(openPR) - At NAB 2007 HS-ART releases their moving image retouching tool M.I.R. V1.2 as stand-alone software for Windows and Mac. M.I.R. provides a powerful solution for manual dust busting and any other kind of single image defects retouching issues in a professional environment.

Manual retouching of long image sequences with thousands of images can be a time consuming and tedious task. With M.I.R. HS-ART offers an efficient and easy to learn solution for manual retouching of any kind of single image defects. For example dust spots, bad splices, tears and the like can be fixed with a few clicks.

Using the retouch by clone methodology, M.I.R. only applies existing information to fix moving images by cloning content from other regions and images. The built-in retouch monocle is a useful tool to support cloning by showing target and source in zoom. Adjustable softness and elliptic brushes of any size and shape are allowing a smooth fit into the target. The auto alignment feature automatically matches the target with the source region and hence saves a lot of operator time. In order to play 2K and even higher resolutions in real-time M.I.R. uses micro-loop along with smart caching.

The software has been developed to work in a professional environment (post houses) and does support a large amount of image file formats like DPX, CIN, TIFF, TGA, JPG and many more. M.I.R. is available on Windows and Mac and runs on almost any modern standard PC hardware. A demo version of M.I.R. can be downloaded from our website.

M.I.R. is an easy to learn and affordable image retouching solution with click & fix technology.
