Auto FX: Mystical Tint, Tone, and Color Effects
A Quick Example
In the example below, it took around 3 minutes to generate this portraiture look. First we wanted to reduce the wrinkles so we used: Smooth Skin.
Next we wanted to even out the skin colors and remove fine lines and blemishes so we used: Skin Color. Then we added an effect to set a mood so we used a High Key Blast filter. We then added a color effect called Afternoon Sun to give the composition some warmth. The final step was to add the Color Tone filter to scale back and tone down the colors.
There are 60 filters in this suite — each can be combined together to create a virtually infinite set of looks and moods that give you a true creative edge. There are over 300 instant preset looks included with the software. You can also capture looks as presets and replay them on other photos.
New and Improved Interface
The new interface design includes a streamlined workflow with larger and faster before/after previews, an improved rendering engine, brush palettes, new effect layers, easier brush-on / brush-off tools, instant effect presets with larger previews and much, much more!
New Portrait Filters
AutoFX has streamlined enhancing portrait shots with a suite of filters (8 in all) that smooth skin, color skin, enhance flesh tones, enhance eyes, lips and hair and can even reshape and touch-up facial and body features.
Easily remove blemishes, oily skin, and even out the colors and tone of the skin for your most important portrait shots. They're a snap to use; just Brush-On / Brush-Off!
All New Preset Effects
Experience hundreds of new pre-made effect combinations that give you a wide variety of instant looks. You can also design your own presets and save them so you can apply them to other photos later. Roll-over previews will show the original/effect result to help guide you to the right solution for your photo.
Brush-on Effects — Fast & Easy
Get exactly the look you're after with powerful brush on effects. Easily apply an effect to the entire photo or just to the areas you want with the Brush-On/Brush-Off tools. Brush on sharpness, color and tonal adjustments — just about every effect in this suite can be brushed on and off to fit your needs.
