Tonality es una parte del «Creative Kit» del fabricante de software MacPhun y es un conversor a blanco y negro que corre sobre plataformas Mac. Corre solo o como plugin de (como no) Adobe Photoshop y Lightroom.
Ruinoso, lo que dice ruinoso, no es. Anda sobre las 35 £ (unos 50 euros) y si os hiciera ilusión haceros con la «Creative Suite» completa, os saldría por unas 90 £ (unos 125 euros)
Bueno, pues para ayudaros en tan sesuda posible decisión de compra en Photography Blog le han hecho un análisis (solo a Tonality, no a la Suite completa) y por lo podéis ver en la imagen ilustrativa parece que les ha gustado, aunque la puntuación parcial más baja es en la facilidad de uso, así que negados para estas cosas como yo, abstenerse.
El análisis tiene tres e-páginas y es bastante extenso. Este es el apartado completo de conclusiones:
Conclusion
Tonality, as with other MacPhun software, is very easy to use and understand, but it has lots of power behind it. Anybody that has been used to working with advanced software such as Photoshop will feel at home here – it complements it nicely – but if you’re a beginner you should also feel at ease using the software too, you can just go straight to presets.
Monochrome is a popular editing process, but it can be quite tedious, especially if you’re new to editing. Having all the different presets makes it an easy job to find something you like, without having to worry about the ins and outs of specific editing techniques – but if you want to adjust or tweak things, you can do that too.
Of course, as it only produces monochrome images, it’s not something that you can use as your only piece of editing software, but as an add on to Photoshop, or as part of the wider MacPhun suite, it’s fantastic – bolstered especially by the fact that you can try before you buy, or get a refund if you find you don’t like the software.
Hala, a meditar. Ser o no ser, color o blanco y negro, fotografía o parchís, votar o enviarlos a todos allí donde merecen. Jo que lío.
