Free luminance software for mac

Too Much Too Soon Plugins 1.0 is a professional and smart set of plugins for Apple FCP.

1. Smart Anamorphic (New June 2005)
   Stretches 4:3 footage to 16:9 without cropping. Make sure you remove any automatically added distortions in the motion tab before you apply this. Currently in beta so please send all the feedback you got. Features that are coming up include thew ability to add cropping as well for a less dramatic effect as well as definable "center of action" to avoid stretching areas with movement.
2. Flashframe (Updated June 2005)
   A flashframe transition. Now with optional gradual pre and (!) post blur and luma clamping for legal levels.
3. Color Balance (New May 2005)
   Adjusts color balance without changing the luminance. Works a little like the built in color balance filter as well as the Quicktime RGB filter, but much better and more intuitive than both.
4. Color Balance 3-way (New May 2005)
   As above but with separate controls for shadows, midtones and highlights. Similar to the color balance tool found in many image manipulation tools for stills.
5. Clock (Updated May 2005)
   Generates a digital clock, for countdowns or whatever. The update adds milliseconds to the display. I suggest you crop the frame to select the number of decimals you need. The clock doesn't animate on its own, so you have to keyframe the "seconds" slider. I thought that would be the most flexible way of handling this...
6. Scratch Removal (New April 2005)
   Removes vertical scratches from old and damaged film. Move the sliders (you can enter fractions by hand for fine tuning) until the guide covers the scratch and then uncheck the guide box. Scratches like these are often stationary but otherwise the filter is completely keyframeable.
7. Anamorphic Squeeze (New September 2004)
   The benefit of doing this using a filter is that the letterbox area becomes usable for other filters applied to the same clip, such as Timecode Reader. This is not the case when you use the anamorphic checkbox or the motion settings. Make sure you undo any other squeeze before applying this.
8. Shadow/Highlight Gamma (New August 2004)
   Applies gamma correction to the highlights and shadows independently. Originally designed to correct the excessive contrast often found in film material transfered on a film chain, but feel free to use it whichever way you want.
9. Black & White
   Offers more control over the conversion to black & white than simple desaturation. Use it to emulate different b&w filmstocks as well as camera filters. I like to use 50% red and 50% green and lose the blue altogether for that orange filter look.
10. Chroma Resample
    Resamples the chroma channel using FCP's bicubic interpolation instead of Quicktime's built in nearest neighbor algorithm. Makes keying a lot easier and generally improves the image, especially if used with the Black & White or Fast Deinterlace filters.
11. Diffusion
    Silk stocking, Soft Filter, ProMist, LoCon, Diffusion and so on -- this filter does it. Just experiment with the settings. Normal, Overlay and Screen seems to be the most useful transfer modes, but don't let that stop you.
12. Speeder III
    Speed ramping tool. Ramps by keyframing the frame number or progress percentage. Works on the clip it's applied to, but if you want to change the duration you can apply it to a scrap clip and drop the clip to ramp in the source clip box.
13. Fast Deinterlace
    Same as the built in, but it renders more than twice as fast. And now it shouldn't destroy the last line of video as it sometimes did before.
14. Black Restore
    If you've lost the blacks for some reason, like video noise, bad telecine or dirty VHS heads, or even because of some filter you applied, this one's for you. It gives the image its punch back, with deeper blacks and better saturation in dark colors, without changing the brightness of the rest of the image.
15. Blend Fields
    This does the exact same thing as the famous "double deinterlace filmlook method," but it renders *a lot* faster.
16. Mosaic
    
17. Noise Reduction
    Removes video noise and grain by averaging pixels where there's no detail. Aside from giving you a cleaner image, this can really improve the results you'd get from most compression schemes, like Sorenson and MPEG.
18. Reduce Flicker
    Same as Blend Fields, but only blends where there's interlace artifacts. Useful for removing flicker in text and still images while preserving as much sharpness as possible.
19. RGB Gamma
    A simple but effective color corrector.
20. Typewriter
    Types the letters one at a time. Uses keyframes to control the speed, which allows for a more "real" and "natural" typing look. Try it with the Harting font.
21. Wind Blur/Cross
    This is a regular wind blur that is much, much faster than the built in one, due to the slight limitation that it only supports two directions, vertical and horizontal. It works both as a filter and as a transition.

RAW Developer 1.8.4 is a very tractable and powerful RAW image conversion application designed and optimized specifically for Mac OS X.

RAW Developer gives advanced photographers total control over every aspect of their digital camera's output, yet still provides easy drag and drop batch conversion and access to basic adjustments for the casual user. Thanks in large part to Dave Coffin's work on the open source RAW decoding program dcraw, RAW developer is able to support files from over 150 digital camera models.

Note that in spite of using portions of dcraw for decoding RAW image files, essentially the entire image processing pipeline is completely unique to RAW Developer this includes the demosaicing algorithms used for all cameras based on RGB color filters (which is nearly all of them), all color management operations, all other processing adjustments, sharpening, noise reduction and final file format conversion.

Major Features:

1. Completely non-destructive image processing.
2. Fast, High Quality Image Previews
3. High Quality Image Processing, 16 bits/channel (48bit RGB) or for some operations 32 bits per/channel high dynamic range floating point
4. Easy, flexible batch conversion: High quality image interpolation alogorithms give excellent image detail with minimal demosaicing artifacts. All image processing operations are performed at 16 bits per channel or greater. RAW Developer 1.5 features improved demosaic processing with further refinements to already exceptional image detail and reduced color noise along high contrast edges.
5. Advanced Sharpening and Noise Reduction Algorithms: RAW Developer offers four advanced sharpening methods, including unsharp mask, difference of gaussian, "hybrid" sharpen and Richardson-Lucy Deconvolution (Mac OS X 10.4 or later only). All are processed in 32 bits/channel floating point CIELab color space to avoid color artifacts. Powerful hot/dead pixel filters and noise reduction algorithms help eliminate noise, especially from images taken with long exposures or high ISO settings.
6. Image File and EXIF Information Window: RAW Developer offers a meta data information window which displays detailed image file and EXIF information.
7. Flexible Monochrome (Black And White) Conversion Options: Flexible black and white conversion options including RGB channel mixer, Lab lightness, luma, desaturate, intensity and custom duotones.
8. Extensive Image Adjustment Options: You're in total control of every step of the conversion process, multiple fully user editable tone curves, customizable color correction matrix, flexible ICC color matching options, exposure compensation, white balance, contrast, saturation and more.
9. ICC Color Management Support through ColorSync: Ability to specify camera or image specific input profiles, working space profiles for image adjustments and final image output profiles. At this time only RGB color spaces are supported.
10. Unlimited batch processing: You can continue making image adjustments while other images are converted in the background. Supports, easy drag and drop image conversion with flexible file naming options and support for multiple file formats including JPEG, TIFF, PNG, JPEG2000 and more.
11. What You See Is What You Get: RAW developer allows you to view and make all image adjustments while viewing a full resolution, fully color managed, 16 bit per channel preview.
12. Support for EXIF Meta Data: EXIF meta data is supported when exporting to JPEG or TIFF image formats. Supported fields depend on camera model, but generally include shutter speed, aperture, ISO speed, focal length, exposure mode, metering mode, flash information, camera make/model and date digitized.
13. Flexible Histogram View: Supports 256, 512 or an extra wide 1024 levels of detail. Viewing modes include RGB, individual R, G, B channels, all three colors at once, CIE Lightness, CIE Luminance, CIE Chroma (ab), luminosity, hue and saturation.
14. Multithreaded and Velocity Engine (AltiVec) (or SSE) optimized: Takes full advantage of multi-core and multi processor systems and the advanced capibilities of the PowerPC G4 and G5 and Intel processors. All image processing is handled by secondary threads so your work is never blocked waiting for processing to complete.
15. "Processing Disabled" Output Mode: Ability to bypass all image adjustments and all color matching operations for fast, high quality export of linear files intended for further processing with other image processing programs or RAW workflows. Also useful for creating non-color matched output for use in generating custom camera or scene profiles with ICC camera profiling software.
