Alien Skin Exposure 4.0.0.470 (Mac Os X)

Enjoy all the creative tools of film photography, such as discontinued films, dark room tricks, and lo-fi camera quirks. We accurately simulate classic films, like Kodachrome, Polaroid, and Panatomic-X. The result is a photo that looks like it was made by a human, not a computer. There is careful research under the hood, but we keep the controls simple so you can focus on your art. Exposure 4 has a completely redesigned user interface that helps you quickly develop your own look. Across the board everything is faster and much easier to use.

New Controls and Effects
New controls let you create custom looks quickly and intuitively.
Texture Effects (light leaks, dust and scratches, borders)
New controls let you create Black and White effects more easily (more color channels, B/W Color Filter, Split Toning Control).
New controls let you create custom color effects more easily (more saturation channels, color split toning).
Color infrared film provides psychedelic color shifts.

New Presets
Many presets have been improved and new ones added. Visit our examples page for a sampling of some of the hundreds of presets.
New textures help you recreate historical photographic processes like Cyanotype, Lith printing and Wet Plate Photography.
Lo-Fi toy camera presets are now more realistic using light leaks and organic textures.

What’s Already Great

Realistic Grain
Exposure’s grain is carefully researched and realistic, unlike the digital speckles rendered by other software. Like actual grain, it clumps and is strongest in the midtones. Grain size scales with your image size, just like real photographic enlargement.

Non-Destructive Editing
Exposure supports a non-destructive workflow, making experimentation easy. Effects in Photoshop are rendered on a new layer, leaving your original image untouched. In Photoshop, Exposure can be run as a Smart Filter for easy tweaking of the effect after it is created. Batch processing is supported with actions in Photoshop and through tight integration in Lightroom.

Multithreaded
Exposure takes advantage of multiple processors and multiple cores in order to run fast on modern computers. The more cores, the faster Exposure runs.
