Kuuvik Capture 1.0 Released
Kuuvik Digital releases Kuuvik Capture, the world's most advanced tethering and camera remote control application, available at introductory prices starting from $79.99.
- (1888PressRelease) May 24, 2013 - Whether shooting in a studio or in the field, fast and optimal workflow plays a key role in getting the job done. Kuuvik Capture supports photographers' efforts through multiple unique features that boost the efficiency of the image capture process.
Advanced Live View
Taking live view quite a steps further than what cameras and similar applications currently have to offer, the software provides parametric sharpening coupled with adjustable focus peaking - all in real time, applied directly to the camera's live view stream. Combined with full control over lens focusing, taking tack sharp images could not be easier.
Split View
Working on the advanced live view interface, you can select up to three critical image areas and zoom in to review the marked areas side by side in the split view, or check them one by one, switching from one marker to the other with a push of a button.
Image Preview
Kuuvik Capture offers outstanding tools for the evaluation of your captures straight away. A unique raw-image-based histogram completed with over and underexposure warning enables you to properly assess exposure, independently from any JPEG processing settings, such as white balance or contrast, which could otherwise significantly impact and distort the image's histogram. Even if you are on the move and unable to take Kuuvik Capture with you, you can still benefit from the software's ability to program your camera's custom white balance to "unitary white balance", which cancels the effect of white balancing on the histogram.
Exposure Sequence Automation
Intended artistic representation of a scene may require multiple exposures for various reasons. Should you want to extend your image's dynamic range through HDR, shoot multiple images for a time lapse video, or just simply schedule a chain of shots, or even bracketed sequence, Kuuvik Capture will get the job done for you. You can combine Kuuvik Capture's ISO, shutter speed or aperture bracketing with the intervalometer to capture any desired custom sequence. The software tops that all with mirror lock up control (with a customizable automatic release time), and a user friendly interface, providing you with endless possible combinations.
Friendly Interface with Two-Way Camera Communication
Kuuvik Capture was created by working photographers, with the mission of the possible fastest, smoothest and optimal workflow in mind. The easy to understand user interface and the availability of keyboard shortcuts for each of the software's functions will boost your efficiency.
Should you still feel that a certain situation requires you to keep control over the camera's user interface, you can be assured that Kuuvik Capture's two-way camera communication supports changing settings at either ends.
Less Time for Culling and Selection
The session based image capture takes care of separating your final images from those made during the optimization process. This separation information is recorded into industry-standard XMP metadata files that ensures integration with various methods of workflow.
