ABOUT THE SOFTWARE

Title :  SkyGrad Filter (Fotomatic Series)
Version : 1.2
Date : February 2004

A single plug-in for use with Photoshop-compatible host applications. It produces a linear overlay effect similar to gradient filters used in traditional photography. Useful for when you need to brighten-up a dull scene or just to tweak the color-cast in the sky area of your photos. A quick and simple solution to a common problem!

WHAT'S NEW?

This latest update now enables you to load and save your favourite presets from within the filter. The dialog design has also been modified slightly to match the other plug-ins in the Fotomatic range.
