This helps to automate the process of image organization, enabling photographers to focus on creative choices.Įxposure's already considerable speed gets a boost with several ways: file exports are now up to 60% faster, image rendering is up to 30% faster, and launch times have been reduced by a third.Īdditional enhancements include the following: Keywords, ratings, folder location, and shutter speed are among the metadata that Exposure can query to build a smart collection. Smart collections make use of Exposure's robust metadata handling to automatically populate collections based on camera metadata and criteria that photographers specify. The addition of monitored folders for tethered shooting is great news for studio photographers, who can now edit, cull, and share images from Exposure during a shoot. The new transform tools enable photographers to easily correct tilted or skewed perspective, such as keystoning of buildings in architectural photography. This makes it possible to precisely place natural-looking effects like sun rays and light leaks in an image, enabling gorgeous new creative looks. Photographers now have complete control of the placement and rotation of Exposure's high-quality light effects. Improved shadow and highlight recovery enables photographers to extract the maximum amount of detail from their RAW images, and faster photo processing times speed up their editing. A modified version of the Kodak Tri-X 400 preset with sharpening was applied. This is helpful in gauging the intensity of the overlay applied, and its effect on the original image.Photo © Jay Cassario This B&W image by wedding photographer and Leica Camera USA ambassador Jay Cassario demonstrates Exposure’s unmatched analog grain and accurate B&W film presets.
