Once you pick your effect you can move to the right side of the window to fine tune your look. Over time you will begin to learn which effects work best for which pictures and in my case I can usually open Exposure, pick my effect, and then apply it in less than 30 seconds. You can literally try hundreds of different looks for your images in a couple minutes. You can then click on the image to toggle between the picture with and without that effect. Most programs would take at least a few seconds to do this but Exposure's previews take no time to show up. When you click once on one of these filters you see an instant preview of that effect on your image. On the left you will see four hundred fifty four (yes, you read that right) different filters. I love moving this window onto my second monitor so that I can still see Photoshop on my primary monitor.

In Photoshop you simply click on Filter/Exposure 4 and within seconds a new window opens with the picture that you are currently working on.
Exposure x software movie#
If you've ever seen a movie before it's color graded you know what I mean.Įxposure 4 is a plugin for Photoshop and Lightroom. With a couple clicks of my mouse and about 15 seconds I can take a common looking image and make it look "finished". Images right out of the camera can look pretty plain. I personally use Exposure on every image that I shoot to give that image a "look". The most simple explanation is that Exposure 4 is a set of filters that mimic the look of film. In my opinion this software is the best at what it does for 3 very simple reasons It's the fastest plugin I've ever used, it has an incredible amount of high quality filters, and it gives you complete control of each filter. Maybe there is a comparable program that is faster, cheaper, or has more options but so far I have not run across anything that can compare to Alien Skin Exposure 4. Now I'm not going to pretend to have tried every piece of photo software out there.
