For reference, I tested the application on an M1 Mac Mini with 16GB of RAM and while I didn’t have any real problems, the app still froze up on me a few times or slowed everything down to a snail’s pace while some of the SFX rendered into a new layer in Photoshop. ![]() It should be noted that this application is very resource-heavy, which means you will need a decent computer to run the application smoothly. The app can be used as a stand-alone photo editor or as a plugin from Photoshop or Lightroom which gives a nice level of creative freedom to use it in whatever workflow you prefer. The collection has everything from optical glass camera filter simulations and lens flares to film stocks, famous film color grades, and even a large selection of Emmy Award-winning video filters, all adapted for still images. Leveraging the tools seen in the likes of Game of Thrones and Stranger Things or even huge productions like Avengers: End Game is possible here, as the Optics team has ported many of these animated SFX over for still photographers and tailored specifically for photos.Īs mentioned, Optics 2022 comes with over 170 filters that have thousands of customizable presets in each with a plethora of subcategories. While Boris FX is kind of a household name in the film industry it is far less familiar among photographers.
