In order to learn best practices I tried processing landscapes in DXO with deep prime, then processing in Exposure X7 and Topaz Denoise AI and getting BETTER results. The de-fishing tool is the best I’ve ever used. Some landscapes I can get equivalent results with Exposure X7 but it requires more work to do it. SOME landscapes have a better 3-dimensional feel to them. There are 2 areas where it is better than Exposure X7 with Topaz Denoise AI and Sharpen AI. My standard of comparison is Exposure X7 with Topaz Denoise AI, Sharpen AI and Mask AI. I’ve spent a month with the trial version of DXO Photolab 5, really trying to learn it well. Exposure is one of those applications that I’ve been interested in, and I’ve played around with quite a bit, but it hasn’t really made it into my daily workflow.Exposure X7 with Topaz DenoiseAI -"Clear" module I keep coming back to it though, as it offers some unique features, and it also does some nice RAW conversions. Well, Exposure Software (the company) has just launched the latest version of the software, Exposure X6. The latest version has several new features, but the most prominent of which is that it now has GPU support. I have spent a little time playing around with the trial version, and it is indeed noticeably faster. I will do a full review soon, once I get to spend a little more time with the application. Official Press Release:Įxposure X6 features dramatic speed improvement, one-click automatic adjustments, advanced color replacement, innovative shadow/highlight and noise reduction processing, and more I’m taking a few days off from work at the moment, so I’m just posting a quick notice about this, and I’ve shared the full press release is below, and you can try the software out yourself by downloading the 30-day trial here. Raleigh, NC (September 15, 2020) - Exposure Software, formerly known as Alien Skin Software, today announced the release of Exposure X6, the newest version of their award-winning RAW photo editor for creative photographers. Exposure is a standalone image editor that handles a full photography workflow. It includes plug-in support that enables Exposure’s advanced editing and creative effects in Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom. New in Exposure X6 is advanced GPU optimization, which dramatically speeds up image processing. GPU support works in concert with Exposure’s existing multi-core optimization to enable Exposure to leverage the full power of modern computer hardware. Many frequently used editing operations have been sped up by a factor of three on typical GPU hardware. This improved performance enables editing at greatly improved speeds, reducing distraction so photographers can focus on creativity. “This further advances our goal of making Exposure the best available image editor for creative photography.” “The introduction of GPU support in Exposure X6 enabled us to achieve amazing speed and image processing quality improvements,” said Finley Lee, CEO of Exposure Software. New automatic adjustments select optimized values for the most frequently used controls in a single click, freeing time for creative editing. Auto White Balance adjusts white balance based on camera metadata.Exposure’s new automatic adjustments include the following: They can even be applied in batch to significantly ease the time spent editing large photoshoots. Auto Haze Level changes the level of atmospheric haze present in the image.Auto Exposure sets image exposure for both under and overexposed images.Corrects for tungsten, artificial, shade, and sunlight illuminant scenes. Auto Tone sets values for Blacks, Shadows, Highlights, and Whites sliders that affect overall image tone.Auto Dynamic Contrast lowers and raises the overall image contrast without changing saturation or hue.This is particularly useful for backlit subjects and images shot into the sun. Using an innovative tonal-zone approach, Exposure’s redesigned shadows and highlights controls are more reliable, consistent, and accurate. These intuitive controls are particularly adept at recovering lost details in the highlight and shadow areas. The adjustments are applied intelligently to prevent unwanted color casts or hue shifts. They are exceptionally well-suited in preserving high or low key scenes.Įxposure’s new profile guided noise reduction capability reduces noise based on camera sensor characteristics, ISO, and estimated electronic noise. Luminance and chrominance noise can be reduced independently. The smoothing option applies an adaptive noise-sensitive algorithm which preserves sharp edges while further reducing noise.
