Digital Film Tools released two new Photoshop filters: Ozone v2 and Light! v2. Ozone v2 is a Photoshop filter that allows photographers, designers and artists to manipulate the color of an image with incredible flexibility and accuracy.
Inspired by Ansel Adams’ Zone System for still photography, Digital Film Tools has created "The Digital Zone System." To reproduce the infinite palette of colors, tones and brightness of the world around us, the Digital Zone System takes the spectrum of image values and divides them into 11 discrete zones. With Ozone, the color and brightness of each zone can be independently adjusted until you’ve painted a new picture. All zones can be adjusted and viewed in context and you don’t have to commit to the adjustments until all zones are corrected.
Ozone v2 sports a new and improved user-interface that organizes controls into parameter groups and adds zoom controls, loading and saving of settings, new zone selection methods as well as zone contrast and gamma adjustments.
Ozone for Adobe Photoshop is available for download or purchase at the company's website for $50.
Digital Film Tools also released Light! v2, a Photoshop filter that allows photographers, designers and artists to add light to a scene where none existed before
. The Light! Adobe Photoshop filter adds light to an image just as if you were adding a light at the time of shooting. Relying on proprietary image slicing algorithms, isolation of specific parts of the image is quick and easy. Once isolated, light and shadow are introduced. Light! can also simulate popular glass camera filters like Mist and Fog filters as well as create glow effects. In addition, Light! includes a pre-built shape and texture library consisting of windows, doors, various shapes and abstract patterns that allow you to add realistic lighting or shadow to scenes.
Light! v2 sports a new and improved user-interface that organizes controls into parameter groups and adds zoom controls, loading and saving of settings as well as 50 new shapes and textures.
Light! for Adobe Photoshop is available for download or purchase at: the company's website for $50
