VanDerLee FilterOptix 1.0 for Adobe Photoshop

Filters are an essential part of your photographic equipment. They help you to correct or embellish the colors of a scene, put people or objects in the center of attention, bring out the beautiful contrast in a stormy sky or make that wedding picture extra romantic. In short; no photographer either professional or amateur can do without lens filters.

But to manipulate the color, you'll need one filter for every possible correction, if you want to apply it to only part you'll need graduated or spot center filters, you'll need soft-focus and/or motion blur filters for the romantic shots, a polarizer to bring out the clouds; the more flexible you want to be with your filters, the more of them you need to drag along with you.

And let's not even start about the hassle of constantly screwing on and off those filters; the last thing a photographer wants is to spend valuable seconds or even minutes when the perfect shot is disappearing right in front of your eyes.

With FilterOptix™, you can shoot first and ask questions later. Frame that perfect shot, push the shutter button and worry about using the right filters later.
