For the past several months I’ve been using Perfectly Clear in my workflow to edit my images. I love the product so much I became a Perfectly Clear Evangelist, touring across the US and London, teaching how to quickly process a single or multiple portraits (removing blemishes, smoothing skin, enhancing eyes and fixing exposure), enhancing landscapes and wildlife photos – all in a single click. I’ve become very proficient with the Photoshop and Lightroom plugin, I even created my own custom presets. In each of the presets I created, I noticed I consistently use the exposure section of the plugin. This is one of the most powerful features of the plugin. It’s so powerful, the company has created a Perfect Exposure plugin using the same technology. Here’s the best part, it’s FREE!
What does Perfect Exposure fix?
The Perfect Exposure plug-in fixes exposure problems, add depth, contrast, and soft light to any scene. It comes with eight great presets to solve the most common exposure problems and can bring out the details in any image, even dark photos.
Can’t I fix exposure in Lightroom or Photoshop?
Yes, you can fix exposure in Lightroom or Photoshop, but Perfect Exposure does a much better job plus it fixes a few other problems with a single click.
- Automatic Exposure:Just as your eyes gather light, Perfectly Clear corrects exposure pixel by pixel.
- Vivid Color: Prevents colors from washing out as you fix exposure problems. Colors stay rich and true, never clipping.
- Diffused Light: Get a softer look with beautiful warm tones than can improve any image.
- Great Depth: Perfect Exposure uses patented algorithms that intensifies the dynamic range to add depth.
What image editing programs are supported and where can I get a free copy?
The Plug-in supports Lightroom, Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, and Corel PaintShop Pro. The FREE plugin can be downloaded by visiting Athentech’s website. Once you install and use the plugin, you’ll make it part of your editing workflow, too.
So it is the same as the exposure controls in Perfectly Clear? ( a fab plug in!)
It’s the core exposure tools from Perfectly Clear… a chance for all to get a taste for free. But Perfectly Clear gets an update next week with new Catchlight controls and a bunch of new presets.
Oh boy! Thank you.
Thank you very much for this
When I download this is says that it’s corrupt or invalid? Why is that?
Make sure you’re downloading the correct file for you operating system. If you are, try to clear your browser and re-download. Let us know if that solved the problem
I have just downloaded the free trial version and find that I have only a very limited ‘Adjust’ palette i.e. ‘Corrections’ only.
Is this intentional and, if I purchase the full copy will I then get all the other adjustments?
I am using it with PS CS6.
Thanks
Perfect Exposure is 3 of the 20 controls found in Perfectly Clear. Perfect Exposure is free. Perfectly Clear is $149. It also has a 30 day trial to test out.
I downloaded Perfect Exposure and then Perfectly clear. Are these both trial versions? also, it PExposure free? Do I have to pay for PClear?
Perfect exposure is free. Perfectly Clear, Perfect Eyes, and Perfect Skin is not.
Perfectly Clear AND Perfect Exposure do NOT work at all with the newest version of Lightroom. It’s ridiculously and pathetically slow (nearly impossible) to export using these Plug Ins (and I have 64GB of ram on my machine).
Don’t install until it is fixed to work with the newest version of LR.
I’m not seeing that issue… please be sure to contact [email protected] if you need help.
