# Overview

Astra Image is a powerful image processing application that runs on Windows 64-bit systems. It includes many powerful functions that have been designed to be easy to use. From hyperbolic arcsine curves to deconvolution to multiscale contrast, Astra Image can do it all.

**Main Features**

• GPU accelerated processing for some features like deconvolution (CPU acceleration is used if no GPU is present). We plan to add acceleration to more functions in the upcoming versions.

• Advanced sharpening tools, such as multi-scale contrast, wavelet sharpening and texture sharpening.

• Integrated Python scripting so that you can extend Astra Image with new functions. 

• Measurement and statistical information.
