E-Mail Lucid Technologies, a new UPF spinoff, is to bring to the audiovisual market computer products that will streamline the film postproduction process, automatically improving films' aesthetic appearance. Thus, the company will exploit cutting-edge technologies protected by two international patents developed by the Image Processing for Enhanced Cinematography (IP4EC) research group of the UPF Department of Information and Communication Technologies (DTIC). The company's first product is a computer program that will help film professionals to perform an essential task more quickly and easily in any post-production process of a film. This stage, called technical grade, consists of reviewing the entire recording and fixing whatever is necessary so that the images have a natural appearance to the audience's eyes in terms of lighting, colour and contrast. This process requires many hours of work by specialized professionals.
