If you’ve every seen the results a polarizing filter has on blue sky you’ll appreciate SilverOxide’s new color landscape Adobe Photoshop plugin filter, BANG. While SilverOxide admits that the acute Photoshop user could use the curves menu or other Photoshop tricks to arrive at similar effects. He adds, “BANG does it easily, consistently and quickly.
The BANG filter mimics some of the characteristics of a polarizing filter. The Color Landscape uses an algorithm that deepens the colors of a picture dependant on the blue content of the pixels. This produces an increase in contrast, as if the picture were shot with slide film.
