Extensive Range of Versatile Photographic Effects
PhotoTools 2 is a fast way to add a professional look to your photos in Photoshop. With PhotoTools 2, you can preview, stack and combine effects to produce professional grade results in just a few clicks. PhotoTools 2 reproduces camera filters like neutral density, colour correction and polarisation as well as film and darkroom techniques such as paper toners and alternative processes. You can even simulate the look of different films with a wide range of grain and contrast effects. You can also save an effects "recipe" as a preset and use it not only with Photoshop, but also with Lightroom 2 and Aperture 2.1. Whether you are a professional photographer or an amateur, your workflow just got a lot easier with PhotoTools 2.

Stack Effects
The real power of PhotoTools 2 is its ability to stack multiple effects, just like using multiple camera lens filters. You can stack up to 16 effects on top of each other, creating your own unique look. For example, you could start by adding an auto color and tone adjustment to your image, then add a polarising filter, graduated neutral density, golden hour enhancer and finish it off with a dark vignette. You have complete control over the strength of each effect and can seamlessly blend them together, just like adjusting opacity in Photoshop. You can also use the new Masking Brush to selectively paint-in or paint-out each effect in your stack. By stacking and combining effects, you can create an endless variety of custom effects and corrections.

Easy to Learn, Easy to Use
Like all onOne Software products, PhotoTools 2 is easy to use with a modern user interface and friendly controls. You can start enhancing images immediately with just a few clicks. To help you master even the most advanced features, there are over a dozen built-in video tutorials and a handy searchable help system. For even more information, we offer additional video tutorials on our website, free weekly webinars, and user-to-user forums.

Effects Library
The new Effects Library in both the Standard and Professional editions of PhotoTools 2 makes it easier to find just the right effects. The new library consolidates the categories, effects list, previews, descriptions and options into one location with a logical workflow. You can even mark your favorite effects and presets so you can find them quickly. There are also several new search methods to help you find the perfect effect.

Designed by photographers for photographers, PhotoTools 2 includes dozens of new effects like Vintage and Paint-in effects as well as dozens of improvements to existing effects. PhotoTools 2 Professional Edition expands upon the Standard Edition with 112 additional photographic effects developed by professional photographers.

Masking Controls
New in PhotoTools 2 is the ability to selectively apply each effect in the PhotoTools stack. Users can use the new Masking Brush to selectively apply each effect to the image, just like using a layer mask in Photosop to hide or reveal the effect in specific areas of the image. The Masking Brush even supports pressure-sensitive Wacom tablets for the ultimate control.

Video Support
Photographers can now use PhotoTools 2 on short video clips inside of Photoshop CS3 Extended and Photoshop CS4 Extended. Imagine the power of adding your favorite PhotoTools 2 effect or stack of effects to your videos.

Vastly speed up your production with the ability to batch process files with multiple output formats (such as TIFF and JPEG) of differing sizes (for print or web), color spaces (again for print or web), names and even add watermarks. Now its easy to prepare small jpgs from your raw files for the web or presentations with your custom look added.
