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).

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.

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.
Huge Range of Effects
The best way to see what Exposure can do is to check out our examples, videos, and try it yourself for free. For a quick overview, here are some of the techniques of film photography that Exposure handles. These are just the tip of the iceberg.
