Effects

Center Spot

NEW IN CONTINUUM 2021, the BCC Center Spot filter diffuses and blurs distracting backgrounds while keeping a center spot in focus.

 

Depth of Field

NEW IN CONTINUUM 2021, the BCC Depth of Field filter simulates Depth of Field by isolating and blurring only a portion of the image.

 

Diffusion

NEW IN CONTINUUM 2021, the BCC Diffusion filter creates atmosphere by reducing contrast while creating a glow around highlights or shadows using an extensive texture library.

 

Double Fog

NEW IN CONTINUUM 2021, the BCC Double Fog filter creates a soft, misty atmosphere over the image by first applying fog using a vanishing point along the direction of increasing distance in the image. Then, a second pass blooms image highlights.

 

Fog

NEW IN CONTINUUM 2021, the BCC Fog filter creates a soft, misty atmosphere over the image and glows highlights.

 

Frost

NEW IN CONTINUUM 2021, the BCC Frost filter glows highlights and reduces contrast while softening facial blemishes and wrinkles.

 

Halo

NEW IN CONTINUUM 2021, the BCC Halo filter glows highlights and reduces contrast while softening facial blemishes and wrinkles.

 

Mist

Net

NEW IN CONTINUUM 2021, the BCC Net filter softens and minimizes facial imperfections while retaining image clarity. Great for portraits and people photography.

 

Rack Focus

NEW IN CONTINUUM 2021, the BCC Rack Focus filter replicates a true camera defocus by introducing lens Bokeh effects.

Silk

NEW IN CONTINUUM 2021, the BCC Silk filter softens wrinkles, blemishes and fine detail to produce smooth skin textures while retaining detail in coarse features such as the eyes, nose and mouth.

Split Field

NEW IN CONTINUUM 2021, the BCC Split Field filter splits the image with a line that can be positioned, rotated and blurred. On one side of the line, the image is blurred and on the other, it is in focus.
