Home > Consumer Reviews > Alien Skin Exposure 2, Effects Plug-in Software for Photoshop, Macintosh & Windows

I recommend downloading the demo 1st from (www.alienskin.com). I used the demo for 10 minutes & decided immediately on buying the software (By the way Amazon's prices are cheaper than the company producing it). The software in brief compiles the effect of all the major camera films. You can tweak your digital photos & give them the effect of films that had been used only a few years back. For example, you can get a cross processed effect, a high contrast, very grainy black & white effect etc.

I took the free 30 day Demo from the parent company and after just a week I decided to buy it. This is a little pricey but this thing has to be used to be believed. The one thing missing for me in digital photography was that the digital images just seemed to lack a realness (just too slick looking). Exposure 2 cures that with every camera film and grain that can be imagined. This program brings back the fond memories of Kodachrome (and I have missed it) to all the even elite films that I always wanted to use but could not find or afford back in the old days. This program changes the photo in mostly subtle differences but these changes are extreme in the overall effect.I'm using it on every photo I do now and enjoying every minute of it. The only negative thing for me is that i had to hire a geek to add it as a plug in for Corel. The twenty more bucks (for the geek) was truly worth it.
