FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Andromeda Announces the Release of the ScatterLight Lenses™.

Westlake Village, CA – Andromeda Software Inc. today announced the release of the ScatterLight Lenses™, a powerful new tool for enhancing photographic images. ScatterLight Lenses is a multi-platform, Adobe Photoshop compatible plug-in and is the newest addition to Andromeda’s innovative Photographic Tools and Lens Effects Software Set, created specifically for use by analog and digital camera enthusiasts. More information is available at the company site
www.andromeda.com.

The ScatterLight Lenses produce a broad scope of realistic patterned and diffusion lens effects ranging from subtle soft focus effects most often seen in professional portraiture and landscapes, to more dramatic effects that scatter and focus light over the brightest areas of an image.

ScatterLight Lenses allow the user to apply and manipulate professional lens effects using templates supplied within the Filter. The templates define the patterns used to scatter or focus the light from the image creating effects which are normally achieved using high quality specialty camera lenses or filters.

Andromeda ScatterLight Lenses has 4 distinct effects categories: 

  • DreamOptic lens effects range from subtle to dramatic. They refine the richness and texture of your images and add a soft dreamy glow to landscapes and stills.
  • SoftFocus lens effects provide varying degrees of overall softening and refinement most often seen in professional portraiture.
  • StarLight lens effects focus light over the brightest areas of your image to create starlight effects. The Filter offers many different star patterned templates. Most dramatic when used with images with focused points of light.
  • Soft Diffuser lenses for more extreme fog and mist effects

"ScatterLight adds a professional quality and richness to photographs that would otherwise be ordinary. This new plug-in should be on every digital photographers wish list," said Lou Ann Barbeau, product manager for Andromeda Software, Inc.

Physical and digital download versions will be available through, www.andromeda.com.
