New features in version 3.0.

Are you familiar with Knoll 2.0? Version 3.0 introduces a complete redesign of the user interface, with a simplified layout, new functions, a quick Preview Window, and preview thumbnails for light presets. Click here to read about the new and improved features.

Shutterbug review, January 2008.

If you've read the January 2008 version of Shutterbug magazine, you have probably seen their review of Knoll Light Factory. Because reviews are planned months in advance, the review covers version 2.0 of Knoll Light Factory.

The Shutterbug article lists the older version 2.0 at $99.00. Because of the extensive updates and improvements that have been made to version 3.0, we cannot offer that price. We apologize for any inconvenience.

New & improved 3.0 features.

Improving and speeding up the workflow was a major emphasis for version 3.0. The Light Editor has been integrated into a single interface that can be moved and resized to the user’s workspace. We have doubled the shipped presets to get you quickly started. Version 3.0 (unlike 2.0) runs with Photoshop CS3, Intel Macs and Vista machines. Here is an overview of the primary changes between versions 2.0 and 3.0:

•

100+ Light Presets: Over 50 new light presets give you additional pre-made effects that range from naturalistic to dramatic. [more]

•

New User Interface: The UI has been redesigned for ease of use, including previews of light presets and access to editing functions in one window. [more]

•

Real-Time Preview: The main Preview Window now supports real-time manipulation, as well as the ability to resize and zoom in/out.

•

16-bit Color Support: Light effects now render out to higher bit depths, which reduces banding and outputs better looking glows and gradients.

•

Obscuration Layer: Use a grayscale mask to partially obscure the lights, and make more realistic effects when lights are being partially blocked by an object.

•

Tint Layer: Use a separate layer to change the flare color for easier compositing on complex images. [more]

•

Randomize Feature: A Randomize button and slider let users organically discover fun new effects.

•

Undo Functionality: Multi-level undo allows for an improved workflow when designing lights.

•

Compatible with Mac Intel, 64-bit Windows: Support for Intel Macs, Photoshop CS3, and Vista 32- and 64-bit systems.
