Andromeda
Series 1
- cMulti and sMulti Filters create versatile circular
or straight, multiple lens, kaleidoscopic effects.
- Designs Filter has 100 single bit textures and
patterns that can be rotated, colored, bent and warped:
a "2
1/2 D" effect impossible to achieve manually!
- Mezzo Line-Screen Filter uses patterned screens
within designs to convert your photo to B & W
mezzo line-art. Ideal for rich illustrations and image
dependent textures.
- Diffract, Prism and Rainbow Filters have versatile
geometric controls to create spectral effects far
easier than any
gradient tool.
- Halo Filter provides controlled highlight diffusion.
Adjust for direction, spread and intensity.
- Reflection Filter provides instant clear pool reflections.
Adjust position, feathering and opacity. A must
for 3D scene creation.
- Star
Filter is the ultimate star design tool
for adding single or multiple bright glints,
sparks,
and glows to
your image.
- Velocity Filter has three unique motion effects.
Multiple ghosting highlight smears and fade-out.
Andromeda
Perspective Filter
A photograph is a flat image (2D) with height and width
but no depth. Perspective Filter can be used to suggest
or introduce the third dimension, depth, experienced in
human vision.
Andromeda Perspective Filter is unique in that it uses
a camera paradigm to introduce depth or perspective.
The user interface provides a dynamic visual interface,
which
inspires creative use. The introduction of this new
plug-in continues Andromeda’s commitment to provide
innovative plug-ins that are distinctive and beneficial.
A "virtual camera" navigational tool in the Perspective
offers a "tilt" and "swing" motion.
The "tilt" movement permits depth-of-field control
of the image plane. Moving the virtual camera right to left
while focused on a stationary position accomplishes the "swing".
The Perspective zoom function also gives the effect
of a dolly, in which the camera moves closer to or away
from
the image. For those looking for a quick and intuitive
perspective tool, Perspective is the one.
Perspective offers the following advantages over other
perspective functions available in image editing programs:
- A "virtual" camera in 3D space.
- View and manipulate your image through a "lens".
- Introduce consistent perspective in multiple images.
- Introduce consistent perspective in string of text
characters.
- Factory preset library with visual display.
- Users can save presets with descriptions for future
use or reference.
- 360 degree rotation of images in any direction.
- The ability to zoom in and out of an image with
ease.

Scatterlight
DreamOptics Lenses for glows; SoftFocus Lenses for
portraiture; SoftDiffuser Lenses for mist and fog; StarLight
Lenses for
glints, sparks and flares.
- DreamOptics -- Gently pulls and scatters light
from highlighted areas to create
dreamy highlights throughout the image.
- SoftFocus -- For softening and refining portraits.
Various optical lens patterns provide professional
soft focus effects
that can range from subtle to dramatic.
- SoftDiffuser -- Softener for images to add diffusion
or fog. The filter offers optical lens patterns
to vary density.
- StarLight -- Focuses light over the brightest areas
of your image to create a starlight effect.
The filter offers
many different optical lens patterns.

Series 3 Screens Filters
"Colouring does not depend on where colors are put,
but where lights and darks are put; where that is wrong,
