DescriptionEffectopia is a simple picture converter designed to make it easier to publish pictures taken with a digital camera. Basically, you load some pictures in the program, you set some options which define how your pictures should look on your website, and click the "Process" button. The input pictures may have various formats, but the output picture format is JPEG. The brightness normalization method is the "Balanced scaling" brightness normalization method which is used in Wallperizer. This is a slow process! For more features read History of changes.
Brightness normalization What can brightness normalization really do? Here are two pictures, the first is the original, the other is normalized to 50:
The result is impressive in both satisfied expectations and image quality preservation. As you can see, even though the first picture is the original, it actually appears "fake", while the normalized one appears as if it was taken in natural light (which in fact is true, but there wasn't really enough light for the camera to make the picture truly look like that).
