Tiffen Dfx v2.0.2 StandAlone for Windows

Tiffen Dfx v2.0.2 StandAlone for Windows - 67.3 MB The Tiffen Dfx v2.0.2 Complete Standalone Edition simulates the characteristics of Tiffen's optical glass with up to 2,000 traditional and special effects filters and gels. Tiffen Dfx software offers something for everyone, whether photo enthusiast, professional photographer, cinema-tographer or editor, anyone who wants precision control over their images. The Viewer, where you load and edit your main image, is surrounded by the other main components: Filters, Effects, and Presets (with Parameter settings). Along the bottom of the screen is where you find the various categories of Filters including Gels, Gradients and Tints, Film Lab processes, and Diffusion filters, among others. The Presets panel shows prebuilt variations of any filter that you select, allowing you to try and match Tiffen's optical filters. There's even a Custom setting that lets you save your personalized effects. You can also stack (layer) effects, while retaining the ability to control any effect individually. The Dfx software adds EZ Mask, one of the easiest masking systems that I've ever used: Just draw a few loose lines around the border of the object(s) on which you want to focus and the software does an amazing job of determining what that selection should be. The well-thought-out Tiffen Dfx Complete Standalone Edition has plenty of filter choices to match real-world glass. The inclusion of a PDF manual with more than 500 pages of examples and before-and-after shots, along with a reasonable price makes this package an easy recommendation for any photographer. * 1,000 new filters and special effects * Masking and layering with Photoshop and Aperture * Layer opacity, masking and blur controls * Enhanced color management * Optimized batch processing * Local language menus * New, easy to use licensing system- exceptionally reliable Dfx v2 Filter Effects Tiffen Dfx Digital Filter Suite is the definitive set of digital optical filters.

Stand-alone Changes View > Window > Reset Resets the window layout the next time Dfx is started. This is useful if you have tweaked your windows beyond recognition. Edit Layout The Edit Layout accessed with the View menu or the F3 key now has Presets on the left side of the Viewer and Parameters on the right side. Horizontal and Vertical Split Comparison Horizontal and Vertical Split Comparison icons replace the single Split Comparison icon. You can also now drag the comparison bar inside the Viewer. Mask Icons Icons have been added to the various mask controls that previously were text only. Layer Opacity A Layer Opacity control has been added to the right of the layer name. Reset A Reset icon has been added to the Toolbar to reset Dfx back to the original image with nothing applied to it. EZ Mask - Blur controls have been added for the EZ Mask masks. - The Generate Mask icon was changed. Batch Processing Optimized Batch processing has been optimized for use with longer sequences. DPX Interpretation Preference Dfx tries to figure out whether a DPX file is logarithmic or linear based on the file's header information. Sometimes the program used to create the DPX file writes the wrong information into the header causing Dfx to think it is Logarithmic when it is Linear and vice versa. To explicitly set whether or not the file is Logarithmic or Linear, you can do so by setting File > Preference > DPX Interpretation. Smooth Animation in Viewer The Viewer animates images smoothly when they are loaded, closed and when the comparison modes are used. Color Management - The Color Management system has been re-written and now operates like other competitive programs. - If an image has an embedded color profile, that color profile is preserved. - If an image does not have an embedded color profile, color management is disabled in Dfx. - The Color Management now makes use of your system's graphics card. It is much faster now. Filter Changes Light - A Subtract blend mode has been added to the Light > Blend menu. This allows you to use the light patterns to add shadow instead of light. - Light > GamColor Presets have been renamed to Gels. - The Light > Displacement algorithm was re-written. - Shapes have been categorized according to their series. - Shape > Gam Pattern has been renamed to Category. - The Shape group has been renamed to Gobo. Nude/FX Nude/FX has been moved to the HFX Grads/Tints category. Rack Focus A Threshold parameter has been added to limit the amount of out-of-focus points of light. Vari-Star A Threshold parameter has been added to limit the amount of stars. Saturation Saturation algorithm has been improved in all filters. Color Correct Group The Color Correct group has been added to the following plug-ins: - Black Pro-Mist - Bronze Glimmer Glass - Cool Pro-Mist - Diffusion - Glimmer Glass - Pro-Mist - Warm Black Pro-Mist - Warm Pro-Mist - Glow New Filters Ambient Light Ambient creates light without a defined source and contributes to the overall brightness of a scene without casting shadows. Close-Up Lens Simulates close-up lenses that allow you to zoom in extra close using high quality digital filtering. Dot Dots are circular lighting control devices used to create shadow areas on a motion picture or photographic set. This concept has been extended to a digital flag so that areas of the image can be selectively darkened. Eye Light Creates a targeted light to be placed around a person's eyes. Flag Flags are rectangular lighting control devices used to create shadow areas on a motion picture or photographic set. This concept has been extended to a digital flag so that areas of the image can be selectively darkened. Gobo Gobo is similar to the Light filter except it uses Rosco gels and gobo patterns. The Rosco range presently includes over 1300 standard gobo designs in the following categories: Breakups, Foliage Breakups, Trees & Flowers, Abstract, Graphics, Graphics & Grills, Rotation, Symbols & Signs, World Around Us, Churches & Heraldics, Windows, Doors & Blinds, Boundaries & Wildlife, Clouds & Sky, Water & Sky, Fire & Ice, Architectural & Retail, Occasions & Holidays and Text. HFX® Star Exciting and dazzling star effects are generated from original point or reflected light sources with the added glitter and sparkle of these exclusive, natural looking asymmetrical designs and shapes. Great for water scenes, candle flames, street lights and more. Haze Reduces excessive blue by absorbing UV light and eliminates haze which tends to wash out color and image clarity. High Contrast Creates an extreme high contrast image. Ice Halos Ice halos are created when small ice crystals in the atmosphere generate halos by reflecting and refracting light. Most notably, circles form around the sun or moon as well as rare occurrences when the entire sky is painted with a web of arcing halos. Rainbow Recreates arced rainbows of spectral colors, usually identified as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, that appear in the sky as a result of the refractive dispersion of sunlight in drops of rain or mist. Sepia Creates a warm brown tone for that nostalgic feeling. Sky Reduces UV light, haze and is pink tinted for added warmth and better colors. It is especially useful for images shot in outdoor open shade and on overcast days. Soft Contrast Soft Contrast diminishes highlights while retaining the darker look of the shadows. Soft Light Provides soft, digitally diffused and virtually shadowless light. Warm Center Spot Combines the benefits of Center Spot with a warming filter making it ideal for portraits and skintones. Warm Polarizer Combines the benefits of the Polarizer with a warming filter making it ideal for portraits and scenics. Water Droplets Simulates the circular, rainbow colored optical effects produced by tiny water droplets in clouds, mist and fog. Wide Angle Lens Simulates the effect of a wide angle lens. 812® Warming The 812® Warming filter, a Tiffen exclusive, improves skintones and is ideal for portraits taken on a cloudy day or in outdoor shade on a sunny day.
