what’s new in Exposure 2

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.

We listened to user suggestions and added film stocks like Portra 160NC.

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.

Infrared simulation is vastly improved in Exposure 2.

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.
