    The only set of intelligent noise manipulation tools for film and       $$
$$  digital images has just gotten a whole lot smarter. Aside from          $$
$$  incorporating our second generation noise reduction engine for faster   $$
$$  and sharper results (try it here!), this release focuses on usability   $$
$$  and workflow improvements. The redesigned paned interface allows quick  $$
$$  access to all settings, and includes advanced preview controls for      $$
$$  easy experimentation with different parameters, such as four snapshot   $$
$$  views which store not just images but the settings of all controls.     $$
$$  And of course, favorite settings can be saved to disk and reloaded      $$
$$  in all plug-ins. Add Grain now ships with additional scientifically     $$
$$  measured presets for common film stocks, while the new Sample Grain     $$
$$  plug-in allows for creation and management of custom grain libraries    $$
$$  derived from user-supplied images. Or, if a source image is             $$
$$  immediately available, the new Auto Match Grain plug in allows "one     $$
$$  click" duplication of grain. In addition, we have added professional    $$
$$  features such as CMYK and Lab colorspace support and batch processing   $$
$$  via Photoshop Actions. An extensive (80+ page) printed manual and       $$
$$  tutorials are included to get you up to speed quickly with these        $$
$$  powerful tools. Faster, better, cheaper: redesigned inside and out,     $$
$$  version 2 enhances Grain Surgery's reputation as the premiere           $$
$$      industrial strength grain and noise manipulation suite.
