Elpical announces the release of Elpical Claro Layout, available to anyone who works with Adobe InDesign. Claro Layout, the latest addition to Elpical’s product line of automated image enhancement and image management solutions, is an Adobe InDesign plug-in offering built-in, automated quality analysis and image enhancement to InDesign users.

With Claro Layout, print and publishing professionals working with Adobe InDesign now get access to Elpical’s technology for optimizing images inside their documents, without leaving the InDesign application environment.

Claro Layout is available in the Americas immediately through Tools4Media. A trial version of Claro Layout can be downloaded at http://www.elpical.com/products/claro-layout.

Allows focus on creative
Claro Layout allows InDesign users to focus on the creative work and the layout of a document without having to worry about image quality first. They can simply use the RGB image for designing the document and only when the layout is ready, use Claro Layout to optimize and convert the images to CMYK, without leaving InDesign.

Claro Layout, which uses Elpical’s advanced Individual Image Analysis, first automatically and individually analyzes each image and then enhances each image inside the InDesign document according to its particular requirements, as well as applies the desired crop, resolution and color space. This allows the image to be optimized directly in the desired size, offering great flexibility in layout and timesavings.
