Tiffen DFX Digital Filter Suite finally arrives as free trial download


Tiffen, the manufacturer of the award-winning glass optical filters of choice in the demanding motion picture industry, has released Dfx, the eagerly anticipated digital filter software suite which will enable both still and movie enthusiasts to access within one comprehensive package accurate simulations of up to 1000 filters, including virtually the full range of Tiffen glass effects filters, industry standard gels, specialised lenses, optical lab processes, film grain, matte generation, colour correction natural light and photographic effects.
The culmination of years of collaborative research with renowned software designers Digital Film Tools who were responsible for the intuitive, streamlined, user-friendly interface, Tiffen Dfx is compatible with the latest versions of Mac OSX , Windows XP and Vista (minimum processor speeds and installed RAM apply) with either 8 or 16 bit processing and will initially be obtainable as either a free 15 day trial or a full featured download to purchase.

Now you can expand your creativity and transform your images with genuine Hollywood style effects such as Glimmerglass specified by many leading ladies as it softens, reduces contrast and imparts a silver sparkle to skin tones and Ultra Contrast which controls excessive contrast-revealing shadow detail in bright sunlit exteriors and of course there’s regular standbys such as Polarizer to reduce reflections and darken skies and Neutral Density Grads to boost the dynamic range of digital files - all now available at the click of a mouse!
Moreover, Tiffen Dfx allows for an almost infinite range of precision adjustments within each effect, which would not be feasible with the glass equivalents.

Tiffen Dfx is currently available in three different configurations; as a full stand alone application and as leading ‘application specific’ plug-ins for either still imaging (inc. Adobe Photoshop & Elements) or video post-production (inc. Final Cut Pro for Mac, Adobe After Effects and Premiere and Avid editing programs.).

For a free 15 day trial download of Tiffen Dfx , simply log on to the Tiffen website - www.tiffen.com

Boxed versions, with bonus additions of Rosco and Gam colour gel swatches, will be rolled out shortly in the UK and will be available from leading digital/photo outlets.
