Fotomatic 1.4
Traditional photographic effects!
A collection of 8 plug-in filters for use with Adobe Photoshop or compatible host applications. They offer a series of effects based on traditional photography equipment and techniques. Ideal for the beginner or for those photographers who are just moving over to digital-editing and wish to use effects that seem more familiar to them.
Hi-Spot creates high contrast black and white photos. It will not just convert your images into the standard shades of grey, it will automatically higher the contrast and produce a more dramatic sense of lighting in your scene.
G-Force creates traditional monochromatic grain effects. It produces results similar to using "fast" B&W camera film, allowing more control than the standard "noise" filters included with most image-editors.
Techni-X bleaches out most of the mid-tone greys, leaving crisp dark blacks and bright clean whites. It will produce clear B&W images with limited tones which are suitable for cheap reproduction via the office photocopier.
NightScope adds a basic "night-vision" effect to your images. It first removes all colour from the picture and gives a very slight blur to indicate the camera is trying hard to focus in a low-light situation.
Pseudo-IR produces a similar look when using traditional B&W infra-red film. It is not an exact match but will provide you with a quick and easy way to re-create the effect digitally using your standard colour photographs.
SkyGrad is for tinting the sky area of your photographs. The filter will overlay a coloured gradient from the top of your image fading to transparent at the bottom. You can specify the colour of the tint and adjust the brightness with the exposure setting.
BW-Plus quickly turns your colour images into greyscale, but with the added option of using a coloured optical lens filter as you would in traditional B&W photography. The different colours will change the tonal range during the greyscale conversion.
FastFix will help you quickly access the most common image enhancement controls though one easy-to-use dialog. A simple but surprisingly useful filter that will help you fix many of your common photographic problems.
