Unifed Color Releases 32Float HDR Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop

HDR is all the rage, and Unified Color has thrown their hat in the software ring.  32 Float is the company’s affordable answer as an Adobe Photoshop Plug-in.  It is available now for $99.99 but I would recommend taking advantage of their 30-day free trial download to “kick the tires”.  Below is the official hype from the vendor.

32 Float™ is the first fully featured 32-bit color editing plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop® based on Beyond RGB™ color space. With 32 Float you can adjust color, brightness and contrast while maintaining a full 32-bit workflow. It accepts 32-bit HDR or 8/16 LDR images from any application and can produce crisp, photo-realistic images without ha­los or color shifts. This software package includes the Photoshop filter plug-in and the BEF file format plug-in for CS3, CS4 and CS5.
