RBG | Advanced consulting and software for Photographers
RBG stands for "Roberto Bigano Group" I am a photographer but I also work as a consultant. My main partners in this field are Hasselblad and the Manfrotto Group. In the last two years I gathered a team of talented professionals with the aim of developing software, tutorials and support, in the field of Photography and Digital Imaging. I do think that often many products and software are developed too theoretically and that they are very detached from the photographers' needs.

We RBG members strongly believe in knowledge sharing: it's not only a matter of friendship among us. It's probably the only winning attitude in our contemporary world, where a Group is far more than the sheer sum of its parts. We come from very different backgrounds - amoung us there's a sound engineer, some programmers, photographers, creatives, you name it - yet we share the same passion about images, and we enjoy learning from each other. We've have our own jobs and companies, but we collaborate on several projects, mixing competences and different points of view. And we're having a lot of fun in the process!

Better Digital Camera Magazine:
A Local Contrast Enhancer | By Nick Rains

I use ALCE as part of my main workflow. Very few images will not benefit from a bit of a boost and, remember, what you see on your screen will be much more contrasty than a print. Giving an image a quick once over with ALCE will lift your print quality without a shadow of a doubt.  ***Highly recommended.

Larry Lourcey: New Way To Enhance Contrast

ALCE2 is a deceptively easy tool that enhances the contrast of an image to really give it some punch. Unlike some filters that have hundreds of options and boxes to click – this one is simple: just one slider. You dial in the amount of effect you want and off it goes. Best of all, it records the setting you used – right in the layer name – so you can actually recreate the look later. This was a huge plus for me!
