"I was a Photoshop plug-in junkie until I found the LucisArt 2 filters. They allow me to do what I have always wanted to do, only easier. My favorite filters are Whyeth and Sculpture or a combination of the two. The only thing missing is Lucis Pro for Mac."

"I find that LucisArt 2 is an indispensable tool. I use it for sharpening, smoothing, de-noising- LucisArt 2 can make images appear to jump right off the page. It can be used to give a big effect or in a more subtle, almost imperceptible way, to sharpen an image to perfection. The blending routines are good and can be used sequentially. It is only a matter of time before your own standard routine will become your own personal style. The more I use it the more uses I find."

David Cornwell, Honolulu HI

"LucisArt 2 and Lucis Pro give me an infinite range of effects. I constantly experiment with their endless variations to come up with surprises. Due almost single-handedly to these programs I now have a growing number of clients (interior decorators & galleries) that employ me to create custom works for them. One major comment I hear from them is that they like that I can create "variations on the theme" to suit the decor of an interior. This means I create an image that suits their criteria for the qualities and textures they want to see to contrast or harmonize with the other elements in the room or entry way.

Charr Crail, Sacramento CA

"LucisArt 2 has a look all it's own and I love it! LucisArt 2 is a great tool, allowing me to enhance some great images I've shot, creating a different kind of visual interest that appeals to me as a photographic artist."

Fuzzy Duenkel, West Bend WI

"Sculpture is my favorite LucisArt 2 effect. It gives the image an emphasis that is no only appealing, but one that clients cannot resist. This is a VERY salable filter! With any filter technique, the photographer must try it to see if it works with the image. Not every image will benefit from this particular filter. Yet it's surprising in how many and the variety of images that do benefit.

With the adjustments given the photographer, the effect can be gentle, strong or edgy. It's one of the those styles that the client doesn't know what you did or how you did it, but the images just have that special something that separates your images from the pack."

Ed Hall, Vancouver Canada

"I use LucisArt 2 on almost every photograph I process. It has become an indispensable tool in my quest to "paint with a camera." When I take a photograph that excites me,I head straight to LucisArt 2 and my favorite effects, Whyeth and Winslow. I can't wait to see what develops, what LucisArt 2 reveals. LucisArt 2 helps me find the passion and the art that lurks with in my own photos. With LucisArt 2 at my fingertips, there's always more to the story than what initially meets the eye."

Perry Harmon, Lebanon TN

"When processing this type of image, LucisArt is an integral part of my workflow. I've tried other software and even tried doing it myself using various combinations of filters. With LucisArt, I get my final result much faster and the results are much more pleasing. The software paid for itself (and more) the first time I used it."

Jae Gregory, Charleston SC

"I own both LucisArt 2 and Lucis Pro. These programs are essential to the development of my art. I process nearly every image with one or the other. Lucis software pulls out the details and the drama in my images, letting me create my artistic vision from my photographs."

David Honor, Willowbrook IL

"The LucisArt filters have given me the real keys to create images I used to only dream about. Through manipulation and combinations of what LucisArt 2 offers I can work in less time and effort to create what I feel. Through my personal work I have expanded my client base since most art directors who see the results can't wait to apply these effects to their jobs as well. LucisArt 2 makes THEM look good; LucisArt 2 makes ME look good."

Stephen LeQuier, Silver Springs FL

"I am a nature photographer and digital artist. My workflow for both photography and digital art includes Lucis Pro and /or the LucisArt plug-in for Photoshop. My work has changed dramatically since I started using the Lucis products. They help me achieve the look that I see in my mind's eye. They give me control over detail, lighting and much, much more. The Lucis product line is the most powerful program of its kind on the market today. I've been doing this for almost 20 years and I can't believe the difference it makes."

"I have been an avid Lucis user for quite some time. I specialize in portraiture and use Lucis extensively with excellent artistic results. In fact, I consistently get inundated with requests from other photographers asking for my "secret formula.""

"LucisArt 2 brings out details in images I saw with my eyes but couldn't capture with my camera. It's as if I can dial in more emotion and deeper expression. I'm a newcomer to LucisArt 2, but it has quickly become indispensable."

Eddie Tapp, Atlanta GA

"LucisArt 2 is one of my favorite creative controls in Photoshop. It allows me to create a quality and mystical mood like no other very quickly and with many options. I simply love it."

Dave, Jean and J. D. Wacker, Clintonville WI

"Besides all of the great artistic applications of LucisArt 2 which allowed us to introduce several new products for our customers, we love to use it as an enhancement tool (i.e. boosting contrast sharpening, and local detail enhancement with Photoshop's History Brush). We use LucisArt 2 daily at our portrait studio."

Stephen Schneiderman, Mays Landing NJ

"I started into digital imaging near its beginning. I started with Photoshop 2. Lucis Art Pro 6.0 completes my arsenal of photographic tools. It works so well I find myself using it lightly or intensely on every image. Thanks for developing this great tool."

Katrina Chilton, Harrodsburg KY

“The Lucis Pro software has become a dependable part of my editing. I achieve so much more and the response is always "wow." I love this software, and will always use it. Thank you so much. I also love the fact that I can use some or all of the original photographs color, which does in fact help and cut down on further editing in Photoshop. It helps so much having that feature.”

James Thibert, Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada

“I use Lucis Pro 6 as a critical part of my workflow regime in processing digital pictures. Primary use is for the control I get along with the quality of detail enhancement it produces. Secondary use is the highly creative elements of Lucis Pro 6 that allow me to explore how I utilize the light I got, in the way that I meant. Between my astronomy and my creative photographic art, I probably have more than $30,000 dollars in graphics software and nothing that matches Lucis Pro 6. Congratulations on creating a great graphics toolset and thanks.”
