Here is a list of the effects available through the MTTC2 suite: The MTTC2 effects allow you to add or remove color, darken blacks, accentuate highlights, apply stylistic effects and much more. Saving in Photoshop’s PSD format will export the effect as a layered document with full transparency. You can even stack effects and save the results as presets in your own custom library that for later use on other images. It’s likely that you will spend hours experimenting with all the effects and combinations of effects as you absorb all that you can do with the entire suite. FiltersĪs mentioned above, MTTC2 has 60 filters with over 300 presets and the ability to combine and tweak any of those to your heart’s content.
A moment later, a longer tooltip-a detailed description of the tool-appears. The first level, the basic tool description, takes a bit longer to appear than seems normal, which might be expected since the tooltips aren’t standard, but it is disconcerting until you adjust to the delay. Some of the interface buttons and tools are not labeled, which led me to discover two levels of tooltips. And while this approach is not completely intuitive, the same basic interface is employed across the whole family of Auto FX plug-ins. Because of its inherent nature as, basically, a standalone program, it makes no attempt to blend into Photoshop as its host program. Whether you are accustomed to Photoshop or use other photo manipulation software (I work mostly in Fireworks for my web design business), there is a learning curve involved in using MTTC2. In addition to hooking into Photoshop, MTTC2 can run independently with the same standalone interface. You can apply effects along Bezier paths, or through the new Effect Mask tool. You can preview effects instantly and, with the click of a button, check the original image against the changes you have made.
Alternately, you can remove the effect from areas with the brush-off tool.
MTTC2 allows you to apply filters globally, across the entire photo, or localized in specific areas via a brush-on tool. While MTTC2 includes over 300 preset effects, you are free to tinker with settings to create a unique look for your own filters, or to combine several filters via a series of non-destructive Effect Layers until you find the perfect combination. Auto FX’s Photoshop plug-in Mystical Tint, Tone and Color 2 (MTTC2) is a flexible suite of sixty filters that become the starting point in your ability to enhance the look and feel of your photos, setting the perfect mood long after the picture is taken. Taking the perfect photo is not a process that needs to end with the click of a button on your digital camera. Copyright © 2009 by John Passarella Introduction
