Anthropics Technology, developers of PortraitPro, has released LandscapePro, which it calls "the industry's first intelligent landscape photo editing software." Highlights of the new software include landscape relighting, sky replacement, 3D depth estimation, a depth of field simulator, distance controls, intelligent selection tools and photo-adaptive controls among other powerful features.

"Inspired by the success of Anthropics's PortraitPro software, we are delighted to introduce a new product to help photographers expand their creativity and take landscape retouching to the next level," said Andrew Berend, CEO, Anthropics. "LandscapePro offers an innovative and easy way to create stunning landscape photography and can be used by novices or experienced photographers alike. As its intelligent controls uniquely adapt to the features of each photo, it enables photographers to do incredible things with their outdoor photos simply by using sliders."

HIGHLIGHTS

As the video clip above demonstrates, the editing process is a three-step adventure that requires no special expertise:

  • Label the items in the shot you want to edit.
  • Refine the automatic selection masks for each editable area.
  • Make the edits you want using the software's tools.

The special tools allow you to make some dramatic changes:

  • Landscape relighting. Change light source, temperature, time of day or go from dawn to sunset.
  • Instant sky replacement with presets. The unique sky controls can replace sky, change clouds or cast cloud shadows.
  • Cloud and atmosphere adjustment. Tools to manipulate skies by separately adjusting the clouds and the atmosphere behind them.
