Description

Transform your images with a hand-drawn Cartoon look. Set images alight with Fire or opt for Colourist for automatic colour correction. BleachBypass exactly mimics a film lab bleach bypass process where the silver in the negative is retained to give a very stylised look. Flow is a really cool plug-in that allows you to reveal the layers in an image by flowing colour through a matte. Now you can have limitless zoom with InfiniteZoom, it keeps on zooming until you reveal the original image or an alternative image within the zoomed pixels. Convert your images with LineDrawing, this smart tool detects the edges in your image and applies a really organic looking pen stroke. Simulate a Security camera feed. Generate clean and really effective 2D Rain or go for a winter look with Snow. Wrap background light around foreground objects with LightWrap and apply fast elegant glow effects with SoftGlow.

List of Plug-ins

Bars generates colour bars and ramps.

BleachBypass - exactly mimics a film lab bleach bypass process where the silver in the negative is retained giving a very stylised look, shown here.

Cartoon - flattens colour and adds edge lines to give a hand drawn cartoon style look to images.

Channels - provides floating point colour conversion between spaces.

Colourist - uses statistical analysis of the image to provide various forms of automatic technically perfect colour correction for normal colour balancing.

Convolve - is a general purpose spatial filter that uses a weighted average of sampled pixels to determine each new pixel value.

Fire - generates animating flames. Presets include gas, candle and oil flames.

Flow - reveals the layers in a composite by flowing colour through a matte. The user creates a "path" in the alpha matte. Flow will then fill the matte procedurally. Flow can be used to create a variety of interesting "Write-on" and "reveal" type effects.

InfiniteZoom - continues to zoom in on an image until the original or an alternative image is revealed within the zoomed image pixels.

Kaleid - produces a classic kaleidoscope prism effect on an image. This is achieved by simulating the inter-reflections of a triangular prism over a picture.

LightWrap - wraps background light around foreground objects.

LineDrawing - is a smart tool that detects the edges in an image and applies a really organic looking pen stroke.

Median - applies an NxN median filter to an image. Median filters do an excellent job of removing single pixel noise or scratches from an image while only causing a slight reduction in sharpness.

MuzzleFlash - generates light flashes for guns. Presets included for

some well known makes.

Quantise - limits the number of colours in an image to give a range of interesting effects.

Rain - simulates really clean effective 2D rain.

Security - simulates a security camera feed.

Snow - simulates 3D snow. It's a really smart plug-in which will settle on objects when fed a matte.

SoftGlow - really fast elegant glow effects.

Water - procedurally simulates the effect of water droplets rippling on a surface. The effect can also be output as a procedurally animated ripple matte. For further realism a "wall" matte can be introduced to the ripples, which will then reflect or "bounce" off the white areas of the wall matte.
