Pictographics Announces New OEM
Partner, Gary Fong, Inc.
BullZeye™ High-Speed Color
Corrector is introduced by world renowned photographer Gary Fong based
on Pictographics' CandelaColor® EditLab Technology
December 1, 2003-Burnsville, MN, USA,
Pictographics International Corporation has partnered with the world
renowned professional photographer Gary Fong to create the BullZeye™
High-Speed Color Corrector. BullZeye is a stand-alone color correction
software that inspects, selects, and corrects digital pictures in a
single step. With just one simple utility, professional photographers
can produce lab-accurate color images with remarkable precision.
BullZeye is available for both Windows and Macintosh computers,
including OSX, and includes Gary Fong's BullZeye Tutorial. BullZeye is
available at Gary Fong's web site at www.garyfong.com.
Developed in collaboration with Gary Fong, BullZeye High Speed Color
Corrector eliminates many tedious repetitive tasks usually found while
working in Photoshop with a plug-in. With BullZeye, there is no need for
Photoshop or complex calibration devices, since it performs color
correction by sampling multiple areas of neutral color saturation found
in the grey, white or black areas of a color image. Once it corrects the
offending color cast in the neutral areas, the rest of the image looks
perfect. And, because the monitor and subjective color opinion never
enters this workflow, the user will have accurate images without
expensive monitor calibration devices.
"As the founder of one of the nation's largest digital photo lab
operations (Pictage, Inc), as well as a busy professional photographer,
I needed something that could get past the subjectivity of color balance
and accurately nail down color with complete precision. Pictographics
technology is the best available anywhere... their approach is
brilliant", says Gary Fong. He goes on to say, "As we're now
processing thousands of images per week, it was a welcome collaboration
to develop BullZeye. BullZeye is an application that inspects, selects
and corrects all in one viewing step, and keeps the original images
safe. Whether you are a beginner or serious imaging professional,
BullZeye saves you an immense amount of time and ensures optimum image
quality."
BullZeye is a customized version of Pictographics award winning iCorrect
EditLab color correction and editing software and is designed
specifically for the high speed color correction requirements of
professional photographers. Wayne Huelskoetter, Pictographics President,
said, "Gary Fong is among the first to participate in Pictographics
new Technology Licensing, OEM, and Private Label Program whereby

correction software product."
