Product Description:
Lobster is not strictly a plugin but a Photoshop tool that creates four new layers from your file: Luminosity ( a very specific type of tonality or brightness) and Red, Green & Blue Chromaticity layers (containing Hue and Saturation in each layer). These separate layers offer you unprecedented control and power over your RGB files.
Lobster makes many dialogue boxes, tools and histograms more accurate. If you have not previously understood the feedback that you were getting from Levels and Curves - with Lobster you will understand why - and now these most essential dialogue boxes will become ACCURATE and MUCH more powerful. If Dodging and Burning changed your colours as well as your tone - this will now cease. If Sharpening created unpleasant digital artefacts these will be easily reduced.
If you are an artist or photographer, Lobster provides accuracy, control and new tools for creativity. If you are a curator, an archivist, or are working in medical/scientific image preparation and analysis, Lobster will become an essential part of your toolkit to ensure accuracy and avoid misleading changes to digital images.

Actually, we got rid of the red box... - Version: 1.04, 9/30/2004 06:55AM PST

The demo version just resizes to 600px wide and pops up a reminder window.

In case anyone is confused: the download you get when clicking 'Download Now' is a DEMO version.
LobsterDemo will perform exactly as Lobster does, except that it will also:
- reduce your image to 600px wide
- put a red box on the top right hand side and
- show a floating window each time you run the demo.
Hopefully it will otherwise clearly demostrate the functionality and accuracy of Lobster.
We welcome your feedback - this is the first product of it's kind we have released and we really want to make it great! Suggestions, criticism, advice is all appreciated.

Hi, thanks for all the feedback. We are looking at our options for a demo version. The problem is how best to show you what Lobster can do without effectively giving it away, as the application itself is VERY simple - it is a droplet, after all.
Please do look at the example on the site - if more would be helpful, let me know. Feel free to send me a small image to convert for you too, if you like!
