Algorithms at work, in the blink of an AI.

Viesus intelligently analyzes images and applies only necessary enhancements, rather subtle than exaggerated.

Taking a closer look.

Using AI image processing, the Viesus™ algorithm detects skin, sky, and vegetation for specific image enhancements. The algorithm enhances each part of the image separately, based on the content and conditions. Together with the general image enhancement, the final high-quality result is realistic and satisfying. Every photo is unique and we treat it that way.

Enhancing. Just right.

After analyzing photos, the image enhancement process begins. We don't make anything up or over-exaggerate. We want your photos to reflect reality, not trickery. Viesus improves your images just right.

AI Image Analysis

We trained Viesus™ to analyze the conditions of the photo. Specifically, we analyze subjects like people, sky, vegetation, and the setting (e.g. indoor photo). The analysis determines, for example, the skin tone of the person in the photo. This image analysis is input for the subsequent image enhancement steps of Viesus™.

Razor sharp again with AI Upscaling, AI Face Reconstruction and AI Artifacts Removal

The photo is enlarged to the appropriate resolution using AI Upscaling, AI Face Reconstruction and AI Artifacts Removal. It uses a combination of smart algorithms so that the photo looks razor sharp again. When necessary, Viesus will reconstruct face details so that the enlargement of the photo does not look artificial. When an image is heavily compressed by the JPEG file format, we try to remove the JPEG compression artifacts as much as possible.

Global Corrections

To correct overexposure, underexposure, and color cast on the image globally.

Local Corrections

Applying local corrections where needed, correlating to what the algorithm analyzed in the image. Viesus™ applies local corrections for color, highlights, shadows, and sharpening. This feature allows an automated desaturation of oversaturated faces caused by poor lighting or setting. Viesus™ adjust the skin tone until it looks natural, in correspondence with the whole photo.

Flexibility and control.

You can create different profiles with adjustable parameters so that you can tailor the image enhancement to your own needs. Each destination of the photo may need different image enhancements, e.g. for photo paper, digital print, screen, or canvas. Out of the box, Viesus has a default profile, but in the end, you are in control.

Your photos. With a touch of Viesus.

AI Upscaling

Today, most photos come from smartphones or social media which are often downsized and heavily compressed. All this is now in the past thanks to AI upscaling, which has made printing and displaying those images possible. It's easy to see why this will be a big deal for consumers. It makes their photos look more professional when their shots are in high quality. You can try this feature out in the Viesus Cloud platform now.

Global corrections

The correction of the image, all at once! Global brightness and contrast correction takes care of over- or underexposed photos and ensures the details are not lost. Global color correction controls the color balance and color casts of the whole image. Finally, the sharpness of the entire photo is increased with the global sharpness feature. With all of these features in one easy-to-use software, Viesus is as powerful as any professional photo editing tool.

Local corrections

Local corrections are applied to the images in a precise way thanks to our AI Image Analysis algorithm. Color, highlights, shadows, sharpening, contrast, hue and saturation are corrections that are applied.

Skin tone correction

When people are lit with improper lighting, their skin tones often look oversaturated. Oversaturated skin is unnatural and may hide facial details. Viesus adjusts the skin tone until it's natural-looking and in focus.

Sky and vegetation correction

The sky is mostly over-exposed while vegetation elements look dull. Viesus corrects and brings in the best balance back in the photo.

Color correction

After the color corrections, the photo actually looks like what it was supposed to when you took it. That's thanks to Viesus enhancements that make natural adjustments that bring back the original colors as they should be.

Enhancement parameter values

Viesus comes with the "Default" enhancement parameter values which are the better practices recommended by us.

Depending on the purpose, Viesus can handle different presets with enhancement parameter values to support your dynamic workflow. For example: preset for stronger color enhancement, or preset for canvas printing, etc. - the options are endless and up to you.

The following parameters are available:

Global Corrections for Brightness, Color, Sharpening and Contrast
Local Corrections for Color, Highlights, Shadows and Sharpening
Redeye Correction Mode
Noise Reduction Mode
Noise Addition Mode
Local Skin, Sky and Vegetation Corrections
Skin-Tone Recovery Mode
Adaptive Face Flash Mode
ICC Outprofile Mode
Artifacts Detection and Removal Mode
Face Reconstruction Mode
Super Resolution Mode
DPI Resolution Save Mode
Jpeg Compression Quality
Resize Mode

Artificial Images

Drawings, graphical art, etc.

Specify in Viesus™ what is done with images that are detected as ‘artificial’, that is, manually created images that contain drawings, graphical art, text, or images within colored frames and the like. This feature is useful to avoid disturbing artifacts on images which are not supposed to be modified or enhanced.

Color management

ICC profiles

The vast majority of consumer images today come in sRGB color space. However, some Viesus™ customers prefer to work with specific color spaces such as AdobeRGB, etc. Viesus™ can handle different color spaces defined either as embedded profiles or external ICC profiles.

When no input profile is embedded, Viesus™ assumes the image color space to be:

sRGB for RGB images
ISO Coated v2 300% (ECI) for CMYK images
Dot Gain 15% for grayscale images

As output color space of the enhanced images Viesus™ allows different options

Transform to sRGB
Keep the input color space
Transform to a specific output color space
