Alien Skin Bundles Five Photoshop Plug-ins
Alien Skin Software today announces the immediate availability of its Photo Bundle, a collection of award-winning photography plug-ins for Adobe® Photoshop® and Photoshop Elements. The Photo Bundle currently includes Blow Up 2, Bokeh, Exposure 2, Image Doctor 2, and Snap Art 2 at a discounted price of $595, which is a savings of $500.
“The Photo Bundle brings all of our complementary image enhancement tools into one package,” said Jeff Butterworth, CEO and founder of Alien Skin Software. “Our products save photographers money by saving valuable time. Now they can save even more with this deep discount.”
The products in the Photo Bundle enhance a professional workflow by saving time, improving image quality, and providing creative freedom. In combination, some of these products are even more effective. For instance, Image Doctor removes defects and Blow Up produces sharp enlargements, both adding up to clean and clear prints. Bokeh’s lens simulation and Exposure’s film simulation provide traditional photographic tools to make digital photos look more natural and less digital. Blow Up and Snap Art can turn a photograph into a realistic oil painting that is suitable for printing on a large canvas.
Although the Photo Bundle sells for $595 USD, owners of one or more of the products in the Photo Bundle can purchase it for $450 USD. Online or physical delivery is available through the Alien Skin website. A real live human (imagine that!) can take orders or answer questions at 888-921-SKIN (7546).
About Blow Up
Blow Up enlarges photos while keeping them crisp and clear. Blow Up 2 takes the complexity out of preparing photos for printing with a user interface that intelligently handles resizing, cropping, and sharpening. The sophisticated enlargement algorithm produces photos dramatically sharper and more detailed than any other method.
About Bokeh
Bokeh accurately simulates focus effects created by real lenses. Photographers use Bokeh to draw attention to their subject by manipulating focus and depth of field after the shot has been taken. From changing the depth of field to placing a radial sweet spot and adding a vignette, Bokeh has many tools for realistic blurring and altering the mood of a scene. Bokeh is the first software based on mathematics sophisticated enough to produce a natural blur and creamy highlights.
About Exposure
Exposure accurately simulates a wide range of film stocks, including ones that were discontinued such as Polaroid®, Kodachrome®, and Scala®. Attention to the subtleties of film grain, contrast, saturation, and color cast brings back the unique looks of classic film. With over 300 presets for films, special effects, and dark room techniques, it is easy to get started with Exposure.
About Image Doctor
Image Doctor is a complete toolset for photo restoration, smart object removal, blemish concealment, skin softening, and JPEG artifact repair. Even severely damaged old photos can be restored. Portrait touchup with Image Doctor results in blemish free and smooth yet realistic skin.
About Snap Art
Snap Art turns a photo into a beautiful work of art with a single click. Choose from ten natural media and hundreds of styles, such as oil paint, watercolor, and pencil sketch. Detailed simulation of individual brush strokes and canvas texture gives results that are indistinguishable from handmade art. You make the creative choices while Snap Art takes care of all the tedious work of drawing brush strokes.
