Helicon Filter - Overview

Overview

Helicon Filter, formally Helicon NoiseFilter, was introduced in August, 2004 as Helicon Filter 1.61, by Helicon Soft, Ltd., a company based in Kharkov, Ukraine. By 2005, Helicon Filter had become known for its noise reduction ability, though it also had some other basic features such as RAW support, exposure correction, color adjustments, red eye removal, and resizing/cropping. More recent versions of the program have yielded more advanced features also found in Photoshop CS including cloning, selective color editing, and HDR imaging, though Helicon Filter still lacks other features found in Photoshop such as layer support, full selective editing abilities, and the ability to create graphics. The program runs in English, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Dutch and Italian.
