Changes in release R11.0.0 – 31 March 2017

* Claro v11 is able to classify portraits as such, leading to optimised skin tone treatment, noise filtering and changes to the local contrast for highlights algorithm (smoother skin) for those images, leading to better portraits.* Claro v11 offers the option to exclude skin tones from the local contrast for highlights feature. This leads to smoother skin tones and is especially interesting for high quality print processes.* Banding removal in blue skies. In heavily compressed images, and sometimes amplified by noise and sharpening filters, banding may occur. These are especially visible and apparent in blue skies. The new banding removal algorithm detects and removes the banding from the blue skies.* New and improved JPEG compression artifacts detection and removal. Detects and removes various types of JPEG artifacts.* Improved exposure detection and correction. Claro v11 has improved algorithms that better detect and correct under and over exposure.* In Claro v10 a new color filter functionality was added, with the option to exclude neutrals from the color filter. This lead to the possibility to make images warmer in color without affecting the neutrals. Whites and greys remained neutral, while colors were warmer. In v11 we added the options to exclude skin tones and blue skies from the color filter as well.* Claro v11 routing channels have the option to route files based on EXIF metadata. This includes GPS information. Claro allow routing of images if they are taken in a specified radius around a specific GPS location. This allows newsrooms to select images of a certain important event.* New Indesign JobClient (Indesign plugin). The new JobClient allows closing of documents while images are in process.* JobClient as well as the Claro server installation are completely independent of pre-installed Java Runtime Environments* Fill in Box resize option: a specified box size will be filled completely, and if width and height ratio of the image are not equal to the width and height ratio of the specified box size, the image will be cropped.
