color and appearance are among the first parameters perceived by consumers to judge the quality of foods. l*a*b* are used to report foods’ colors quantitatively. in this study the use of digital imaging and photoshop software was evaluated for measurement of l*, a* and b* color parameters. the results showed that l*, a*, and b* values from hunter colorimeter and the digital imaging method had a...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this review is to describe the use of several essential techniques and tools in Adobe Photoshop image-editing software. The techniques shown expand on those previously described in the radiologic literature. CONCLUSION Radiologists, especially those with minimal experience with image-editing software, can quickly apply a few essential Photoshop tools to minimize the f...

PURPOSE To describe a novel method for quantitative measurement of area parameters in ocular anterior segment ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) images using Photoshop software and to assess its intraobserver and interobserver reproducibility. METHODS Twenty healthy volunteers with wide angles and twenty patients with narrow or closed angles were consecutively recruited. UBM images were obtained ...

OBJECTIVE This study has two aims: 1) to evaluate the apical transportation of the Wizard CD Plus and ProTaper Universal after preparation of simulated root canals; 2) to compare, with Adobe Photoshop, the ability of a new software (Regeemy) in superposing and subtracting images. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty five simulated root canals in acrylic-resin blocks (with 20º curvature) underwent cone...

OBJECTIVE To describe a highly quantitative facial function-measuring tool that yields accurate, objective measures of facial position in significantly less time than existing methods. METHODS Facial Assessment by Computer Evaluation (FACE) software was designed for facial analysis. Outputs report the static facial landmark positions and dynamic facial movements relevant in facial reanimation...

PURPOSE To compare breast measurements performed using the software packages ImageTool(r), AutoCAD(r) and Adobe Photoshop(r) with direct anthropometric measurements. METHODS Points were marked on the breasts and arms of 40 volunteer women aged between 18 and 60 years. When connecting the points, seven linear segments and one angular measurement on each half of the body, and one medial segment...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to test and compare the efficacy of software developed recently for digital subtraction radiography (DSR) in vivo. METHODS An algorithm performing both manual and automated image reconstructions and contrast correction was developed for the manipulation of radiographic images. Pre- and post-operative radiographic images of ten patients were obtained and th...
