This is my favorite change to the user experience in Exposure X3. This is a new feature which helps bring Exposure X3 much more in line with Adobe Lightroom in terms of organizational tools. Are you looking for a "portrait" image shot at 85mm with an aperture of f/1.4 within a certain date range? Easy, you can search for that.Įxposure X3 keeps a list of your recent keywords and you can create larger parent groups of keywords, which is neat. You can add keywords to the metadata of individual files and you can fine tune a search for keywords by adding additional search parameters. Fortunately, Alien Skin has added this function to their X3 version of Exposure and the implementation is very well done. While not everyone uses keywords to help organize their photos, many photographers rely on them for tagging important files. Collections are very useful, particularly if you are a working photographer who needs to group particular projects together.Īnother less obvious change is the new keywords functionality. This means that if you are syncing files across multiple devices or want someone else to have access to a project or folder, it will come with your assigned organizational metadata as well.

Side-by-side image comparison: I find this feature particularly useful when culling images, but it can also work well when comparing different editing treatments on the same image when used in conjunction with Virtual Copies.

Virtual Copies: Without using up additional disk space, through the use of new virtual copies, you can edit and export multiple variations of a single image.Ĭollections and quick collections: If you store images across a wide array of locations within Exposure X3, Collections are a good way to keep them organized in a group.

You can retain or remove the keywords when exporting images and manage your keywords in a dedicated keyword library. You can now apply descriptive keywords to your images, including during the import process.

Keywords: This is a big update to Exposure X3.
