What Can Perfectly Clear Do?
The corrections that make every photo Perfectly Clear… since 2001
Automatic intelligent photo correction
Businesses love the way our corrections perfect photos automatically— but you’re in control of which corrections you run and how.
You can use one of our presets for automatic color correction, or you can create your own custom look from these individual corrections.
Perfectly Clear Core Corrections
Start with our Perfectly Clear Core Corrections to fix any issues your photo might have from under exposure to noise reduction in images to photo color correction. Due to the physical hardware limitations of cameras (single lens, small sensors, and more), our cameras don’t capture an image exactly the way we saw it. Our Core Corrections detect what’s wrong and fix it automatically!
Before
Single aperture camera has a single focus and setting for ISO and Exposure for entire image.
After
Each pixel has its own "camera", so you get an image with 12 Million* aperture and ISO settings.
Perfect Exposure
Due to the single aperture and wide dynamic range, underexposure and overexposure frequently occurs. What sets Perfectly Clear apart from the rest is our real color correction that corrects every pixel independently like it was taken by it’s own aperture. No clipping or color distortion occur, meaning we brighten the image without losing any precious details.

Traditional approach searches for black, and clips RGB values, creating color distortion. Sometimes it applies same saturation adjustments to every pixel.
After
We look at each Channel for Each Pixel individually and adjust each according to how the eye adjusts saturation for different parts of image
Image Color Correction & Restoration
Due to the linear nature of digital cameras, photos often are lacking in color vibrancy like a newspaper that's been sitting out in the sun. We automatically detect this and bring back the vibrant colors you saw with your eye. Sometimes image restoration tools apply the same saturation adjustments to every pixel which results in a color balance that looks off. Our image color correction is intelligent. Rather than applying the same color correction over the entire photo, we look at each pixel individually and adjust it accordingly. The result is photo color correction that mimics how the human eye would see it. With our batch image color correction, you’ll have perfect photos that look just like real life.

Most algorithms destroy shallow DOF and makes image “flat and hard”.
After
We only strengthen the strong signals after analyses of image. Soft focus areas remain soft.
Sharpening
Most sharpening algorithms make images look flat and hard. Our picture enhancement technology only strengthens the strong signals after the analyses of each image. Soft focus areas remain soft, and we add more depth to images with landscape backgrounds. Our sharpening is also optimized for print, so a different amount of sharpening will be applied on screen versus what is printed for a more accurate result.

Applying the right contrast settings creates depth; makes a 2D image appear 3D.
Depth & Super Contrast
Make your photos really pop! Perfectly Clear’s Super Contrast technology brings your photos back to life. Applying the right contrast settings creates depth, making a 2D image appear 3D. This is different than traditional contrast because it separates the foreground from the background, making the subject appear ready to pop off the page.

The challenge of white balance: Asking the camera to determine source of photo -
Warm, cold, etc? Difficult for camera to do because light is from multiple sources
After
Perfectly Clear® uses new concept of black body radiation
Abnormal Tint
We can fix abnormal tint and we can automatically detect if there is a tint issue. We also make sure that our tint correction keeps the whites white, so if you are photographing something like a wedding dress, it will make the right photo color correction.

Before
Cameras capture infrared. But human eyes do not.
After
Perfectly Clear will not wash out red lips (or lipstick) or dresses and also applies to all skin, not just face. Great for selfie camera correction.
Infrared
Unfortunately, cameras capture infrared whereas as eyes don’t. This often results in faces and skin appearing red. Our photo quality enhancement technology fixes those red tones on skin without washing out any other red in the image such as bold lipstick or clothing

Beautify Corrections
It’s a proven fact that people are drawn to photos that they look best in. With innovative features like Beautify, Perfectly Clear makes it easy to look your best. We don’t distort anything, rather we just highlight the beauty that was always there.

Auto Redeye Removal
Goodbye, redeye!
Catchlight
No catchlight? No problem. We can add a catchlight reflection to the eyes.
Eye Enhance
Eye Enhance brightens and sharpens eyes without distorting any other aspects of the photo, helping to bring the portrait to life.
Dark Circle Removal
Automatically remove dark circles under the eyes. Look more rested automatically!
Perfect Face
Face Slimming
If a photo has been taken with a wide angle lens, there often is distortion to the face. The Face Contouring slider can fix that! Additionally, you can use this for those times when a slimmer looking face is desired.
Teeth Whitening
The teeth whitening option automatically finds teeth in the photo and brightens them, saving a trip to the dentist.. You can decide how much teeth whitening the subject will get, so it will always look natural.
Blush
Warm the cheeks with some blush. There are 12 different colors to choose from, so there’s a shade for every skin tone.
Lip Sharpening
Add extra detail to your subject’s lips!
Creative Enhancement Corrections
Our Core Corrections focus on the necessary corrections to any photo, but the Creative Enhancements allow you to apply your creativity and take it to the next level. These photo enhancements give you even more control over your image, and you have the option to get a little more inventive with the image!
LOOKs
LOOKs, based on 3D LUTs (also known as Lookup Tables), offer an intelligent filter for your photos. These are more than just your usual preset— our LOOKs remap the colors and tone of your images. Some of our looks include:
BW Film Stocks
Our BW Film Stock LOOKs were created to mimic the different types of black and white film.
Color Film Stocks
Our Color Film Stock LOOKs were created to mimic the different types of color film.
Color Grades
Color Grades are a fun way to play with color.
Foliage & Sky Enhance
Make your skies and foliage pop! These photo color corrections were designed to target the sky and foliage in a photo and give them a boost. Sky Enhance can be used in any photo— there are settings for blue skies, sunsets, and nighttime. Foliage Enhance makes greens and browns stand out. Each can be adjusted to the strength of your liking!

Finishing Tools
If you’re looking for more manual photo corrections, our Finishing Tools are for you. Here, you’ll find the usual manual controls such as tint, contrast, saturation, and more. These are great to add to your own workflow, or we can build them into your products for your customers to use.
Supporting and Enabling Technology to make your products smarter
We’re always innovating and improving our automatic photo enhancement technology. Not only does Perfectly Clear automatically edit photos, we are continuously adding new features that revolutionize the photo editing world
Face Detection
We’ll locate each face and detect if the subject is blinking or smiling. We use this for our auto head sizing technology, Face Aware Exposure, and much more. You can license this technology to provide face coordinates for your use. You can also flag images in a product if the subject isn’t smiling or has their eyes closed.

Batch Image Resizing and Upscaling
This technology can make small images larger and large images smaller without damaging them.
If you need to resize an image larger, you’ll lose pixels. The image will look blurry, and the customer will be unhappy. We added image resizing to our tech stack that creates more pixels to fill in the empty spots, resulting in a less blurry image.
This batch image resizing feature is especially important for labs; many consumers will upload images directly from social media that are very small in size. Our image quality increaser will keep your customers happy, and you’ll have a lot less reprints and a better ordering experience because there is no need to caution the user about printing the photo.

Background Balancing
One of the most difficult parts about a yearbook shoot is that you need all the backgrounds to look similar so they create a cohesive look as you flip through the pages. This can be achieved by expensive green screens or outsourcing the editing overseas. With the Background Balancing feature, all backgrounds can be “balanced” for just 10 cents an image!
Auto Head Crop & Centering
We created Auto Crop to help automatically crop portraits according to your parameters, resulting in consistent head sizes. This is extremely beneficial to school and sports photographers, especially yearbook creation. This results in yearbook pages with consistent head sizes and eyelines.
PDF Support
QuickDesk and our SDK support PDFs. PDFs must be unflattened. If you have any questions or would like to take advantage of this function, please contact us today!
We are also working on Flattened File Image Correction to be able to correct images in flattened files, including PDFs. We are in phase 1 of this project and have testing available. If you are interested, please contact us!
In summary, AI Scene Detection identifies the scene or lighting condition of the image, then applies a preset that was designed specifically for each type of image. By processing over 50.5 billion photos per year, we’ve been able to identify common themes and build an AI platform to leverage all this amassed intelligence.
