What’s new in Dfx v2.0.2.1?

Fixes and Changes

Multiprocessing Problem – After Effects versions

If the After Effects Multiprocessing preference was set to “Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously”, Dfx would render dots over the image when doing a Ram Preview or when the frames were rendered.

Black and White Looks / Color Looks – Photoshop versions

In Black and White Looks and Color Looks, the Lab > Bleach Saturation slider when moved in the negative direction caused noise.

Memory Usage and Speed Enhancements – Photoshop versions

Significant improvements have been made in regards to memory usage and speed enhancements when dragging parameter sliders.

Filter Changes – All Versions

Light

A Subtract blend mode has been added to the Light > Blend menu. This allows you to use the light patterns to add shadow instead of light.

Light > GamColor Presets have been renamed to Gels.

The Light > Displacement algorithm was re-written.

Shapes have been categorized according to their series.

Shape > Gam Pattern has been renamed to Category.

The Shape group has been renamed to Gobo.

Nude/FX

Nude/FX has been moved to the HFX Grads/Tints category.

Rack Focus

A Threshold parameter has been added to limit the amount of out-of-focus points of light.

Vari-Star

A Threshold parameter has been added to limit the amount of stars.

Saturation

Saturation algorithm has been improved in all filters.

New Filters |

Ambient Light

Ambient creates light without a defined source and contributes to the overall brightness of a scene without casting shadows.

Close-Up Lens

Simulates close-up lenses that allow you to zoom in extra close using high quality digital filtering.

Dot

Dots are circular lighting control devices used to create shadow areas on a motion picture or photographic set. This concept has been extended to a digital flag so that areas of the image can be selectively darkened.

Eye Light

Creates a targeted light to be placed around a person’s eyes.

Flag

Flags are rectangular lighting control devices used to create shadow areas on a motion picture or photographic set. This concept has been extended to a digital flag so that areas of the image can be selectively darkened.

Gobo

Gobo is similar to the Light filter except it uses Rosco gels and gobo patterns. The Rosco range presently includes over 1300 standard gobo designs in the following categories: Breakups, Foliage Breakups, Trees & Flowers, Abstract, Graphics, Graphics & Grills, Rotation, Symbols & Signs, World Around Us, Churches & Heraldics, Windows, Doors & Blinds, Boundaries & Wildlife, Clouds & Sky, Water & Sky, Fire & Ice, Architectural & Retail, Occasions & Holidays and Text.

HFX® Star

Exciting and dazzling star effects are generated from original point or reflected light sources with the added glitter and sparkle of these exclusive, natural looking asymmetrical designs and shapes. Great for water scenes, candle flames, street lights and more.

Haze

Reduces excessive blue by absorbing UV light and eliminates haze which tends to wash out color and image clarity.

High Contrast

Creates an extreme high contrast image.

Ice Halos

Ice halos are created when small ice crystals in the atmosphere generate halos by reflecting and refracting light. Most notably, circles form around the sun or moon as well as rare occurrences when the entire sky is painted with a web of arcing halos.

Rainbow

Recreates arced rainbows of spectral colors, usually identified as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, that appear in the sky as a result of the refractive dispersion of sunlight in drops of rain or mist.

Sepia

Creates a warm brown tone for that nostalgic feeling.

Sky

Reduces UV light, haze and is pink tinted for added warmth and better colors. It is especially useful for images shot in outdoor open shade and on overcast days.

Soft Contrast

Soft Contrast diminishes highlights while retaining the darker look of the shadows.

Soft Light

Provides soft, digitally diffused and virtually shadowless light.

Warm Center Spot

Combines the benefits of Center Spot with a warming filter making it ideal for portraits and skintones.

Warm Polarizer

Combines the benefits of the Polarizer with a warming filter making it ideal for portraits and scenics.

Water Droplets

Simulates the circular, rainbow colored optical effects produced by tiny water droplets in clouds, mist and fog.

Wide Angle Lens

Simulates the effect of a wide angle lens.

812® Warming

The 812® Warming filter, a Tiffen exclusive, improves skintones and is ideal for portraits taken on a cloudy day or in outdoor shade on a sunny day.
