One of the most discussed novelties within OS X El Capitan is the possibility of applying third-party image editing extensions within the application. These extensions improve the editing capabilities incorporated into photos, helping to achieve a more "professional" work.
The developer MacPhun offers us on this occasion a "kit" made up of a series of apps at a discounted price and that also integrate their respective plug-in for photos and thus bring the capabilities of the default application in OS X El Capitan to the possibilities of Aperture or Lightroom. Let's take a look at the included apps.
INTESTIFY PRO: This plug-in will give your photographs a greater dynamic range, intensifying the contrast and achieving more clarity in many details that may have previously gone unnoticed. To achieve this, the plug-in uses its own tools to selectively improve the contrast, details and base of the photo, giving the possibility of reviewing the histogram and a vignette mode. It also includes more than 60 presets that cover a wide variety of predefined actions such as enhancing dark photos, automatic enhancement ...
Tonality Pro: Certain black and white images are very aesthetic, however it takes some skill to get a good shot and the correct "tonality". This software gives us dozens of professional presets, 16 bit RAW processing, controls for clarity, structure… somehow people relate to them, but getting the most of the images you take requires skill - and tonality. The software provides dozens of professional presets, 16-bit RAW processing, and adjustments to add clarity and better composition to your photo.
Noiseless Pro: Digital images often have a little noise in the image. Noisless manages to improve this, it manages to automatically identify noise and reduce it with a series of additional tools to reach the perfect balance between definition and noise reduction. Even MacPhun claims that they have added a special algorithm to enhance the images taken by different iPhone models.
Snapheal Pro: Improve the photograph by eliminating elements that we do not want to be seen in it in an almost "magical" way through a previous selection of the image or the area that we want.
Focus: Here we find tools that allow us to focus on certain areas of the capture after having taken it with effects such as lens blur, movement or the so-called tilt-shift. This gives us the possibility of being able to recreate it by software without having to spend more for additional hardware equipment.
FX-Studio: With this plug-in we will have more high-quality photographic filters and effects than almost any other similar photography software. We will have a wide variety of options such as pencil drawing, a kind of 3-D image solution, oil painting or as if it were graphite ... In short, a variety of effects that, although they integrate free applications, are not so well finished or achieve the same result as FX Studio.
The price of this kit is 99,99 Euros, quite reduced if we consider that if the applications were purchased separately we could reach up to 504 Euros.
