Exposure X4 is a solid update that shores up some areas that needed attention and builds on a photo editor that already stands apart in interesting ways. And most important, Alien Skin improved the performance in areas that make a difference. Upgrade pricing for earlier versions of Exposure is also available, and you can try the software for free during a day trial. Photographers who want sophisticated editing and organization without a subscription or a central-library structure.
I really miss the days of the competitive upgrade. It was a saving for us, and got us in your customer base and upgrade path. Plus adds potential to better sell your other products.
It does look great, but as others have said, will wait until there's a discount offer from somewhere. I used to work with UI design and this is lacking. Sharpness, contrast, NR, and Detail settings were all fairly comparable between the two programs.
So many negative comments, particularly from people who haven't properly used it. I'm now Adobe-free and I use Exposure every day in a professional capacity. As for chromatic aberration removal, with today's lenses it's hardly a problem, but this is where Affinity Photo comes in handy very occasionally - though you can be sure Alien Skin will add this feature in a future update. It rocks. Only me that use this for film looks and like it but I think the software is to bloated now.
Software looks interesting, but supported lens corrections are presently sparse. As with DxO, there can be a serious wait for lens corrections following a request. Modern lenses contain corrections in software in the lens, but this is apparently not used by Exposure X4. Can anyone share their experience with alien skin comparing with LR 6.
It's much faster, has far less bloat, and is a joy to use. Not quite prefect but not far off. Used by a lot of professional photographers, including me. I much prefer it to Capture One, and, yes, I'm serious. You can rate and then prioritize the images you need to work on right away.
This would be a KEY requirement. Thanks for the review of this affordable piece of software. I appreciate learning about alternatives to Adobe. Yes, their products have good feature sets but for a hobbyist to pay monthly for the rest of your life is a pretty bad move financially.
If automatic investment plans like K's build wealth, automatic spending destroys wealth. After a little usage of Exposure 7, X2, X3, X4 over the years. I agree with Sankos: Exposure X4. So, for pure lens correction, geometry, noise, highlight, and similars you can find better. I just love the Exposure X May its not perfect in all technical terms, but fun and love to use it what i never feel over Lr, DxO years.
And i love the result, it has some 'groove'. After you find your favourite presets like Kodak25 , you may never look back about how color accurate the profile. Layering is super, Exposure works great, Grain, Sharpening works nice, misc things like 'Focus' also good, etc.
Improvements in each version visible development Price is okay definitelly not the price of C1 Support is great and kind. If you nail the processing, results are very interesting and can be rather close to film colors. It has a lot of "ifs", but so far its one of best things I found. Another would be probably Replichrome profiles. Tho those are acquired taste and a lot of tweaking needed. I would like to read about the review of the previous version, and see how the author handled the "lag" on that review.
In this review it "tears it apart. I was looking for a Lightroom alternative, and I thought I found it with X4. I enjoyed the presets and combining the presets so much I think I will end up buying it anyways as a finishing touch. Some of those presets really do bring previously dull images to life. Thank you for saving me a trial run. I tried v4 at the start of the year and noticed shadow detail behaved strangely in this program.
From your words it appears to be the same. Maybe v5 they'll resolve it? Is it possible you were evaluating Exposure X3? Finley Lee, to be more specific, bumping up shadow detail made the images mushy and not nearly as bright as LR. If you can figure out a good way for me to share what I am talking about, I would be glad to show you how the same image is treated with LR. Like I said though, I plan on buying the program anyways.
The presets are amazing and the way one can stack and blend them have me looking forward to editing future images. Also, I love how generous the trial is. If you want to edit a few hundred images as normal it gets slower and slower as you go making it super slow to get a job done. If working on one image its not bad. Also the output quality is very poor vs other programs it creates artifacts in the images to the point that I cant use it..
That behavior is not typical. Exposure is designed to perform well on very large photo shoots. And, its image processing quality is excellent. I have contacted your support many times and sent in sample images showing the problems and you have not been able help. The image quality of the output is just not as good as other programs.
Also, the highlights get blown out super easy in the program that can not be recovered like in other programs. I have sent you side by side versions of the same photos edited to see as well. I also reported the editing time that is so slow. In Lightroom or ACDSee I can edit say images in less then half the time - as your program gets so slows it starts taking forever to show the image displays all the way then the output is so bad I had to re-edit all the images over as I did not want to give them to my customers looking that way.
Your noise reduction is very poor vs the others as well. Thanks for this info. I had used Exposure 2 Not x2 many years ago, and I still use EyeCandy which they dont offer a discount to And I certainly dont want a slow process. I use ACDSee which is pretty fast. I just wish I can rank and rate and see those details when importing to LRclassic.
I can't take any software seriously that doesn't have an option to correct chromatic aberration. However, no CA correction; no deal. I will keep watching and eagerly waiting. Please, please, please give me an excuse to dump Adobe.
HowaboutRAW lol Same here Topaz has some nice stuff, and yes, C1 can be great. I will not consent to rentals!! That's at least 3 times so far this yearthat Adobe has made me an offer that, as a owner of a PS CS6 license, I find easy to refuse. Topaz does NOT do extractions software.
It has a jpeg to raw program that makes AI inspired guesses. So I'd guess that software finds the jpeg included in raws and fakes a raw extraction. The camera was only announced last week, and nothing extracts the raws yet. Well, the overall review of 3. From the writing, I would have expected at least a full 4.
But this is such a brief, and insubstantial review, I get nothing useful from it. Is the 3. What does it mean? Normally, I would never have an interest in something with that overall rating. Scorpius1 - downloaded the last version, played with it for a 30 minutes, quickly uninstalled and moved on. Perhaps this version will be better It takes weeks to properly evaluate software like this. Not a good enough reason to switch.
Weeks if the software doesn't crash constantly, runs swiftly and produces results that are equal or superior to products you always use. For me, this was NOT the case so 30 minutes of play was enough to know it was time to uninstall. Its streamlined approach eliminates unnecessary complexities like catalogs and imports, while a variety of filtering and selection tools help you cull and organize your images.
Exposure X2 introduces many significant new features, including several popular requests from Exposure users:. Snap Art natural media effects enable you to easily transform your photos into gorgeous, handcrafted paintings in the style of oil paints, watercolors, and more.
Blow Up image enlargement technology lets you enlarge your photos while keeping them crystal clear. As always, our apps are flexible enough to also work as creative editing plug-ins with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. I see they have no discount at all for current Exposure users. Not even a tip of the hat. Current users can take advantage of the upgrade price, which is significantly discounted. I see some users have installed X2 as both standalone and a plugin on a Win7 64bit PC even though your minimum specs says Win8 or above.
Our policy is to test and resolve bugs on the current and one prior version of operating system from both Windows and Apple. This means that older versions may work, but bugs that are specific to that operating system may not be fixed.
Hi Bill — Something must not be working correctly. Here is a link to open a support ticket. Exposure X2 is now available!
