DECEMBER 04, 2003 Digital Film Tools 55MM 3.0
In the category of photographic effects and lab processes, the filters are far more varied. These range from the simple (yet highly effective) Bleach Bypass, which simulated the lab technique of bypassing the bleach in color processing, to more complex effects, such as Faux Film, Night Vision, Infrared and others.  [an error occurred while processing this directive]It also includes a number of lens effects. These include photographic filters, such as the polarizing filter (seen in the example above) and Star (seen in the example below). And it includes Ozone, which, along with Light!, is one of the two more complex plugins in the suite. Ozone is designed to emulate the Zone System, but as a post process, with support for black and white and full-color images. It takes an image and divides it into 11 editable zones based on any of a number of characteristics--luminance, hue, saturation, average or individual color channels--allowing you to adjust that zone's characteristics, as seen below.  Presumably, with skill that I apparently do not possess, you should be able to use this filter to take any ordinary photograph and turn it into an Ansel Adams-style instant masterpiece. But then, I got a B in Photo 101, so don't expect too much from me! Of course, whether you're trying to emulate Ansel Adams' work or not, Ozone does work on several other levels, including making simple tonal adjustments on select portions of your image or even adjusting shadows and highlights to bring out details in specific regions of your image with controls that are different from those found in the Shadow/Highlight feature introduced in Photoshop CS.
