Adobe Photoshop receives groundbreaking visual enhancements with the introduction of Optics 2022
New Optics 2022 Photo Editing Plugin Brings Hollywood-Level Special Effects to Photographers
Boris FX has released a new creative photo editing plugin called Optics 2022, making complex visual enhancements more accessible to photographers and artists. This update offers improved performance on Macs with native Apple M1 support and Metal GPU acceleration [1].
Optics 2022 includes over 2000 new presets and features over 170 effects broken into 10 categories, including lens flares, light leaks, glows, gobos, film stocks, and color grades inspired by top films and TV series. Among its most popular effects, it also offers Emmy Award-winning VFX effects from the Boris FX Sapphire collection [2].
The new version of Optics is available as a plugin and standalone application, and customers who purchase Optics receive both the plugin (for Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom) and standalone application for Windows and macOS operating systems. Upgrade from the previous version of Optics to Optics 2022 costs $49 [2].
For those who prefer a subscription model, Optics 2022 offers an annual subscription for $99 and a monthly subscription for $9. A permanent license for Optics 2022, including a 1-year upgrade and support plan, is $149 [2].
Optics 2022 offers an improved user interface with streamlined look, compact sliders, and customizable workspaces. It also introduces a Particle Illusion category for photorealistic particle effects, featuring over 1500 presets with options to control particle size, number, angle, forces, and deflectors [2].
Optics 2022 also offers beauty and portrait retouching tools such as the Beauty Studio filter and Pin Warp tool. It includes a robust masking, paint, and layering system, making it a versatile tool for a wide range of photo editing needs.
If you require precise feature-by-feature details or technical specifications, I recommend checking the official Optics plugin release notes or product pages from the developer, as those were not included in the search results.
