You can choose from a standalone version or choose Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Lightroom or Aperture as the software’s download destination for your photo plug-in version, and if you’re looking for a video/film plug-in version it will run in Adobe After Effects, Final Cut Pro and Avid Editing Systems. It is an editing program all of its own, with masks, paint, levels, selective saturation and sharpen, just to name a few, all with RAW support.

Add to that gel & lighting effects libraries and film stock presets that are based on specific products from Agfa, Fuji, Kodak and Polaroid. Great things come in small packages is a well-know phrase and Tiffen’s recently released new version of their Dfx plug-in, the v3, provides an amazing number of replicated digital optical filters stuffed into one program–2000+ simulated award-winning Tiffen glass filters, specialized lenses, optical lab processes, film grain, exacting color correction, and natural light and photographic effects. But we are now immersed in the digital age, so Tiffen has gathered their many years of knowledge, in collaboration with Digital Film Tools, and applied the same expected quality to their post-process imaging software. Nearly every photographer knows the Tiffen name when they hear it and one immediately thinks of their photo filters and lens accessories.

While preserving the eye, I chose the Dfx v3 Lens/Vignette Filters and the HFX Diffusion/Glimmer Glass Filters and adjusted to my needs with the Parameter settings.
