Flexible Controls
Control the gain, gamma, pedestal, hue and saturation of your images. Work in HSL, RGB, CMY, or YCbCr color spaces. Control the overall image, or work with individual color channels. Flexibility is the key to getting just the look you want, and flexibility is what Color Finesse offers with its myriad controls and tools. Individually adjustable color channel curves (both RGB and HSL) let you define exactly how color levels will be processed. Levels control determine input and output black, white, and gray points.
Secondary Color Correction
Want to change the color of a scarf or punch up a bland gray sky? Color Finesse's six-channel secondary color corrector allows you to isolate up to six separate colors which can be adjusted for hue, saturation, and hue offset. Each of the six channels defines a color range based on up to four color samples with settable luma and chroma tolerance, and a range softness control, allowing you to easily isolate colors without harsh edges.
Single Button Color Correction
Color Finesse 3's Auto-Color and Auto-Exposure buttons give one-click access to your color correction starting point, eliminating color casts, improper white balance, and establishing your black and white points.
Automated Color Matching
Need to match the color in one frame to a color in another frame? Color Finesse provides single-button color matching to provide natural-looking color matches without fiddling.
Smart Color Limiting and Soft-Clip
Color Finesse's 32-bit floating-point color space allows you to make radical changes in color and luma levels without clipping, but before final output you'll need to bring things back into range. Color Finesse provides accurate luma soft-clipping, as well as color limiting to meet broadcast standards.
Grading Suite Tools
Color Finesse provides the monitoring tools you would expect to find in a grading suite, including waveform monitor, vectorscope, histograms, and correction curve displays. Displays are available individually or in a convenient combination display.
Plug-in User Interface
The plug-in user interface gives you access to the most commonly used correction controls directly in the host application. Available controls include HSL and RGB corrections, the hue offset wheels, curves, the auto-correction buttons, and the broadcast limiter.
You don't need to invoke the full Color Finesse UI just to make simple changes, although it's always there when you want it.
High-Performance Correction
Color correction is important, but no one has all day to wait for it. That's why Color Finesse is optimized for use on multi-processor systems, and takes full advantage of the SSE instructions on Intel processor systems.
And as a software color corrector, Color Finesse 3 doesn't require a specific video card, specific type of slot, or limit you to workstation-style systems with multiple monitors. Use Color Finesse on a laptop, on a desktop system, or anything else you'd like.
Preview and Reference Options
While making your color corrections, Color Finesse previews your results with options for split-screen wipes to easily compare before-and-after images. The split can be done at any angle to make it easy to compare the part of the image that matters to you.
A reference gallery of images make it easy to compare frames from different scenes to accomplish color matching.
Previews can be directed to a second computer monitor for full size previews, or sent to an external video monitor via a video output device, including Blackmagic Design, AJA Kona (Mac only), and nVidia Quadro SDI (Windows only).

Submitted on 2016-08-08 Review title of DonaldNot terrible, but not amazingThe game was fun on PC being at the time, the only GTA Online like game out there. But the game has flaws, the frame rate is atrocious often dropping to 2-5 FPS, driving is clunky, combat is a mindless spray fest with cover being almost useless, it is also semi P2W (in game rentals vs fully purchased guns w real money are permanent), no day/night cycle.

Standard is the same workspace as in previous versions of After Effects. Essentials is now the default workspace. The layout is similar to Standard, except that the panels on the right side of the workspace are in a stacked panel group. Small Screen is optimized for low-resolution displays such as projectors, and for devices like tablets (which are high-resolution but small-screen devices).The remaining workspaces are available in the workspace bar's overflow menu.You can customize the width of the bar by dragging the vertical divider between the tool and the workspace bars.For more information, see. New in After Effects CC 2015 November 2015This release of After Effects introduces an improved caching behavior, which replaces the earlier Preview Favors controls.After Effects renders and caches frames until the cache is full, after which the caching stops. After Effects no longer has an option to cache where preview continues indefinitely by discarding the oldest cached frames.The new caching behavior stores the screen display cache only for a short duration ahead of the Preview Time Indicator, compared to the earlier mode of keeping the screen display cache for all cached frames. The screen display cache is a secondary cache that transforms the frames for display on the screen.After Effects provides you a new Cache Before Playback option in this release.

If you enable the option, After Effects caches frames before starting playback. This behavior is similar to how RAM Preview behaved in the earlier versions of After Effects. However, frames are not displayed to the Composition, Layer, or Footage panel as they are cached.For more information, see.

New in After Effects CC 2015 June 2015After Effects CC 2015 now includes face tracking capabilities. You can detect and track human faces with exceptional accuracy by managing the level of detail you track.Simple mask tracking lets you quickly apply effects only to a face, such as selective color correction or blurring a person’s face, and more.

However, with Face Tracking, you can also track specific points on the face such as pupils, mouth, and nose, allowing you to isolate and work on these facial features with greater detail. For example, change colors of the eyes or exaggerate mouth movements without frame-by-frame adjustments.Face Tracking also lets you extract and copy facial measurements. Tracking of facial measurements tells you details such as how open the mouth is and how open each eye is. You can also export detailed tracking data to Adobe Character Animator for performance-based character animation.For more information, see.

New in After Effects CC 2015 June 2015Adobe Character Animator (Preview), a companion application, tracks your facial movements, records a voice over, and even triggers bodily movement with simple keyboard actions and automated features that give life to characters you create in Illustrator or Photoshop. When you talk, your character talks. When you feign surprise, so does your character. When you’re grumpy, your character is too.Adobe Character Animator is for two different types of artists: those who want to rig complex characters without creating a confusing tangle of expressions, and those who just want to create simple characters easily.

Either way, once the character is set up in Photoshop or Illustrator, Adobe Character Animator brings it to life. It does this by users acting out a performance in front of their webcam and talking into their microphone.For more information, see. Enhanced in After Effects CC 2015 June 2015There are significant architectural code changes in After Effects CC 2015 release that allow the user interface and image rendering to be processed separately by the CPU.

The following improvements are a direct result of these changes:. The user interface is now much more responsive as it no longer needs to wait for frames to finish rendering. Conversely, frames can continue to render while you work with the user interface. This responsiveness makes for a smoother interaction with the user interface at all times.

Far fewer instances of delays or beach ball during a Preview. You can now interrupt or cancel frame renders by making a change to the composition. Fast scrubbing, even when the frames take a long time to render. Faster image caching.

More efficient evaluation of expressions. Previews continue to play back while After Effects is in the background. Enhanced in After Effects 2015 June 2015Evaluation of expressions in After Effects has been significantly enhanced. Overall, you may find that expressions are evaluated faster; the improvement will vary depending on the expression.When an expression fails to evaluate, there are two major changes:. Expression errors appear in a warning banner at the bottom of the Composition panel instead of in a dialog box. The expression is not disabled. The expression will continue to evaluate and will display the warning banner until the problem with the expression is fixed.On the right side of the expression error warning banner are Left, Down, and Right arrow buttons:.

Click the Left or Right arrow buttons to display the previous or next expression error when multiple expressions fail to evaluate. Click the Down arrow to display the property with the failing expression in the Timeline panel. The expression error text is clipped to the width of the Composition panel.

To see the full expression error in a dialog box, click on the yellow error triangle icon for the expression in the Timeline panel. Several changes have been made to how panel groups work. No tab well for single panels - When there is only one panel in a panel group, the tab well does not appear. You can still drag other panels into the tab row to dock them in that panel group. Menu instead of scroll bar - When there are more panel tabs than that will fit in the width of a panel group, a menu ( ) appears on the right side of the tab well instead of a scroll bar. You can choose a tab from the tab well.

Panel Group Settings submenu - In panel menus, panel group commands have been moved to the Panel Group Settings submenu:. Close Panel Group. Undock Panel Group. Maximize Panel Group. Close Other Panels In Group: In panel menus, there is a new command to close other panels in the same group. Enhanced in After Effects CC 2015 June 2015Cineware 2.0.16 for After Effects includes the following enhancements:. CINEMA 4D Layers are no longer automatically synchronized - When adding multiple instances of a CINEMA 4D scene layer in a composition, including adding Multi-Pass layers, Cineware no longer automatically synchronizes CINEMA 4D Layers.

You will see an on/offcheckbox at the top of the Effect Controls panel that has been relabeled to Synchronize AE Layer. When this preference is enabled, the Render Settings and Camera options on all instances of the layer will automatically synchronize as before, but CINEMA 4D layers can be set independently. If this checkbox is disabled for a specific CINEMA 4D scene layer, then none of that layer's settings will synchronize with the rest of the layers in the composition. Updated CINEMA 4D Layers dialog window - 'Non-Layer Items' has been renamed 'Items not on Layers'. By unchecking this setting, all objects that are not associated with any CINEMA 4D Layers will be turned off. Resizable dialog windows - The CINEMA 4D Layers and Cineware Settings dialogs have been updated so they can be resized as needed.
