“Our collaboration with Athentech works out perfectly. No matter what we need, they provide a solution, and quickly. We like working with professionals. They have given us a competitive edge as we’ve expanded throughout Europe and into Asia. We now have better chances for success because of the better image quality we achieve compared to our competitors.
Two benefits of Perfectly Clear: 1) we didn’t have any problems with integration into our workflow – it was a very small effort. 2) The improvements to the images are among the best you can get – perfect exposure, color and detail. Since we’ve been using Perfectly Clear, our digital prints are much closer to a perfect print. We are able to give our customers an ‘Erlebnisgarantie’ – a guarantee of experience – which leads to greater customer satisfactio. “

What our licensees have agreed upon is that Perfectly Clear is very simple and fast to implement
“The PerfectlyClear API is so simple it barely needs documentation. Exactly as it should be! “
- Gerry Beauregard. Muvee
The speed and simplicity belie the power of how Perfectly Clear overcomes the 15 ways a camera distorts photos while the whole time avoiding the distorting pitfalls the traditional photo editing and enhancement software programs commit.
A Perfectly Clear correction delivers superior photos for superior emotional impact, always delivering the three requirements for a perfect picture: Perfect colors, perfect exposure and preservation of the color nuances and details. It achieves this by replacing the correct missing eye function a camera lacks.
And what is most appreciated is that the automatic correction isn’t correcting for just one camera limitation but rather the correction is more properly categorized by the fifteen automatic corrections the multi-patented science delivers.
“The products competing with Perfectly Clear have their genesis in the old film processing world. They simply employ adaptations of the standard contrast and brightness techniques to correct poorly taken photographs (the result being photos lacking in color vibrancy and arbitrary color shifts) while Perfectly Clear addresses the challenges from the viewpoint of digital source (the result being powerful, artifact-free images with real color). That differentiates their solution.
It was the science behind the digital correction in Perfectly Clear that intrigued me. I found its digital correction was very advanced in terms of what I’ve seen. It never manipulates the color reproduction of the file, so the customers are delivered a realistic representation of the photo they took with the camera, something that is seldom the case with other auto correct solutions.
When I was testing it, I did a lot of demonstrations at trade shows and I also did a lot of demonstrations to customers. When we highlighted the differences and the corrections using Perfectly Clear on a broad range of images, the consumers were very impressed.
The Perfectly Clear advantage
was a key part of the sales benefits
when selling the kiosk.
One of many examples of how Perfectly Clear can boost kiosk print orders was when I was dealing with a customer who took a lot of photos on a trip to the United Kingdom. It can be very cloudy there. He was going to dispose of a lot of the images he had on his memory card because he didn’t feel he could do anything with the photos. He didn’t think they were worth printing. We ran them through Perfectly Clear and he was very amazed to see how well it was able to recover the images and actually enhance the background. He was shocked by that. Now it is printable”
