Product Description

From the Manufacturer

DiMAGE Master is optional software designed to improve creative workflow for professional and advanced digital camera users. The software’s 3D developed Lookup Table technology for RAW processing enables more accurate color reproduction, and can process any RAW images taken by Konica Minolta digital cameras. Diverse image management operations, such as viewing, classifying, correcting, printing and more, can be performed in the three main operating windows.

Organizer Window
Users can browse images quickly by viewing the instant thumbnail display. Focus checker quickly enlarges a small portion of an image with just a click - just like checking film slides on a light box with a magnifier to confirm focusing results. Images can be classified into four customizable categories with just the click of a button.

Examiner Window
Advanced and unique tools are available for accurate and effective comparisons that help to select the best shot from several images taken under the same shooting conditions. Images can be interactively displayed and examined in detail on the basis of quantitative analysis of exposure, histogram, white balance and focus.

Photofinisher Window
DiMAGE Master software provides a sophisticated platform for image retouching with professional and user-friendly functions in the Photofinisher Window. Each editing screen for white balance adjustment or tone-curve tuning can be opened from the tool menu in the Photofinisher window. The variation palette allows an image to be corrected by comparing it to other slightly corrected images that are automatically displayed surrounding it.

High-quality images
3D Lookup Table (3D-LUT) color conversion technology and the advanced automatic white balance algorithm with precise analysis of image data enable accurate color reproduction. The new DiMAGE Master supports various color spaces and color management using ICC profiles, allowing users to print images as they expected or viewed on PC monitors. It also features the print function that converts color space directly from RAW to printer’s color space for the best performance of printers.

Main features

3D-LUT color conversion
Enables more accurate color reproduction by converting RAW image data precisely in individual color with a newly developed algorithm.

Customizable classification
Image files can be easily organized into four customizable categories just by clicking a button or dragging and dropping.

Focus checker
Enlarges a selected portion of an image to confirm focusing results with just a mouse-click.

Image comparison
Tools are available for comparing images side-by-side and interactively in details on the basis of objective analysis of histogram, white balance, etc.

Color management
The color management system using ICC profiles is built for color matching. For instance, the ICC profile for Konica Minolta inkjet photo paper renders the best color reproduction for use with Konica Minolta inkjet photo paper.

Image correction jobs
Helps to save image correction settings for easy application to other images.

Advanced sharpness correction
Sharpness can be appropriately enhanced by the precise and flexible adjustment of spatial frequency response.

Snapshot
Image corrections can be stored temporarily as a thumbnail next to the displayed image.

Apply processing function
Allows batch processing of multiple corrected images and then saves them at one time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Update to Ver.1.1.0 available on Konica Minolta Website, August 9, 2006

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Konica Minolta DiMAGE Master (Accessory)

I just noticed that the person in the review above returned this product because he needed the later version. Incase anyone else is also having this problem you might be interested to know that the update is available online at the Konica Minolta website under the software section. I have just purchased a copy of this software from eBay and will post a full review once I have had a chance to try it out. From reading another online review this piece of software is meant to be very good if you use the RAW format. (For some reason can't post without a rating on the American Amazon site.)
