Final Impact Vendor: Cybia Purpose: Series of plug-ins for color correction, black and white conversion, intense coloring, and random color Description Final Impact is a series of Steve Upham’s best plug-in filters for photographers. They aren’t freebies, but are very low-cost. They are: ■ HotShot: Image enhancement and color correction, with 18 sliders and 70 presets ■ RetroGrade: Classic black and white film reproduction (see Chapter 12, “Black and White Conversion”) ■ Fluoron: Vibrant color changes for artistic impact, 11 sliders, 80 presets, with sci-fi effects ■ Alienator: Random color regeneration, ironically with lots of controls plus: ■ Vivida: A free sample filter for boosting image colors, with 9 sliders and 20 presets Comments All the Final Impact plug-ins support RGB 16-bit mode for 48-bit images. Anyone designing a science fiction book jacket would appreciate the intense coloring capability of Fluoron, Alienator, and Vivida. They are all great fun to use and highly recommended.
