It’s hard to explain exactly what Perfectly Clear does to your shots but the best way I can describe it is it removes an ugly gray cast you may never have known was there in the first place.
I’ve been trying the plug-in out for the last few months and like what I’ve seen. (You can apply Perfectly Clear to any layer you want in Photoshop.) In October 2010, Athentech launched Version 1.5, which is compatible with Macs and CS5, and now supports layers.

(I jest they’re sticklers at this Canada-based software company and I’m sure they’ve been hard at work.) Perfectly Clear has been available for some time for photo labs and, more recently, as an app for Apple’s iPhone and iPad, but Athentech seemed to be taking it’s own sweet time with the Photoshop plug-in. This past PPE show in New York City, I got the good word at last. (Sorry but Auto Levels in PS and whatever else is out there just hasn’t cut it for me.)įor a number of years now, I’ve been paying visits to the Athentech booth at PhotoPlus Expo wondering when the company was going to finally release its much-previewed Perfectly Clear plug-in for Photoshop on the Mac. I’ve long searched for a professional-level quick fix adjustment tool for Photoshop that will do the heavy lifting for me.
Who has the time? I enjoy doing an Adobe deep dive on my images as much as anyone, but if you’ve got hundreds of pictures to review and adjust and a looming 5 o’clock deadline that Photoshop toolbox can become your enemy in a hurry. Let’s face it: editing photos in Photoshop is a pain in the ass.
