It also adds controls for texture enhancement sharpening and film grain options, as well as improvements in speed.

"Make it Better! Cut it Out! Enlarge it! and Frame it! These are the four important tools incorporated in Essentials 2.1 that allow amateur and advanced amateur photographers to quickly, easily correct color, replace backgrounds, enlarge and add the finishing touch of a realistic frame to their digital images without having to spend hours in front of their computer," said Craig Keudell, president of onOne Software. "And with this new version of Essentials comes an entirely new version of the Enlarge it! tool. It is now even easier and faster for users to crop and resize their images to make excellent poster sized prints with no visual loss of detail or sharpness."

onOne Software's Essentials 2.1 for Adobe Photoshop Elements software suite provides users of the popular Photoshop Elements image editing and organizing software with four important plug-in solutions to solve common digital imaging problems. With Essentials for Adobe Photoshop Elements, users can easily correct the color of their photos using technology from PhotoTune, cut out and separate foreground and background objects using Mask Pro, add unique borders and edges around their photos using technology from PhotoFrame and increase the size and resolution of their photos to get larger print sizes by using technology from Genuine Fractals, the industry standard for resizing digital photos.
