Professional Lighting Effects:
Light
Factory was created by John Knoll, co-author of Adobe Photoshop and a
Visual Effects Supervisor at Industrial Light and Magic. Knoll Light
Factory includes 25 individual lens filters that allow you to design a
wide array of light effects from simple flares to glows to a photon
torpedo.
Tracking at Your Command:
Light Factory
delivers an unprecedented amount of control over the look of your light
effects by combing simple elements like glows, stars, fans and spike
shapes. Each filter has global controls for the brightness, size,
color, and angle of the overall effect.
You can use the
sophisticated auto track control to add a light effect to a point in a
composite. You can also quickly show or hide light effects as the light
source moves behind a layer using the Obscuration control. With Light
Factory 2, the realistic motion blur features have been updated to work
in 16-bit mode.
Light Factory Spectacular - Sparkling Particles:
Light
Factory Spectacular lets you apply light effects to multiple individual
points on a layer. With Light Factory's mult-point locator, applying
glittering and shimmering effects as particles has never been easier.
NOTE: Light Factory Spectacular is not available ElectricImage versions of the product.
