![]() * Can the naff toolbar icons be easily changed? * Can it launch Krita or Rebelle as an external painting programme, and then return the results to a layer? Still, PhotoLine is obviously superior to the Photoshop-alike Affinity Photo, which is in the bracket of: i) same price-range ii) capabilities in plugins and iii) a nice Photoshop-alike UI. An extra $25 may be more than you want to pay to get a couple of old plugins working again, and you may find they now have viable 64-bit versions (I found that to be the case for Primatte). The only drawback is that for a new buyer it would bump the overall price of PhotoLine to nearly $90 including LaunchBox. Getting the little-used old KPT Sky Effects and Xenofex 2 back is an extra bonus. The Nik Tools collection (now called something weird like the DxO Nik Collection) is nice, especially for B&W conversion, but it doesn’t have 55mm DFT’s one-click mists and glows so far as I can see. Thus, another PhotoLine roadblock has been busted! I now have my glows and misty atmospheres back, in the form of Diffuse Glow, Luce, and 55mm DFT. And, again, PhotoLine has a replacement native dust removal tool. This is better used as the standalone, anyway. * The really ancient Polaroid Dust and Scratch Removal as a plugin. Probably there’ something in PhotoLine that will do that too, but I just haven’t found it yet. The only other tool I might miss would be the camera lens distortion rectification. But now longer needed since PhotoLine has a Rectify Tool. Loads but returns mangled output to PhotoLine. When first used it has to be run once in Administrator mode, in order to allow it to drop its licence file in the right place. It still works fine with PhotoLine, dropping down from the usual Filters menu. This is a 64-bit plugin that reliably ‘hosts’ a great many older 32-bit plugins, in either Photoshop or other software that supports plugins. I dug out an old copy of an AlphaPlugins plugin, the now-$25 LaunchBox 2.0. Using the monochrome screen option can be used to simulate old computer monitors, for example.I’m pleased to have found the easy solution to running older plugins in PhotoLine, such as the trusty old 55MM Film Tools and Luce. A wide range of video-like distortions are possible. Makes images appear as if they were displayed on an old television, display device, or computer monitor. You can emulate spaghetti sauce, coffee cup rings, motor oil, sweat and more! Ĭreates a realistic stain effect in the shape of any selection. Įxplodes images and selections into little pieces and shards that fly off the page in a three-dimensional simulation of an exploding surface. Simulates a paper surface being torn, punctured, or blown open. You can knock out pieces of the puzzle, invert connecting nubs, and replace knocked out pieces with color or transparency. Ĭreates a jigsaw puzzle effect over your image, using highlights and shading. The clouds can be rendered with a horizon perspective for use in photos or as tileable two-dimensional clouds that make great backdrops. Ĭreates a wide range of cloud shapes and cloud-like effects, from slight wisps to threatening storm fronts. You can specify beginning and endpoints to steer lightning bolts. Renders realistic arcs of lightning in digital photos and compositions without waiting for a thunderstorm. Flag quickly creates striking banners for the web. Uses shadows and highlights to simulate three-dimensional, windblown fabric or liquid surfaces. You have more control over the number, shape, direction and color of the arcs of electricity. Ĭreates arcs of electricity branching out from a selection, object, or text. Crumple works great on entire images and discrete objects, such as text. Simulates the result of balling up of a flat object, such as a piece of paper, and then flattening it back out. Cracks simulates the fault lines, cracks, erosion or fissures that one might see in an aged solid stone surface.Imagine the constellation effect as an overlay of the original image, where each star takes its color from the image lying beneath. Reconstructs images as starlike points of light. Classic Mosaic is particularly effective because of its edge detecting features. ![]() Ĭonverts any image into a realistic tiled mosaic. Burnt Edges can be used with any selection shape, including text. ![]() Simulates the effect of burning the edges of a piece of paper, or burning a hole into paper, and then putting the flame out. Professional-level special effects have never been easier! Create realistic natural phenomena, complex distortions and other stunning effects in seconds rather than hours.
