Alexandria, VA, November 21, 2014 – Filter Forge, Inc. today released the first beta of Filter Forge 5.0, a high-end plugin for Adobe Photoshop allowing computer artists to generate textures, create visual effects, enhance photos, and process images. The beta adds support for randomization locks that enhance user control over parameter randomization. The beta testing will be conducted in several stages, with new features added at every stage. The key feature introduced in the first beta stage is the ability to lock off specific filter parameters from being randomized, thus maintaining a consistent filter appearance throughout randomization. For more information about the beta, visit https://www.filterforge.com/download/beta5/. The beta testing is open for anyone – no registration required. The beta is a fully functional 30-day trial version of Filter Forge 5.0 Professional edition. All registered users of Filter Forge can get a free beta key that allows them to use the beta version until Filter Forge 5.0 becomes commercially available.

Users can take instant advantage of over 10,500 free community-created filters in the online filter library at https://www.filterforge.com/filters/, or create their own filters in the visual filter editor by assembling them from components such as blurs, gradients, color adjustments, noises, distortions, or blends.
