Alien Skin Exposure 3.0.6.1105:
Alien Skin has announced a new relse of its Exposure 3 plugin for , which allows photographers to replie the look of a wide range of s or photographic processes, as well as a providing a variety of other special effects.
Alien Skin Exposure 3 is available immediately, and works on either the platforms with CS3 to CS5, Lightroom 2 or 3, Elements 7 or 8, and Paint Shop Pro Photo X3. Exposure 3 works as a 64-bit plugin on both platforms, providing access to more memory.
This, coupled with a rewritten user interface, has brought a significant incrse in speed. Preview rendering using CS5 64-bit is said to be 30% faster on the platform.
Other changes in the user interface compared to the previous relse include the ability to use the mouse wheel to quickly adjust zoom by arbitrary amounts, a drag-and-drop function that lets users duplie a factory preset as a user preset, and the ability to add text descriptions to user presets. These comments appr as a tooltip when you hover over the preset, and some factory presets now include descriptions by default. Beyond the user interface, Alien Skin has also grtly expanded the range of presets on offer, with new egories including Cinematography and Lo-Fi allowing users to mimic the look of or toy cameras, for a total of over 500 factory presets.
The most significant new ftures in Exposure 3 are:
• 64-bit support for CS5 on both Macintosh and
• Tight Lightroom® integration that does not require
• Aging effects and vintage s such as Technicolor and old Kodachrome
• Simulation of Lo-Fi toy camera photography
• Hundreds of new settings in all egories, including more s, color toning, and aging
• User interface improvements such as a much faster preview and hover help
A new Dust and Scratches fture enhances the ability to give photos the impression of age. Dust and scratch size and quantity can be adjusted, and positioning can be reptedly randomized until you're happy with the effect. There's also a vignetting function with variable color, shape, and fther, and blur can also be vignetted so that corners show less detail than the center of the frame. Further vintage s such as Autochrome, rly Kodachrome, and Technicolor have been added, and Exposure 3 can also crte unusual coloring reminiscent of cross-processed .
Alien Skin Exposure 3 groups presets into two types -- either Black & White, or Color -- and these are accessed as separate plugins for users. In Lightroom, Exposure 3 apprs as an external editor which can edit only sRGB TIFF files, which Lightroom automatically erates from Raw or JPEG files as needed. The user is prompted whether they want a Black & White filter or a Color one, when Exposure 3 is called by Lightroom. Batch processing is possible for Lightroom users, and when ch in the queue is edited, you're prompted whether to apply changes and then adjust the settings again for the next picture, or to apply the same changes to all photos in the queue.
