The best creative photo editor has gotten even better!
Today we released Exposure X5, a huge step forward in creativity and efficiency. It includes many improvements that make Exposure even more essential for creating artistic photos.
Here are some of the exciting new features:
- 3D Color Masking – Precisely control where an image adjustment is applied. Rendering can be limited to areas defined by specific color characteristics, including hue, saturation, and luminance. Easily target foreground or background areas, skies, skin tones, specific color ranges, and more with just a few clicks. The improved masking tools integrate seamlessly with Exposure’s existing brushes and gradients for even more flexibility.
- Chromatic Aberration Correction – Removes color fringes caused by lens refraction. Apply via lens profile or by manual adjustment if precise control is desired.
Fringe Removal – Chromatic aberration correction is complemented by a new tool for full-featured fringe removal, enabling precise removal of even the most noticeable fringe problems. - Vignette Correction – Counteracts unwanted darkening around the edges of photos. Apply via lens profile or by manual adjustment for greater control.
Custom Camera Profiles – Assign custom camera profiles that enable you to control the interpretation of color from RAW data for a particular camera. Camera profiles created by X-Rite or other software can be automatically applied by matching a camera model or serial number, and can optionally match a particular lens or ISO range. - New light and airy presets
- New season inspired looks
- New complementary color presets – Orange/Teal, Red/Green, and Purple/Yellow
- More black & white films – Ilford FP4 Plus, Ilford Pan F Plus, Kodak Recording 2475, and Polaroid Chocolate
- New image flip options
- Support for grayscale TIFF and JPEG images
- Multiple user interface language options – English, French, and German

Amazing update!
One thing about 3D masking that maybe you can work on for next update is how it should work across layers.
For example, if I wanted to replace the sky I select the sky with the color constraint, make changes and looks amazing. Now, if I wanted to duplicate the layer to work on the bottom of the photo, for buildings or landscape, if I invert the Mask produced by the color constraint, the mask would be different on the sky and it will not mask the sky completely like I have on the first layer, because the stuff was already already changed from the original layer and then the colors are not the same as the first layer.
This is the way it should work since it is a color constraint, so it does a great way so it can do multiple photos like you showcased in your video about color of the skin, but it seems like not all photos need that feature enable all the time. Maybe find a way to transform the color constraint in a normal mask? or maybe a button to bypass the color constraint so it can only grab the photo without any changes? so the user decides when to use what and be able to invert masks and multiple layers without problems.
It is a great update! so congratulations. Next step in masking should be to make the brush smarter to pick similar colors to make it easier to select objects and maybe masking with shapes. But the color constraint is a great feature to have! I hope it can be improved so it can be used on any photo and any layer and works in any user needs.
Thanks for the feedback, Emi. I’ll make sure the design team hears your suggestions about masking improvements.
