Alien Skin has announced a new release of its Exposure 3 plugin for Adobe Photoshop, which allows photographers to replicate the look of a wide range of films or photographic processes, as well as a providing

Other changes in the user interface compared to the previous release include the ability to use the mouse wheel to quickly adjust zoom by arbitrary amounts, a drag-and-drop function that lets users duplicate a factory preset as a user preset, and the ability to add text descriptions to user presets. These comments appear as a tooltip when you hover over the preset, and some factory presets now include descriptions by default. Beyond the user interface, Alien Skin has also greatly expanded the range of presets on offer, with new categories including Cinematography and Lo-Fi allowing users to mimic the look of movies or toy cameras, for a total of over 500 factory presets.
The most significant new features in Exposure 3 are:
• 64-bit support for Photoshop CS5 on both Macintosh and Windows
• Tight Lightroom® integration that does not require Photoshop
• Aging effects and vintage films such as Technicolor and old Kodachrome
• Simulation of Lo-Fi toy camera photography
• Hundreds of new settings in all categories, including more films, color toning, and aging
• User interface improvements such as a much faster preview and hover help
A new Dust and Scratches feature enhances the ability to give photos the impression of age. Dust and scratch size and quantity can be adjusted, and positioning can be repeatedly randomized until you're happy with the effect. There's also a vignetting function with variable color, shape, and feather, and blur can also be vignetted so that image corners show less detail than the center of the frame. Further vintage films such as Autochrome, early Kodachrome, and Technicolor have been added, and Exposure 3 can also create unusual coloring reminiscent of cross-processed film.

Alien Skin Exposure 3 groups presets into two types — either Black & White, or Color — and these are accessed as separate plugins for Photoshop users. In Photoshop Lightroom, Exposure 3 appears as an external editor which can edit only sRGB TIFF files, which Lightroom automatically generates from Raw or JPEG files as needed. The user is prompted whether they want a Black & White filter or a Color one, when Exposure 3 is called by Lightroom. Batch processing is possible for Lightroom users, and when each image in the queue is edited, you're prompted whether to apply changes and then adjust the settings again for the next picture, or to apply the same changes to all photos in the queue.
Exposure 3 is ready to work in:
• Adobe Photoshop CS3 or higher.
• Adobe Lightroom 2 or higher.
• Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 or higher.
• Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X3
System Requirements
• Microsoft Windows XP SP3 or higher.
