    Perfectly Clear Essentials is the streamlined edition of the Perfectly Clear automatic photo correction software that began at Athentech and is now continued by EyeQ. This package combined the standalone (ST) application with the plug-in for Adobe Lightroom, so Mac photographers could correct photos inside Lightroom or in the separate app. Essentials keeps the core one-click corrections, leaving out some advanced extras found in the Complete edition.

    Key Features

    • One-click automatic correction of exposure, colour and contrast
    • Standalone edition with batch processing for whole folders of photos
    • Plug-in edition that works directly inside Adobe Lightroom
    • Automatic red-eye removal and natural skin tone correction
    • Adjustable presets so the automatic result can be softened or strengthened

    How to Download

    1. Check that your Mac and your Lightroom version match the requirements below.
    2. Use the green Download button on this page to reach the download options for this edition.
    3. Note that Perfectly Clear is now sold by EyeQ through its official website — check there for the current desktop products and trials before buying an old edition elsewhere.

    System Requirements

    This Essentials release was built for the macOS and Lightroom versions current at its time, on Intel Macs. If you run a newer Apple silicon Mac or a current Lightroom release, check EyeQ's current Perfectly Clear products instead, as this older package may not be supported.

    FAQs

    What is the difference between Essentials and Complete?

    Essentials covers the core automatic corrections in a simpler package. Complete added more advanced tools, more presets and wider plug-in support for photographers who wanted the full set.

    Is Perfectly Clear Essentials still sold?

    The Essentials and Complete names belong to the older Athentech-era line-up. EyeQ now sells Perfectly Clear through its own current desktop products, so check the official site for today's editions and trial offers.

    Perfectly Clear Complete is an automatic photo correction program originally developed by Athentech, and now continued by EyeQ as part of the Perfectly Clear family. It analyses each image and applies intelligent corrections — exposure, contrast, colour vibrancy, sharpening, red-eye and skin tones — in a single click. On the Mac it works as a standalone application with batch processing and as a plug-in for Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, making it popular for a fast, consistent first pass over large shoots.

    Key Features

    • One-click automatic corrections for exposure, colour, contrast and sharpness
    • Portrait tools including skin smoothing, eye enhancement and red-eye removal
    • Works standalone with powerful batch processing, or as a Photoshop and Lightroom plug-in
    • Preset system with built-in looks you can adjust and save as your own
    • RAW file support in the standalone edition for a complete workflow

    How to Download

    1. Check the system requirements below and decide whether you want the standalone app, the plug-in, or both.
    2. Get Perfectly Clear from the developer: Download from the official site
    3. Install it, launch it standalone or open it from Photoshop or Lightroom, and run your first batch of photos.

    System Requirements

    Perfectly Clear Complete 3.9 runs on the macOS versions current at its release, on Intel Macs; the plug-ins need a compatible Photoshop or Lightroom. On Apple silicon Macs, check EyeQ's current products instead.

    FAQs

    Who makes Perfectly Clear now?

    The technology began at Athentech and is now developed by EyeQ, which continues Perfectly Clear as desktop products, SDKs and cloud tools under the same name.

    Does it replace manual editing?

    It is best seen as a fast automatic first pass. Every correction can be adjusted with sliders or switched off, so you can accept the automatic result or refine it yourself.

    aText is a text expansion utility for the Mac developed by Tran Ky Nam. It speeds up everyday typing by replacing short abbreviations you define with the full text you actually want: type a few letters and aText inserts a complete email reply, an address, a code snippet or a formatted block of text, in almost any application. For people who write the same phrases all day — support replies, signatures, form text, code — it removes a surprising amount of repetitive typing for a very modest one-time price.

    Key Features

    • Expand typed abbreviations into phrases, paragraphs and formatted text
    • Insert pictures and formatted snippets, not just plain text
    • Advanced snippet fields such as date, time and clipboard placeholders
    • Works across applications, including mail clients, browsers and editors
    • Sync snippets between Macs using iCloud or a shared folder service

    How to Download

    1. Check that your Mac runs a macOS version the current release supports.
    2. Get the trial from the developer: Download from the official site
    3. Install aText, grant it the accessibility permission macOS asks for, and create your first abbreviation.

    System Requirements

    aText is a lightweight native Mac app that runs on a recent version of macOS, on both Intel and Apple silicon Macs. It needs accessibility permission in System Settings so it can watch your typing and insert expansions in other apps.

    FAQs

    Is aText a subscription?

    No. aText is sold as a one-time licence after a free trial period, and the Mac and Windows versions are licensed separately, according to the developer's site.

    How is aText different from macOS text replacement?

    The built-in macOS feature handles simple word swaps. aText goes further with formatted text, images, dynamic fields and organised snippet groups, and it works in more applications.

    This bundle packaged the Adobe Illustrator plugins from Astute Graphics for the Illustrator CC generation — the CC 2015 to CC 2017 era — together with pro texture packs, for Mac-based illustrators and designers. Astute Graphics specialises in tools that make Illustrator faster and more precise: smarter drawing and path editing, automatic clean-up of messy artwork, live effects that remain editable, and better colour control.

    Key Features

    • Professional Astute Graphics plugins built for Adobe Illustrator CC
    • Faster vector drawing, editing and artwork clean-up tools
    • Live effects and styling that stay editable in the document
    • Colour and print-oriented tools for production artwork
    • Pro texture packs for adding surface detail to illustrations

    How to Download

    1. Note that this bundle targets older Illustrator CC releases; for a modern Mac, get the current suite instead.
    2. See what the developer offers today: Download from the official site
    3. Install the current plugins through the Astute Manager, restart Illustrator and sign in to activate your trial or subscription.

    System Requirements

    The original bundle required Adobe Illustrator CC 2015–2017 on a Mac of that period. Current Astute Graphics plugins need a recent version of macOS and a supported modern Illustrator release, and they run on both Intel and Apple silicon Macs — check the official compatibility information for your setup.

    FAQs

    Will this old bundle work in the latest Illustrator?

    Plugins built for Illustrator CC 2015–2017 should not be expected to run in current Illustrator versions. The developer's current subscription suite is the supported route for modern Macs.

    Can I try the current plugins first?

    Yes. Astute Graphics offers a short free trial of the full suite through its official site, with no payment details required, and a few plugins stay free afterwards.

The current line is sold as Astro Panel 2027, version 11.4.0, and it turns Photoshop into a dedicated environment for Milky Way, deep-sky, star trail and landscape images.

    Key Features

    • Dedicated workflows for Milky Way, deep-sky, star trail and night landscape images
    • Luminosity and colour masks plus professional finishing tools inside Photoshop
    • RAW Fusion Engine for calibrating, aligning and stacking multiple frames

    FAQs

    Does Astro Panel work without Photoshop?

    Astro Panel itself is a Photoshop plugin, so Photoshop is required. The same team also develops a standalone application for stacking and editing, sold separately on its site.

    Is it only for deep-sky images?

    No. Alongside deep-sky and Milky Way tools it includes a landscape section for general night and landscape photography, including HDR and focus stacking workflows.

DITs, colourists and finishing artists use it on feature films, episodic television, commercials and music videos where footage arrives in many camera formats and needs to be turned around quickly.

    • End-to-end workflow covering dailies, conform, grading, compositing and finishing
    • Real-time playback and review of high-resolution camera originals in many formats
    • Advanced primary and secondary colour grading with versioning for shots and timelines
