Autofx Mystical Lighting 1.06 For Photoshop

Aplikacja jest bardzo użytecznym modułem dodatkowym do Photoshopa. Filtr Lighting Effects, który jeszcze jakiś czas temu był dodawany do produktu firmy Adobe i zapewniał kilka efektów oświetlenia, jest już niepotrzebny. Jednak narzędzie Mystical Lighting w dalszym ciągu zapewnia bardziej rozbudowany niż w Photoshopie zestaw elementów, służących do tego celu.
Aplikacja umożliwia importowanie obrazów i stosowanie 16 efektów oświetlenia - zarówno podstawowych (takich jak Lens Flare lub Spotlight), jak i bardziej skomplikowanych (na przykład Rainbow, Wispy Mist lub Fairy Dust). Dzięki rozbudowanemu sposobowi sterowania możliwe jest tworzenie własnych efektów. Dlatego należy na obrazie umieścić ścieżkę, która decyduje o sposobie stosowania efektu. Tęcza nie musi mieć postaci zwykłego łuku - można dowolnie zmieniać jej kształt i kolory, a także zmieniać sposób rozmywania na początku i na końcu.
