HDR Efex Pro takes all of the calculations and effort out of merging multiple exposures to produce dramatic HDR photos with stunning and natural-looking results. Although many HDR photos involve multiple exposures, sometimes you might want that HDR look but only have one image to work with. With HDR Efex Pro an advanced tone-mapping algorithm can expand the dynamic range of a single image to produce that classic HDR look. It’s the perfect tool for adding drama to your favorite landscape shots. Like other plugins in the Nik Collection 3, HDR Efex Pro includes exclusive U POINT technology for applying precise local adjustments of the plugin.Starting Price: $99.99 one-time payment -

Graphic
Picta
Unlike bitmap drawing applications, which focus on editing the individual pixels of an image, vector designs are created using objects and paths. Vector paths, consisting of points, lines, and curves, can be painted and filled. Multiple paths can be used together to create detailed intricate objects, while multiple objects can then be arranged to create a larger design. A vector image remains crisp when enlarged, without any loss of quality. A bitmap version of the same image loses quality when enlarged. When launching Graphic for the first time, you will be presented with the Documents Browser displaying a few sample documents. Tap any document to open it. When objects are selected, the fill and stroke color wells update to the colors used by those objects. Changing the fill or stroke colors while objects are selected will change the objects’ colors. Besides colors, gradients and patterns, objects can be filled with images. Even text objects can be filled with images. -
27

Photo-realistic 3D textures, combined with bump effects and custom fonts, guarantee a natural look for your style. Control 3D appearance with thickness, depth, and light direction properties, and rotate the text in all dimensions. -
