See instant previews of effects including Gaussian blur, find edges, noise and more in real time on a Power Mac,
Just drag KPT Lens f/x anywhere on screen to see amazing results. There’s never any waiting in Kai's lane.
Customize effects precisely the way you want them, Channel operations such as multiply, procedural
blend, lighten, difference and others let you apply and rotate special effects over selected artwork.
Choose subtle or intense results, or anything in between! Dial in precise parameters from zero all the way
to 100 percent — totally obliterating your image if you like. Watching it happen eliminates guesswork,
Need something strong to clear cobwebs trom your brain?
Just plug this awesome tool into Adobe Photoshop and other plug-in compatible imaging tools
and you have the foundation for a truly remarkable creative system. MacWEEK once raved,
"If you use graphics on the Macintosh, you need [Kai's Power Tools].” Imagine if they had
KPT Lens f/x” to play with. This magnificent filter is only one of 200 new reasons why
Kai’s Power Tools 3 takes imaging to a higher level. It works much like a magic wand. Just wave
it over your image and see real-time previews, for example hue protected noise, come to life.
Using KPT Lens f/x feels like flying for the first time. And if that doesn’t bring back childhood
memories, there's always KPT Spheroid Designer: This filter lets you play with as many 1,000
balls at a time. Its true 3D raytracing engine adds spectacular effects including negative light,
curvature, ambience, gloss, opacity, mutation and bump mapping. Another new MetaTools toy
is KPT Interform. This texture engine lets you weave textures together and create new offspring.
Even save animated textures as QuickTime movies. It’s enough to make you wonder what you
did before you “jacked in” your computer. Don’t wonder any longer. Just plug in and play.
