#ALIEN SKIN EXPOSURE X UPDATE#
#ALIEN SKIN EXPOSURE X UPGRADE#
#ALIEN SKIN EXPOSURE X SOFTWARE#

Can be used with Photoshop or Lightroom 3. You can download the demo HERE if you want to try it out. Well, I NOW think Exposure 3 may just beat Silver Efex for B&W conversions! Not 100% yet but I am really digging the speed and the vintage presets AND you get B&W and COLOR film stocks, not just B&W. I used to have Expousre 1 and 2 but gave it up when I started to use Nik Silver Efex Pro. Probably the biggest new feature in Exposure X6 is the Advanced Colour Editor which you will find in the “Color” section of the Photo Editor.Alien Skin Exposure 3 – Rockin’ some new filters!īeen a slow week for camera revciews but I have a Nikon D3100 and D7000 on the way, and a Panasonic GH2 soon so I will be reviewing those VERY VERY Soon! In the meantime…today I downloaded the demo for Alien Skin Exposure 3 and it seems REALLY fast with Photoshop CS5 which I also upgraded to. I suspect with some research and configuration I could avoid this. I tend to use the trackpad on the top surface of my mouse to scroll but I was sometimes too near to a control when using this and it would adjust the control instead. The only criticism I have is that I would sometimes accidentally adjust sliders.

Moving around the interface was also extremely easy and the software had a feeling of being a quality product.

#ALIEN SKIN EXPOSURE X UPDATE#

The software felt snappy and responsive whilst I was using it and there was little if any delay to the screen update when applying adjustments. I’m pleased to say that Exposure X6 not only claims performance improvements, but it appears to deliver on its claims. If the performance is poor you will notice, and the editing experience becomes frustrating. Ultimately, speed drives perception of how the software performs when editing. Speed of processing is difficult to measure and compare with other photo editors, but it remains an important factor when editing.

Which brings me neatly to the first area of improvement in this release. Exposure X6 is now at a stage where (in my opinion) it not only challenges Lightroom in areas like photo library management but beats it when it comes to editing. Over these various upgrades I’ve seen the Exposure software evolve and become more refined.

#ALIEN SKIN EXPOSURE X UPGRADE#

I think I’ve now been through around 8 upgrades and the other day I purchased the latest to upgrade to Exposure X6. In fact, it was from well before the company rebranded itself from Alien Skin and the software to Exposure X.

I’ve been using the Exposure X software for many years.
