Bellamax® Pro
Automated image enhancement software for professional labs
Bellamax offers sophisticated, automated image enhancement software that increases efficiency in professional printing labs, portrait companies, online service providers, and professional photographer studios while providing consistent quality across images. The software integrates seamlessly into existing lab workflows and more than pays for itself in color correction labor savings, yield and throughput.
Automatic Enhancement Software
The high-speed image enhancement software makes global enhancements for brightness and density as well as local adjustments to sections recognized as skin, foliage and the environment.
The software has nearly 40 tunable parameters to provide a customized look and consistently good quality images. A user can define multiple "channels" or sets of tunings to accommodate for different types of images. For example, you can accommodate for differences in images based on studio or photographer, content such as weddings or portraits, subject ethnicity, etc.
The software is not limited, like other image enhancement technologies, to global corrections. Bellamax can actually make different adjustments to different parts of an image. For example, we can increase density in the foreground while decreasing density and opening up shadows in the background. This is how we can improve an image in ways that cannot be done manually today with the most popular lab tools.
Scalability
Our independent research shows that the switch from film to digital is tilting the advantage in favor of larger businesses whose cost per piece is lower as it is spread over larger quantities. In fact, it is expected that the number of Pro labs will be reduced by 70% by the year 2010. This research also indicates that to be a survivor, digital image service providers will need to scale their operations and maintain margins while prices are declining. The only way to do this is to scale via automation. With Bellamax, doubling your image processing capacity comes from adding hardware rather than hiring, training and managing people and their associated facility and equipment expenses.
Increase Revenues and Customer Satisfaction
Bellamax’s auto-enhancement can be used to drive revenues for online providers as well as studios. Traditionally images have only been enhanced after purchase. By enhancing all images in the beginning of the sales cycle, either in studio or online, consumers will select more images for purchase than if the images are not enhanced. This gives Bellamax customers an increase in customer satisfaction and perceived higher quality while increasing revenues significantly.
