Idruna Software, Inc. has ported its Photogenics family of graphics applications to the Microsoft Pocket PC platform. The software has been repackaged with a friendly user interface, specifically designed for the smaller screen size. As a result, Photogenics has an incredible amount of breadth and sophistication for a PDA application.

Photogenics allows the manipulation, retouching, and enhancement of digital photographs without the need for a PC. It offers the ability to draw and paint with realistic media, such as airbrush, chalk, pencil, sponge, watercolor, and smudge. With its Paint-on Image Processing, one can apply over 60 filters not just to the entire image, but to a precise area on the image.

It includes filters for enhancing photos, including auto contrast, auto enhance, remove color cast, remove noise, and remove red eye, as well as full manual control over the hue, saturation, brightness, red, green, blue, and gamma levels.

With its Paint-Layer-Technology, mistakes can be rubbed out without using a "fade out" technique. It allows for real-time modification of color, transparency, image processing mode, and artwork positioning.

It also features Paint-On Pyrotechnics. Lens-flares, fire, and explosion effects can be combined with smear to produce supernovas, waves of fire, and even sunsets or waterfalls.

The application supports having multiple images open at once, multiple layers per image, plus alpha channels and secondary images for both simple and sophisticated image compositting.

The software is available for purchase at Photogenics eStore at a special introductory price of just $49.99. The regular price is $59.99. A trial version of the software can also be downloaded at the Idruna Software Website.
