You can create atmospheric and evocative images in Photoshop too, but Exposure X6 is on your side, while Photoshop isn’t bothered one way or the other. Exposure X6 even incorporates its own image cataloguing and browsing system. These include regular image enhancements and adjustments – Exposure X6 is great as a regular photo editor – but also bokeh effects, light leaks, film grain, borders and textures. This is where Exposure X6 steps in, with a beautiful library of analog film effects you can even ‘audition’, live on the screen, six at a time, all created with a clear and efficient set of non-destructive tools. The problem is the imagining part, especially when it comes to analog film effects. If you can imagine it, Photoshop can do it. The problem with Photoshop is not that it can’t do what you want.
