'Exposure continues to embrace a more complete creative solution so there is less need for users to jump between programs in order to realize their artistic vision,' said Alien Skin CEO, Finley Lee.

Exposure 7 integrates both color and black-and-white processing so there is no need to switch between tools. Over 470 preset effects can be applied with a single mouse click, helping photographers achieve their desired look quickly. Popular classic films like Kodachrome, Velvia and TRI-X have been carefully analyzed in order to faithfully simulate their characteristic tonal ranges and grain structures. Exposure 7 can also be used as a plug-in for Lightroom and Photoshop for even greater flexibility.Įxposure 7 brings all the creative tools of a traditional photographic darkroom to the world of digital, such as the look of discontinued films, printing techniques, and borders and textures.

New textures and film presets are also introduced.Įxposure 7 is available for download now. Using Exposure 7 in standalone mode now offers crop and rotate tools and file browsing. This iteration introduces non-destructive Raw editing, supporting files from a number of Canon and Nikon cameras as well as a handful of mirrorless models from Fujifilm, Olympus and Sony. If something gets out of hand, you simply have to delete the offending layer and move on.Alien Skin software has announced Exposure 7, a new version of its flagship film emulation software. When you make changes to an image, X2 creates a new layer and leaves the original layer alone. Further to that, images can be saved as Photoshop files with the PSD extensions and various color spaces (sRGB, Adobe RGB, etc.)Īnother feature I must expound upon is Exposure X2’s changes to a Photoshop file are non-destructible. Personally, I find this to be the selling point as a stand alone image editor. Like Photoshop, Exposure X2 has the ability to create layers. In black and white I always go Ilford HP5 400 my stalwart favorite film in the 1970’s. I think Kodak Kodachrome is still my favorite solution for a drab image. I have to admit I found myself opening an image in Exposure X2 to find a solution for an image that was not going my way. I have seen some amazing results by artists and photographers who specialize in this area.

Only recently have I began to appreciate the movement towards replicating analog film. The retro-analog presets are the selling points for Exposure X2. I was able to import my Nikon NEF files and make changes as I would expect from Adobe Bridge, but with the inclusion of the various presets and analog film settings, I feel like this might be a viable if not a creative alternative. It lacks the catalog management of Lightroom, but making adjustments to multiple images is as simple as selecting several images at a time.Īs far as Raw files, Exposure makes for an interesting bridge program and camera firmware simulator. After opening a collection of images, I couldn’t help but make comparisons to Adobe Lightroom. Photoshop has had the benefit of decades to create the accepted icons for its editing tools, whereas Exposure X2 has to be straightforward with labels.įinding the file manager takes a second.

On a large Mac with a 27 inch screen, this is less of an issue. On smaller screens it crowds out the image with oversized menus and file management strips. One of the downsides of Exposure X2 is the small editing window. A bit of hunting around and workflow begins to get the rhythm. A new photographer might find the interface perplexing. Starting Exposure X2 from Launch Pad or from Photoshop, the interface is both familiar but still cluttered.
