Satori FilmFX 64 Let's Take A Closer Look Douglas Smith
SFX is an integrated vector and "non-destructive" bitmap design software for Art, Design, Print, Web, Digital Photography, Animation and Movie Special Effects. Aside from ease-of-use and nice user interface, SFX offers an approach that most graphic design programs don't seem to take with new users. It allows those not knowledgeable about complex design the option of putting advanced visuals together quickly via tutorials. There are many enhancements with this version of SFX, as listed below:
Uninterrupted workflow between Photoshop (or compatible software) and Satori.
Work interactively irrespective of image size, number of layers and/or objects.
Full real-time previews for editing objects, layers and most operations.
Paint, draw and illustrate in real-time using "pixel-free" brush objects.
2D shape, spline and line objects used for design and/or "lens" style advanced layer effects.
Error-free gradients, color corrections and other 64-bit color processing operations.
Complex and "Boolean" style operations with objects applied to color, mask and/or alpha.
Undo and/or edit objects, effects or any operation even after saving (or after a restore).
