Motion Blur Lab PRO v1.0 is released

MBL PRO (Motion Blur Lab PRO) is a Photoshop® compliant plugin capable of producing high-quality, multi-directional and variable-strength motion blur effects quickly and efficiently using motion vectors. MBL PRO was developed in an effort to achieve effects not currently possible with virtually any existing digital retouching software and it is of special interest to professional photographers, retouchers and digital artists everywhere. 

Naturally occurring motion blur has extremely complex optical characteristics that are quite difficult to accurately simulate with today's array of underdeveloped tools. Traditional digital retouching software such as Photoshop® provide very basic motion blur capabilities. 

The linear motion blur filter suffers from severe highlight decay while the zoom and spin filters suffer from excessive noise. The emitters are constrained within the image bounding box and are limited to circular output only making them unsuitable for perspective-driven images. Multi-directional motion blur is impossible to achieve as is variable-strength output. Poorly designed GUI's are hardly intuitive and far too cumbersome for most visual artists. MBL PRO carefully takes into consideration all of these aspects in order to produce a powerful and easy-to-use filter delivering the highest quality motion blur output possible.

MBL PRO v1.0 features:

- High-quality, multi-directional and variable-strength motion blur using interactive motion vectors

- Four powerful motion blur types adequate for simulating virtually any type of motion blur,

- Four motion blur distribution models for creative motion blur treatments, including:

- Off-image emission centers for advanced motion blur effects

- Advanced zoom and spin features for dealing with complex subject perspective, including:

- Global velocity control for all vectors as an alternative to independent vector velocity control

- Delete-last-vector option for custom motion blur mode

- Sophisticated highlight preservation tools for high quality motion blur output, including:

- Powerful, robust and easy-to-use graphical user interface specifically designed for working with motion blur, including:

- Powerful, fully-detailed and ultra-fast preview rendering console, including:

- Fully integrated Photoshop functionality, including:

- High resolution, 24 (8 bits / channel) and 48 (16 bits / channel) image color depth capabilities

- Powerful rendering technology
