I have downloaded the demo version of the title filter and having a lot of fun.

Here is one pic taken at Dobroyd (thanks for the spelling correction, Geoff :lol: ) Head on Good Friday.

This is the original:

Appling the Velvia 100F (grain off) filter (tweaked a bit).

And applying one of the infrared filters, more heavily tweaked - I didn't think to do a bit of a comparison of different film filters when I was playing with this shot.

I think it is a great filter, however, for USD200, I am not sure if it is worth it.

C&C welcome.

I assume you're talking about Alien Skin Exposure.

If you're only going to use it for black & white, I suggest you take a look at B&W Styler which is a lot less expensive. It doesn't have many of the presets made for it, but emulating them in it isn't hard as the film types are already identified and loaded... plus it can do Agfa.

Yep, Alien Skin Exposure.

I will have a look at B&W Styler, but I am not sure if I just want it for B&W conversions. I do like the colour film presets, including, for example, Provia. I am a complete newbie with respect to different film types and the advantage of this is that I can play around with different filter presets to determine how [the filter applies] the different films look.
