You’d open it, and the dialog would show you 6 or 7 variations of your photo in small thumbnail previews. You clicked on the one you liked best and that was it. Well, Dfx’s filters are kinda of similar. At the bottom, you click on the overall “style” of filter you want to apply. Then the Presets panel (on the left in my screenshot below) opens for that filter and you choose which level or intensity of that filter you want to apply. Each one has a thumbnail preview already and you can just pick the one that looks best without messing around with sliders (although you can if you want). Maybe it’s a personal preference but I kinda liked it. I also liked the fact that you could customize the interface. They have a version of layering effects that’s almost like layers in Photoshop (which is a good thing because most people are familiar with that concept). But when I first opened it, I noticed the layers were on the left (opposite where they would be in Photoshop). But then I realized you can drag panels where ever you want, like you can in Photoshop, so I was back in my happy place ?Īs I mentioned before, I was really surprised at the filters. I thought Dfx was mostly just recreating traditional photographic lens filters and film effects (which it does a lot of). But there’s a bunch of other stuff in there. The “Light” styled filters were some of my other favorites and I thought the “Texture” filters were really slick too.
But if you’re looking for photographic and traditional-style screw on filter effects, I think you’ll see Dfx shines here.
