What nEO iMAGING is
nEO iMAGING is paid Windows desktop software for photography post-processing, quick edits, batch work, and photo printing. It supports RAW files from camera models associated with Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Minolta, Sigma, Fuji, and Olympus. Batch tools can run automatic actions, rename files using EXIF information, and apply watermarks in transparent or semi-transparent PSD, PNG, and GIF formats. Effects include positive-film simulation, high-ISO noise reduction, decorative and torn-edge frames, and soft-focus simulation. Portrait beautification combines skin smoothing with soft focus while retaining details such as eyes and hair. The software can combine photos using preset layouts such as 2×2 and 3×3, and includes cutout and background-removal tools integrated with cropping. Registration is listed at $24.99 a month for buyers outside Canada, with one system per license; a free version is also listed.
