Digital Dream Studio V2 is an image-editing software, allowing multiple layers and supporting plug-ins.
It has numerous methods for selection (brushes, flood-fills, spray, shapes, spline curves, color proximity and other advanced methods).
DDS V2 offers over 50 blending modes and it allows the user to create more of his own.
Among the effects that can be applied: textures, blurs, convolution, gradients, text rendering. Also, DDS has a non-linear history (similar to undo feature, but more complex), which allows overlaying the new state of a layer onto its old state, using opacity and blending settings.
Image retouch features include: SUSAN (adaptive filter for noise), Edge Enhance (adaptive sharpening filter) and JPEG Repair (removes artifacts from JPEG).
Four plug-ins are already included in the installation package: Mapping (for distorting images, using several predefined or user-defined mathematical methods), Dynamic Mapping (similar to Liquefy, but with far more options), Fractal (renders various Julia and Mandelbrot fractals) and PDE (Partial Differential Equations are simulated using the RGB channels of an image).
As a conclusion, aside from offering most of the features required in the world of image editing, Digital Dream Studio V2 includes many other new, ingenious, fine-tunable alternatives, especially designed for graphics connoisseurs.
