As I worked with it I found it to be a very valuable tool for anyone looking to improve the quality of image files. The major selling points of Perfectly Clear are that it is very easy to use, has little or no learning curve, does batch processing, works with a variety of formats, and offers very fast processing.

When you open an image in the program and let it do its thing it “looks at” exposure, color vibrancy, noise removal, tint removal, contrast, sharpening, skin tone, light diffusion, redeye removal, color fidelity, and more. You can see the rather dramatic difference the Landscapes preset made in this flower image, adding a great deal of color and contrast to the original. With that in mind let’s delve a little deeper here to see if Perfectly Clear can make good on that one-click promise.

There’s also a stand-alone version ($199), which I tested for this report.
