Vision provides industry leading accuracy for image understanding. Claro utilises this data to bring truly intelligent, decision based toning and enhancement for all images.

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
    • Image SEO – Filename automatically appended with keywords
    • File size reduction – Thumbs & Full size images resized perfectly for the website
    • File Format selection – optimise website loading times with the correct image format

The ‘holy grail’ of the PhotoShop department, automated clipping paths and cutouts, is now part of the Claro workflow.
