I expected this new rewritten upgrade to function as a smart filter, but, alas, it doesnвЂ™t. What follows is my opinion onlyвЂ¦вЂ¦to me it felt like unfinished software.ДЇirst, the older Gen 2 software works on 16 bit images, but not as a smart filter.

So I decided to give the trial version a whirl. However, while all support is going to be discontinued for this software, there is currently a sale on their new software version - GRFX Studio Pro - with an offer to try it free for 30 days.

I am glad to say that Gen 2 still seems to work perfectly on my Windows 10 / Photoshop CC 2019 system. Gen 2 is being вЂretiredвЂ™, as it reportedly will not be functional with the new Mac operating system. I have used it mainly for its ability to apply light beams and weather effects, though it can do much more - however, for me those seemed to be the standout effects that were not easy accomplished by other software programs that I am familiar with. I wonвЂ™t say that I am a вЂpower userвЂ™, nor do I own all the available modules that can be utilized within the software. I own Auto Fx Gen 2, which I utilize from time to time as a Photoshop plug in. I offer this edit because it is possible that some of the statements no longer apply after software updates. I have not used it since the time of the original review. The company that produces the software has contacted me and informed me that since the time of this review there have been improvements in the software.

Huge thanks to the author Jon Devo and Amateur Photographer magazine for such a well written and useful introduction to auto focus calibration with Reikan FoCal рџ™‚ ItвЂ™s great to see information about focus calibration talked about more widely and of course we love they decided to review FoCal Pro.

The review provides a great overview of FoCal and good background information about when and why focus calibration is needed across 3 pages of the magazine. You can also check out some recent Reikan FoCal Online reviews. Digital magazine subscription is available, printed format available in all good magazine outlets (well in the UK at least!). We canвЂ™t post the entire article, the review itself appears in the 17th February edition.

There are entirely manual and cheaper ways to calibrate your lenses, but FoCal by Reikan offers a user-friendly and affordable solution that is practically foolproof. While it wonвЂ™t fix a lens that simply isnвЂ™t sharp, it will help you get the most consistent AF performance from your DSLR lenses. With such valuable kit, it makes sense to take every meaure you can to ensure you are getting the maximum performance out of it. YOUвЂ™VE spent a lot of money вЂ“ hundreds, likely thousands вЂ“ on your camera gear, or perhaps you were fortunate enough to be given your first DSLR as a present. WeвЂ™ll snip a little from their verdict below: Very exciting to see Reikan FoCal Pro reviewed recently in Amateur Photographer, a well respected photography magazine.ДЄmateur Photography rates FoCal Pro Recommended 4 and 1/2 (out of 5) stars!
