AMAZING COREL DRAW BRUSHESWritten by BLUR LOTERIÑA
Buena Software introduces another plug-in for after effect, Au Naturel. Au Naturel is a set of seven built-in effects. Effects include adjust exposure effect, levels effect, Gaussian Blur effect, Directional Blur effect, transform effect, composite effect and time lapse effect.Au Naturel’s Gaussian blur is better than that of discreet Combustion’s built in Gaussian blur because it works in 32 bit floating point linear RGB color space. Meaning result is more natural. The blur effect can be applied with either a single or all of channels. If you want to constrain blur to a particular angle use Directional Blur effect. With this effect, changing frame edges is not a problem. You can even imitate edge pixel. The adjust exposure effect is basically regulating of f-stop of footage. F-stop is opening of lens. If you are holding a camera, you need to adjust opening of lens to capture dark or bright scenes. The same with images in computers, you can adjust scene of an image. For a better result in changing scenes, highlight should be brighter and shadow should be darker. Au Naturel gives you this kind of result without affecting quality of image. The Levels effect is just applications levels control. The only difference is that in Au Naturel you are allowed to use values beyond minimum and maximum pixel value range. In other words, you can set levels without limitations. These values can also be preserved.
