The start of the new decade sees the launch of the next generation of Elpical Claro.
Claro V12 is packed with advanced new features and embraces artificial intelligence to deliver an application that redefines image enhancement.
Claro V12 has 3 focal points: ENHANCE, VISION, REMOVE
1. ENHANCE – Making the image look even better, automatically.
Claro delivers a number of powerful new functions and enhanced existing controls.
2. VISION – Direct integration with Google’s Vision AI engine to provide image understanding and specific toning capabilities.
3. REMOVE – Integrate with Remove.bg’s background removal tool to create accurate cutouts and clipping paths/masks in seconds, all inside the Claro workflow.
There’s a huge range of new functionality introduced with V12
New Toning Functions:
- Brand Colours – detection, protection and correction
- Selective Colour Correction – precise colour corrections to specific colours in the image
- Mid Tone contrast control – separate control for contrast in the mid-tones
- New Colour Balance engine – for greater colour cast identification and reduction
- Minimum Edge Dot Creation – introduces a border around the image edge to ensure a defined border
- Advanced highlight contrast controls
- Advanced noise filtering & reduction
- Enhanced Skin Tone recognition engine
- Regular Expressions Utilisation
- OpenJDK support
- Https for client connections and API
Integrating directly with the exceptional technology from Google, Claro is today capable of utilising Vision, the image recognition AI engine.
But it’s for more than just image enhancement – in fact it doesn’t have to do anything like that…
Standardised metadata generation & addition to the image’s IPTC metadata
Vision provides standardised metadata terms, utilise Claro for adding this metadata to an image’s IPTC fields – no more need for hours and hours spent manually adding keywords (not to mention all the non standardised terms)… perfect when ingesting content into a DAM.
For the digital teams
Combining the image optimisation capabilities of the latest Claro and Vision, online images become more powerful for improving search engine rankings and increasing conversion rates.
-
- Image Enhancement – Increased click throughs and conversion rates

The ‘holy grail’ of the PhotoShop department, automated clipping paths and cutouts, is now part of the Claro workflow.
Embracing AI integration even further, Elpical is collaborating with Remove.bg the industry leading background removal software to offer image enhancement and automatic cut outs/masks within the Claro workflow.
Send images directly from Claro to the Remove.bg service and you’ll receive a layered file (or transparent.png) ready for all requirements, print, online and more.
