You’re also now able to assign custom camera profiles in X5, which is great if you have multiple camera bodies that each produce slightly different RAW image looks. Other handy new features in Exposure X5 include lens correction tools for reducing chromatic aberrations and vignettes.
ALIENSKIN EXPOSURE RAW PROCESSING SKIN
This complex but powerful tool lets you, for instance, tweak skin tones in a portrait while leaving the rest of the shot untouched or adjust the color of a distant sunset while not affecting the foreground of the image. Primarily used for processing RAW images (but also compatible with JPEGs, TIFFs and other formats), Exposure X5 offers a buffet of creative editing tools including some excellent new features such as 3D color masking, which lets you select specific areas of an image to adjust hue, saturation and luminance. One of our favorites is Exposure X5 from Exposure Software (formerly Alien Skin Software).Įxposure X5 is an excellent image editor you can purchase as a perpetual license for just $119 (or $89 as an upgrade from the previous version of Exposure). The good news is there are several cheaper but still solid alternatives to Lightroom that you can own outright for a one-time fee. The imaging software landscape is still dominated by Adobe’s Lightroom and as much as we appreciate that ubiquitous editor and organizer, there are a few things we don’t like: namely, Adobe’s hefty subscription pricing.
