NEW features in Claro Premedia 7: InDesign Integration And Advanced Workflow Enhancements
Claro Premedia 7 now features InDesign integration offering very similar functionality to Claro Layout. However, unlike Claro Layout, the image processing is done on the server side and is fully integrated within the Claro Premedia workflow. Publishers and large agencies can now set up their image enhancement from within InDesign. This optimizes the productivity and the use of resources throughout the organization.
Another major workflow enhancement is the customizable Scheduler. The Scheduler processes images in a specific way, depending on the time of day (or night that is). Using the Scheduler, images can be sent to the Claro Inspector for visual side-by-side inspection during the day, while at night they can follow a 100% automatic flow.
Claro 7 also adds gif and png to the possible output formats. By adding indexed colorspace options on the output side, Claro 7 offers improved capability when it comes to supporting popular e-reader devices like the Kindle.

Significant Quality Advances To Claro’s Core Technology
Claro 7 utilizes improvements made in Claro Individual Image Analysis technology which result in a better defined spectrum of specific skin-tone treatments. Claro recognizes skin-tones and treats them differently than other objects in the image to achieve natural looking skin-tones.
This new version of Claro also features a faster and better noise filter. It even identifies and reduces jpeg artifacts.
Other quality improvements include high quality downsampling, reducing donwsampling artifacts and more control over color output by means of curves.
