DXO FilmPack 3 for DPReview members...

[agentlossing]

Looks like I got a PM over at good old DPReview, where the charmers lurk, for an offer for DXO FilmPack 3 for free. There was a code and a link in the email, so if that interests you and you're a member over there but haven't checked your account in a while, give it a look! I'm curious, so downloading it now.

 

[RBrianTaylor]

Thanks! Downloading now...

 

[budeny]

Yep, got it too!

Offer expires July 4th, so do not miss it.

 

[otaillon]

Thanks for the heads up!

 

[agentlossing]

You're welcome! I figure, with such a nice bunch over here, who signs in to DPReview anymore? JK, of course.

You can also get it along with the previous DxO Viewpoint for free at http://sharewareonsale.com/shop

They also have the newer versions available for discount.

I got that eMail too, but wasn't sure if it was worth wasting any time. I never heard of that software. I do visit that site every now and again , especially when my self esteem is a little high and I need some of those helpful members to knock me down a peg or two ..
They are good like that; I don't even have to ask

Interesting, something new to play with this weekend.

Thanks for the heads up, I rarely sign in to dpreview anymore.

Thanks for the reminder. I downloaded it also.

I was confused by it... Isn't DxO Filmpack 4 out? I have both 3 and 4 and I rarely use 3 anymore...

 

[MajorMagee]

Thanks for the notice about DxO Viewpoint.

I grabbed DXO FilmPack 3 a while back on a free promotion, and it's definitely worth having, especially if you don't have something similar like the VSCO packages. It's definitely more limited, but it's also definitely fun to play around with.

"Fun to play with" is at the right price point when the price tag is "free."

Version 3 has been given free several times --- since 4 came out.
they are giving away the old version. current version is 4.5

Yep, I got it and tried it out... and can't imagine why I'd ever use it with any of my real pictures... simulating old film colours and grain really isn't why I take photographs...

I guess that's also why I didn't "get" instragram's filters...

What do others use these filters for?

 

[synthetictone]

It's called "style". Those filters are based on the days of film and different looks photographers could get using different types of film before everything went digital. There is no harm or fowl for using filters on an image. How one uses them is another story.

As talented professional photographer Morgan Silk once said "If you want purism, then go and be a dancer or poet"
