That’s an interesting idea. I’ll pass this feature request to our design team.

Exposure already supports metadata tagging and filtering of video files. We’d like to add video thumbnails and are doing some design planning in this area. I’ll add your request for this feature to our notes.

Jimmy. I just downloaded X6 trial then the X7 trial. i am a bit surprised that there is zero video support. Like Hisa.H said above just showing a tumbnail of the file would be great. being able to apply tagging features to that file would be stellar. I so badly want to get away from Adobe. Exposure X7 is sooooooooo close. Please put my vote in for X8 having video support.

Thanks for commenting. We are actively working on adding support for the Sony ZV-1, but it’s not ready just yet. For the time being, you can convert the images to DNG so Exposure can read those files. You can include the DNG conversion process as part of ingesting images while they copy from your camera card.

I bought the Exposure X6 because it has organising features linked to import but it’s a joke that I have to use Imaging Edge from Sony to be able to see those files.

Thanks for the comments, Gary. There are not any facial recognition features making planned for Exposure X7. There are a few adjustments being made behind the scenes that will change the processing. Mainly the changes will be noticeable in color fidelity. There are also new tools to retain fine texture and fix hot pixels, which are delicate processes but can still change how images appear.

That’s not the correct behavior. It sounds like something may be going wrong on your computer. Let’s get you in contact with our support team about it. Here is a link to open a ticket.

Thanks.

Thanks for the comments. We will make a note of your interest in those features.

I was hoping for improvements to the DAM, including support for video thumbnails. Looking forward to a future release.

So agree. No catalog or make it optional for users. I dont want it baked in.

Thanks Jimmy. I’ll take another look at the video and heed your sequencing advice. Maybe those things will get me better results. Thanks again!

We have a video that covers how to use the noise reduction tools in Exposure. Here is a link to that. Noise reduction is something you apply to correct issues in the image. Because of that, I suggest you to apply it before other effects. Also make sure to put the noise reduction on the bottom layer.

Wonderful–thanks for the responses!

Thanks for the comments, Alex. I looked back through our tech support correspondence with you. I do want to encourage you to update to the latest build, which has the most up-to-date enhancements to stability. You can check for updates directly from Exposure’s Help menu.

Regarding Exposure X7, the team is making changes on the back end of the software that will help Exposure be even more stable.

And also, I totally agree. Our tech support is A+. :)

Thanks for being an Exposure user, Kim. Yes, the new masking tools in Exposure X7 will definitely come in handy for your workflow based on your description. Exposure X6 introduced a bunch of helpful features. The Advanced Color Editor may interest you. It enables you to selectively edit tones in your images, so you can replace a blue with a red tone, or you can make specific orange tones more saturated and more yellow. That also might be a tool your workflow can benefit from. You can always download the trial of Exposure X6 if you’d like to test it out yourself.

Thanks for commenting, Hudson. Photo stacking and merging isn’t going to make it into this release. It is on our radar for a future release of Exposure. I’ll make a note about your interest and bring it to the design team’s attention.

Also a shout-out to your tech support. I had a great interaction with Nate last year. He was really helpful in helping me troubleshoot and resolve a glitch I was having.

I’d love to have the ability to set the tripod up and take multiple shots of the same scene and then selectively mask/merge them. For instance at a crowded tourist location where people are constantly moving, I’d like to take multiple exposures and stack them and then selectively mask/merge areas to generate a clean image without people.

The same goes for stacking HDR and/or stitching panoramas. In my view this is the only thing keeping many users from moving from LR/PS.

Thanks,
Hud

Thanks for being an Exposure user! There aren’t any changes that will effect the behavior of the highlights and shadows sliders in Exposure X7. Let’s start a conversation about how we can make them better. I’ll send you an email.
