Exposure Description

Correct a colorcast, soften a digital portrait, or tweak contrast with its powerful slider and curve controls Exposure brings the look and feel of film to digital photography. Simulate the warmth and softness of real world film, both color and black and white. Reproduce realistic film grain, and simplify your digital photography workflow. You can now digitally simulate the vivid colors of Velvia, the rich blacks of Kodachrome, the sensitivity of Ektachrome, and the characteristics of dozens of other film stocks. Exposure also models the size, shape, and color of real world film grain. Use this level of subtle reproduction to simulate the distinct looks of films such as Ilford 3200 Delta and long discontinued Ektachrome EES and GAF 500. Exposure will simplify user's workflow by collecting color, softness, dynamic range and grain control with its slider and curve controls.

When enabled, this feature shows the original image in half of the preview.

Clicking Cancel closes the filter window without applying the effect. · Mouseover Help (G): Whenever you move your cursor over a user interface element, a short description appears in the bottom left corner of the window. · Preview Area (H): Preview the effect on your image here.

Requirements: · 1 GHz PowerPC G4 processor · 256 MB RAM · Adobe Photoshop CS2 9.0.2 · Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0.1 or later · Macromedia Fireworks CS3* Limitations: · 30 days trial What's New in This Release: More film stock settings: · We doubled the number of settings, adding a bunch of color print films, various Polaroid looks, hard-to-find and discontinued film stocks. We even saved a few from extinction in Exposure 2. In sheer quantity of styles, not to mention quality of reproduction, no other software comes close to the sophistication and power of Exposure 2. The most realistic grain on the market: · Exposure 2 simulates the size, shape, and color of real film grain and then applies the variations separately to shadows, mid-tones, and highlights. It also automatically adjusts grain size to image size for consistent results across cameras and resolutions. More than 300 presets: · Exposure 2 offers more than 300 presets for film simulation and special effects. Use any of these presets for a look or take them and tweak them for a specialized custom look. More effective effects: · Exposure 2’s special effects give users even more control of photo adjustments that were in the past thought of as film lab and darkroom technique. Exposure 2 features push and cross processing, vastly improved infrared simulation, sophisticated black and white conversion, color shifting and fading, and lots, lots more. Easier to use: · When Exposure 1 users suggested interface improvements and enhancements to simplify workflow, we listened and responded. Settings are now organized into groups, the preview is zoomed out to fit the image to your screen like Photoshop, and the last setting used is remembered and highlighted. Performance enhancements: · Exposure 2 is multithreaded for a noticeable speed boost on multiprocessor or multi-core systems. It’s also a Universal Macintosh? application, so it runs native and fast on Intel processors. Technical goodies: · When run for the first time, Exposure 2 automatically upgrades and copies all custom settings from Exposure 1. And because Exposure 2 is compatible with CS3 Smart Filters, effects can all be applied nondestructively.
