Plano, TX - February 18, 2005 - Topaz Labs L.L.C. (www.topazlabs.com), specializing in video and image enhancement, announces a new release of its popular video frame capture and enhancement software, Topaz Moment V2.0.

Topaz Moment is a program that captures frames from videos and enhances them resulting in clean and sharp pictures with up to 2.5x resolution increase. The software employs three advanced technologies: (1) super-resolution that creates a higher resolution image from multiple frames of video; (2) advance noise reduction that suppresses frame noise with little loss of details; (3) edge enhancement that sharpens the picture without increased noise or overshooting. Using these unique techniques, Topaz Moment produces images that are the cleanest, sharpest, and highest quality available.
