CWT (Complex wavelets)
DCT (Discrete cosine)
NLM (Non Local Means)
Non-linear (anisotropic) diffusion (Curvature & Gradient)
Support of 8/16 bits images.
Support of Photoshop actions/batch
Support use as Smart filter
Versions for 32 and 64 bit plugin hosts
Mac and Windows versions
Compatible with Paint Shop Pro, The Gimp, IrfanView, XnView, ...
CHANGELOG:
v 4.2.0 28-Feb-2012
