Alien Skin Software Announces Major Feature Update for Exposure X4 RAW Photo Editor

Exposure X4.5 adds LUT support - new image copy and organizing tools - configurable keyboard shortcuts - enhanced metadata options - new light effect overlays

RALEIGH, N.C., April 2, 2019 — (PRNewswire) —

RALEIGH, N.C., April 2, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --  Alien Skin Software today announced the release of Exposure X4.5, a major update to Exposure X4, their award-winning, non-destructive RAW photo editor and organizer. Exposure's speed, stability, and unmatched editing and organizing tools make it the standalone solution that photographers rely on to master their workflow and create beautiful images.

Exposure X4.5, which is free to all owners of Exposure X4, further expands Exposure's capabilities with significant new tools.

LUT support opens up new creative possibilities for photographers. LUT effects, available freely on the Internet or produced by other photo and video apps, may be imported into Exposure, where they can achieve striking looks. These effects can be further enhanced using Exposure's advanced editing and layering tools.

The redesigned Copy Photos from Card function displays visual previews of images at the source location, allowing photographers to quickly select the images they wish to copy, as well as select a variety of flexible source and destination options. Exposure's unique design differs from traditional photo editors by removing the need for slow imports, enabling photographers to begin their creative edits immediately after the image copy begins.

Configurable keyboard shortcuts allow photographers to assign an editing, organizing, or navigating function to a selected keystroke. For those migrating from Lightroom to Exposure, an included Lightroom keyboard shortcut preset eases the transition.

Further enhancements in Exposure X4.5 include the following:
●    Additional freely moveable light leak overlays, including the new categories of Lens Flare and Haze

●    Collection membership now appears the Metadata panel, enabling photographers to see a full list of the collections a photo belongs to

●    Support for additional cameras and lenses from these manufacturers:

  • Fujifilm
  • Leica
  • Panasonic
  • Nikon
  • Sony
  • Olympus
  • Canon
  • DJI

 

●    User-requested workflow refinements that include new photo sizing options when exporting, new keyboard shortcuts, and more

"Exposure X4.5 delivers features that are among the most requested by our customers and that make Exposure an even more powerful and complete editing and organizing solution," said Alien Skin CEO Finley Lee.
