Re: [Digital BW] Grain in digital

2006-05-03 by Andrew Darlow

Hi there John and asch:

I also like Exposure a lot. It has the ability to create a nice 
"clumpy Tmax grain look," and all adjustments can be put on a 
separate layer, and saved with custom settings. I also really like 
the large Alien Skin preview windows.

I was interviewed about my tests of Exposure on Inside Mac Radio 
(March 25th 2006 show). There was a little mixup in the audio about 
pricing, which is $199, or $99 if you own certain other Alien Skin 
titles.

If you'd like to listen to the segment, the easiest way to listen is 
by going to this page http://www.podcastpickle.com/casts/768/ and 
downloading the .m4a file where it reads: "Get this episode: Click 
here to download", then just drop it into Apple iTunes. You can also 
subscribe to the Podcast and download it in a "Podcatcher"  like 
iTunes.  My segment is about 1 hour into the show.

There is a link to a 10% discount on most of Alien Skin's purchases 
on my site, http://www.imagingbuffet.com (right side). This is a 
referral link, so a percentage of any purchases using the discount 
will be paid to me if the discount link is used.

All the best,
