Exposure
Described by the vendor as being "the closest thing to film since film," Exposure lets you create practically any film "look," with accurate simulation of the characteristics of film stocks, processing and grain.
From the vendor of Image Doctor and BlowUp, Exposure simulates the look and feel of Velvia, Kodachrome, Ektachrome, Ilford 3200 Delta and many other types of film. It can even simulate stock that has been long discontinued but still lingers in the memories of photographers: such as Ektachrome EES and GAF 500. Whether color film or black and white, Exposure always produces a convincing result. It also offers several manual controls for adjusting color, dynamic range, softness, and grain.
Comment
Exposure is not as comprehensive as Sean Puckett's Bibble plugin Andy, which adds paper characteristics and processing. However, Exposure has 32-bit image support, which means you can work with high dynamic range (HDR) images in an elegant, easy-to-use interface. It has been widely praised by reviewers for its ease of use and accurate rendition of film characteristics.
