About Xpose

Xpose is a simple yet effective exposure adjustment plugin. It was written to offer quick adjustment of highlights and shadows with a rapid preview feedback and a simple, intuitive interface.

Using Xpose

The image on the left shows the interface when the plugin is first run. The four siders are fairly self-explanatory.

'Brighten' lightens the image, working most strongly on the shadows to lift out hidden details.

'Enrich Shadows' returns the shadows to darkness while preserving their new found detail.

'Overdrive Highlights' increases exposure of image high-points.

'Overdrive Shadows' similarly adds intensity to the dark area.

The 'Preserve Hue' checkbox offers an alternative process.

As example of the effect of the plugin, the following shows source image and results.
