Boris Optics 2022 came out not all that long ago and there have been multiple reviews of this must-have plugin for Photoshop and Lightroom. Here are 5 recent reviews to check out. They all have a slightly different take but they all had great things to say about the plugins.
BETTER and EASIER than Photoshop?!!

Boris Optics FX 2022 by Oliver Peters
On his Digital Films blog, Oliver talks about what has changed in the most recent release, including Mac M1 support, Metal acceleration, and the introduction of Particle Illusion.
All in all, it’s a sweet application that really helps when stuck for ideas about what to do with an image when you want to elevate it above the mundane. Getting great results is fast and quite enjoyable – not to mention, infinitely easier than in Photoshop. Overall, Optics is a great tool for any photographer or graphic designer.

Boris FX Optics 2022 Review: Hollywood-Level Effects for Photography
PetaPixel goes through the new features, and some previously included features.
Value-wise, Boris FX Optics 2022 provides a lot, especially once you consider its reasonable $149 purchase price. There are several other plugins and stand-alone apps on the market that are similar to Optics 2022, but none seem to offer as diverse a set of plugins without asking you to pay for additional downloads. Additionally, few offer the ease of use or functional control the Boris FX toolset does.

Another great review!
The bottom line is that Optics 2022 is just plain fun. It offers a wealth of creative effects and being able to change particle effects based on how they appear in time is a game-changer. This is a great add-on to your tool kit whether you are a compositor or simply someone who just enjoys playing with an image.
