1.0 WELCOME TO THE DIGITAL GEM Airbrush PROFESSIONAL PLUG-IN SOFTWARE

1.1 DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional Plug-In
The DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional Plug-In gives users a quick and powerful way of smoothing skin 
surfaces without blurring or affecting the detail of important facial features.  The new 
plug-in enables users to achieve meticulous airbrush/retouching effects, automatically, 
without tedious, time-consuming masking and manual softening. The DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional 
Plug-In smoothes surfaces in digital images by reducing harsh shadows and highlights, 
minimizing the imperfections of skin and other surfaces, while fully preserving details 
like hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, and the true character of a subjects face. Several advanced 
control sliders allow users to customize the smoothing effects and intensity amounts at three 
levels of detail: fine, medium, and coarse. 

The DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional Plug-In provides an effective and affordable solution for the 
amateur snap-shooter or the professional portrait photographer to bring out the real beauty 
in their subjects, reducing the distracting imperfections and smoothing unflattering 
highlights/shadows regardless of whether the subjects are older with wrinkles, teens 
with blemishes, or toddlers with already perfect skin. 
 
The DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional Plug-In works with digital image files from any 
source, including film scanners, flatbed scanners, digital cameras, 
CDs and the Internet. It is compatible with Adobe Photoshop and 
other Photoshop plug-in compatible programs and supports both Windows
and Macintosh platforms. It is available as an Internet download and
on a CD.
