Alien Skin Software's Exposure 6 now available
Alien Skin Software has launched an update to its popular photography effects software, Exposure. Announced in April, Exposure 6 has a new processing engine for instant image effect previews, a new user interface for a faster workflow and tools for 'Bokeh' (or the quality of out-of-focus areas).
Exposure 6 allows for the simulation of classic film stocks and development techniques. More than 450 presets (including settings for Kodachrome, Tri-X and Polaroid films) can be applied to images to recreate the look and feel of analog photography.
The new release has been 'refined and enhanced in order to provide better esthetics and functionality without compromising user-friendliness,' says the company. This includes a new all-in-one control panel for adjusting exposure, contrast, clarity and vibrance.
The program also offers new lighting effects including sun flare and vintage borders developed by photographer Parker J. Pfister. It's also possible to import and share borders, presets and textures. Exposure 6 works with Photoshop, Lightroom and Aperture and can be run as a stand alone application on Mac or Windows.
Exposure 6 is available for download from the Alien Skin website and costs $149. Upgrades are available or $69 and the update is free to anyone who purchased Exposure 5 directly from Alien Skin from March 2014.

No Nikon camera we've tested to date balances stills and video capture as well as the Nikon Z7. Though autofocus is less reliable than the D850, Nikon's first full-frame mirrorless gets enough right to earn our recommendation.
Nikon's Coolpix P1000 has moved the zoom needle from 'absurd' to 'ludicrous,' with an equivalent focal length of 24-3000mm. While it's great for lunar and still wildlife photography, we found that it's not suited for much else.
As a stills camera the Fujifilm X-T3 is a pleasant update to one of our favorite APS-C cameras, significantly improving the autofocus. If you're interested in stills and video, though, it's knockout.
The Nikon Z7 is slated as a mirrorless equivalent to the D850, but it can't subject track with the same reliability as its DSLR counterpart. AF performance is otherwise good, except in low light where hunting can lead to missed shots.
The Canon EOS R is the first full frame mirrorless camera to use the new RF mount. We're well underway putting it through our range of standard tests – take a look at how it compares to the competition and our thoughts on using it so far.
