![]() ![]() The amount of control, at hand, is staggering, and one can easily finish editing a picture within Exposure itself. For those who wish to take charge, the right-hand side column allows you to tweak the effect further. No software-related terms, all descriptions relate to photography and one can just click on each effect and preview what it looks like. If photo editing intimidates you, all you need to do is to look at the left column of the software. In fact, with most processes and prominent films being listed, the entire interface almost seems like a ‘History of Photography’ timeline! Cyanotypes, lith printing and wet plate photography are some of the vintage processes that one can simulate. While going retro, the company seems to have travelled further back in time, this occasion. ![]() ![]() But then, considering that every app nowadays seems to perform the same tricks, I was interested to see what the film-simulation software, Alien Skin Exposure 4, can manage. The guys at Alien Skin actually realised this a long time ago. From gramophones to camera designs and even Instagram-style effects, all of us seem to live in the past. In a world that is increasingly going modern, the desire to hold on to time, has suddenly become more relevant. Have you ever travelled through time? Now, I am guessing that most Better Photography readers are not time-machine inventors, but as photographers, the idea of capturing time is something that has fascinated each one of us.

It also allows you to select matching images and show EXIF data by hovering over images. On the management side of things, Exposure X2 lets you set metadata, such as ratings and flags. Another feature that I found brilliant is the healing brush, which allows you to adjust healing areas after the fact, by dragging them around. The latter provide rich platinum tones with border overlays that simulate a brushed look to strengthen the illusion. While most comparable apps let you export several images at once, Exposure X2 lets you actually process them by just selecting them and start adjusting.Įxposure X2 has lots of presets, and with this update it gains a new set of bright and vintage presets. More importantly, I applied those layered effects on multiple images simultaneously, all without incurring even the most minor speed drop on my mid-2011 iMac. The new advanced layering lets you finish a retouching job much faster for example, I could first apply a preset that I tuned down by lowering the intensity and adding several one-effect-per-layer adjustments. ![]()
