Adobe After Effects CS5 

What’s New

After Effects CS5 includes an updated version of one of the most powerful desktop color correction 
tools available: Synthetic Aperture’s Color Finesse 3 LE. (Color Finesse has a user interface that is 
English only.) The latest release of this versatile tool introduces numerous refinements, providing 
you with new ways to perfect your images. New features in Color Finesse 3 LE include:

•  Hue and saturation curve controls, yielding finer control over your color corrections

•  A new vibrance control that works in a way similar to the one in Adobe Lightroom® software, 

providing a more subtle alternative to altering saturation

•  Auto Color and Auto Exposure buttons for instant corrections

•  New highlight-recovery feature, meaning you lose less image detail when you have to conform 

high dynamic range footage to the limitations of video

•  Improved handling of non-square pixels

•  A simplified plug-in user interface for improved ease of use

Color Finesse LE is also capable of exporting your “looks” as color look-up tables, which can then 
be applied in After Effects CS5 using its new Apply Color LUT effect. Plus, Color Finesse 3 LE has 
been updated to natively support 64-bit operating systems.

Color Finesse 3 LE has been significantly updated, including vibrance control, highlight recovery, and HSL curves.

Digieffects FreeForm—included with After Effects 
for the first time in Creative Suite 5—vastly 
increases your 3D design options, allowing you to 
do more in After Effects, such as creating flags, 
bending floating video panels, and extruding layers 
without requiring a side trip into dedicated 3D 
software. FreeForm automatically responds to 3D 
cameras and lights in After Effects, making it easy to 
integrate the results of this effect into any 3D scene.
