The new Defringe Tool enables easy removal of purple or green fringes

Hasselblad updated Phocus image-processing software for the desktop. Phocus 3.5 introduces a new Defringe Tool for purple or green fringe removal in high contrast transitions, improved contrast and brightness adjustments, plus the addition of Luma Mode to the Curves Tool for better control of luminosity, as well as upgraded processing performance. Luma Mode was added to the Curves Tool, providing the option to control luminosity with less impact on color rendition than the simple RGB curve provides. The software already has a host of beneficial tools, including tethered shooting with camera control, live view functionality, Hasselblad’s Natural Colour Solution, adjustment layers, auto moiré detection, and digital lens correction.

Hasselblad updated Phocus Mobile 2 to version 1.0.1, adding the ability to zoom and to scroll images immediately after they are loaded in the viewer, lens correction for XCD 45P, and various enhancements to the system for a more seamless mobile experience. With Phocus Mobile 2, users can import, edit and rate RAW images and import and rate full quality JPEG images directly on their device. Phocus Mobile 2 also supports full-quality image export, tethered shooting and direct camera control.
