Alien Skin Software Announces New RAW Photo Editor for Photographers

Raleigh, NC (October 10, 2017) – Alien Skin Software today announced the release of Exposure X3, their non-destructive RAW photo editor. Exposure is an award-winning photo editor that combines powerful organizational tools with gorgeous photo processing into a single intuitive solution. Exposure is also significantly faster than traditional photo editors.

Photographers can easily organize, edit, enhance, and export their photos using Exposure’s efficient workflow. Its unique design streamlines image management and backups, and enables multi-computer and collaborative workflows that are not possible with traditional editing tools.

This latest version of Exposure introduces numerous creative enhancements.

Color and B&W toning enhancements give photographers greater control over their image adjustments. The side-by-side view provides an easy way to compare multiple images, or to audition multiple presets on a single image. Linear and radial gradient tools enable a natural, seamless fade between two or more effects. Adjustable borders include grunge and wet plate looks.

There are powerful new organizing tools, as well.

Virtual copies enable photographers to edit multiple variations of a single photo, without taking up additional disk space. Exposure’s intuitive keywords interface enables photographers to add descriptive metadata to their photo, making it easy to organize photos around themes and to create keyword sets. The advanced collections tools help them quickly and easily group their images, no matter where they appear on their computer.

Additional enhancements include the following:

• New presets that feature linear/radial shapes
• More borders, light effects, and overlay blend modes.
• Flexible watermark capability on exported images
• Numerous speed enhancements

“Exposure gives photographers all the tools they need for professional photo editing, freeing them from relying on multiple apps to complete their workflow. Exposure’s speed helps them produce beautiful images extremely quickly,” said Alien Skin CEO Finley Lee. “From capture to creativity, Exposure is the fastest way for photographers to bring their vision to life.”

Every Tool Photographers Need — In a Single Product

With Exposure, photographers have a single product that efficiently handles their full photography workflow. They no longer need to purchase and maintain a variety of different products to complete their work.

They can use Exposure to quickly copy their images to their computer, and can begin culling and editing their images immediately. Exposure’s file management and image rating tools help them efficiently organize their photos. Robust metadata tools enable them to quickly search and sort large photo libraries.

Exposure’s advanced engine handles the demanding task of accurate film emulation. It faithfully reproduces hundreds of analog film types, down to the size, shape, and color of film grain. An extensive library of creative, adjustable presets makes these looks available to photographers.

A suite of powerful editing tools and special effects enables fundamental adjustments like color toning, sharpening, and exposure, as well as advanced creative effects like vignette, film grain, and bokeh.

Exposure includes the finishing tools that photographers need to refine their photos. They can complete their spot healing, layering, and brushing all within Exposure.

All of Exposure’s tools exist in a single, customizable user interface, resulting in a seamless workflow.

Exposure also works as a creative editing plug-in with other editors, such as Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom.

Today’s best photographers use Exposure to create beautiful images. Among them is master photographer and educator Sue Bryce, who edits all of her work in Exposure. “Exposure is every look I’ve ever wanted, all in one software product. It truly replicates every type of film you could possible imagine, and helps me bring a painterly, Old Masters-feel to my images,” she said.
