PercepTool plugin for Adobe Photoshop

May 29, 2009

Atlantic Light Works has released PercepTool, a tone mapping plugin for Photoshop CS3 and CS4 that attempts to duplicate the brain’s interpretation of light and shade. Developed with photographer George DeWolfe, it takes either mono or color images and re-maps the tone response to offer a more ‘realistic’ rendition with greater depth.

Canon Pro Shutterbug Event V

There are only a handful of these monsters in existence. This is the world’s largest interchangeable SLR AF lens, in terms of both focal length and maximum aperture. Built-to-order by Canon from 1993 to 2005, each lens was hand-crafted at the rate of about 2-per-year. Don’t even think about handholding this lens. Even if you were strong enough to hold the lens up, the balance point of the tripod foot is too far away to reach for support purposes. Holding behind this balance point makes the rig far too front-heavy to balance. So, plan on needing a solid tripod. Who owns this lens? The actual owners list is not large but is not publically known. However, it is hard to use one of these lenses in public without being noticed – and becoming publically known.
Reported owners include Sports Illustrated (owns two), Canon Professional Services (owns two) and National Geographic magazine. You be next?
