in the example below the mole was removed with a single click - nothing against it though). The feature was available before but not in color.
- Isolating objects – everything but the selected objects is painted white. In other words, this is background removal.
For more examples, see the site.
