FocalPoint 2 Premium Edition Software (CD/DVD-ROM) Overview

This is the CD/DVD-ROM version of FocalPoint 2 Premium Edition Software from onOne Software. It is part of their Perfect Photo Suite 7 Premium software package and enables creative effects. Simulate the look of expensive lenses post-shot. Create realistic selective focus and depth-of-field effects you would think could only be done in-camera.

The intuitive Focus Bug control makes it easy to position your focal point and create blur. You can even customize your blur, setting the size, shape, type and amount you'd like. Additionally, you're now able to use multiple Focus Bugs to define multiple points you want to keep in focus. The Focus Brush lets you paint focus or blur< precisely where you desire. Tools help you manage the strength of highlights, brightness and contrast in bokeh. Presets have been improved, as well, and it's now possible to use FocalPoint 2 as a Smart Filter in Photoshop CS3-CS6

FocalPoint works just fine as a standalone product, or can be integrated seamlessly into your Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Lightroom or Apple Aperture workflow. It is compatible with both Mac and Windows operating systems.

Want to shoot at f/1.2 or even f/2.8 to get that soft background but don't have the lens? Get the same effect with FocalPoint 2, where you can Simulate The Look Of those lenses after you take the shot. Create Realistic selective Focus and Depth-Of-Field Effects you would think could only be done in camera with FocalPoint 2. Choose from a selection of lens presets to produce a specific bokeh or adjust controls to adjust the amount and kind of blur you want. You can even paint in sharpness or blur exactly where you want. It has never been easier or faster to focus your viewer's eye and minimize distractions
Easy-to-Use Controls
Position your focal point and create your blur with the Focus Bug, an easy-to-use control with the most commonly used options. Use the Bug to set the Size, Shape, Type And Amount Of Blur, and the hardness of the blur edge. Create your look in fluid, real time-just as you would control a lens on your camera. You can even tilt your Focus Bug in 3D, creating swing and tilt movements just like a tilt-shift lens
Fast Glass Presets and Lens Simulator
Produce a bokeh, or out-of-focus region, in your image using new lens presets that are built into FocalPoint 2 to simulate effects created by highly desired, expensive lenses. The updated blur algorithm used in FocalPoint 2 closely matches actual lens blur to create authentic out-of-focus looks, including aperture-shaped highlights. The new blur algorithm is so accurate that realistic depth of field changes can be created that look just like they were taken in the camera
Add Multiple Points of Focus
By popular demand, FocalPoint 2 now allows you to use multiple Focus Bugs to define the areas you want to keep in focus. You can combine them to create complex shapes or to highlight multiple subjects
Focus Brush
Paint focus or blur right where you want with the new Focus Brush in FocalPoint 2. Use it to touch up the shape of a Focus Bug or manually paint anywhere you want. Use it with a Wacom Tablet for even greater control. It's easy to create realistic depth of field with even difficult foreground subjects
Highlight Bloom, Brightness, and Contrast Controls
Along with the existing film grain controls, FocalPoint 2 adds a new highlight bloom tool which controls how strong highlights are in the bokeh, or blurred area. There are also new brightness and contrast controls for the bokeh
Improved Vignettes
Reduce distractions and focus the viewer's eye with classic vignettes. The vignette controls in FocalPoint 2 have been improved to allow for a more natural, edge-only vignette, as well as the option to overlay the vignette in order to preserve detail
Improved Presets
Embedded previews now make it even easier to select the preset you want to use with your image, whether you're working directly in FocalPoint 2 or from the integrated Lightroom and Aperture palettes. FocalPoint 2 also automatically saves your last six used settings as recently-used presets, so you can easily reproduce previous settings
Works As a Smart Filter
FocalPoint 2 can now be used as a Smart Filter in Photoshop CS3-CS6, allowing you to make non-destructive, re-editable blurs and vignettes on Smart Objects like RAW files
Works Where You Do
FocalPoint 2 integrates seamlessly into your workflow, no matter what tools and software you use. It works as a plug-in to Photoshop and Photoshop Elements or with Lightroom or Aperture. You can also use the program as a standalone application
