Retouching & drawing tool
An extremely powerful tool with free shape, size, gradation, and effect. Can be combined with every image processing function. For all needs of retouching and drawing. Controllable with a pressure-sensitive graphics tablet.

Image layers, compositions
Superimposition, mixing, and compositing images each having its own compositing mode. Full control of the transparency channel.

Powerful selection
Concurrent selection of multiple areas by rectangles, polygons, Bezier curves and/or color ranges and/or edges with variable thickness. Magic wand with three tolerance parameters for automatic selection and object isolation.

Database, palettes
Naming and storing of arbitrary image processing functions, scripts, selections, drawing tools, and palettes in a database. Intuitive and fast access through custom icon palettes.

Scripts, batch processing, image extraction
Application of lists of database entries for automatic processing of any number of images. Fast processing of very large images by working on an automatically generated low resolution image and consecutive application of a script on the original high resolution image.

State-of-the-art separation
ComposeInColor comes with SpectreSeps CICby Pre-Press Technologies for color separation and color correction. Full control over all separation and printing process parameters. Defaults for paper and press types, scanners etc.
