IFX-Supreme

A few effects and adjustments can turn a plain picture into something that will impress everyone. If you are not skilled enough to use an advanced image editor, you can find other applications which are easier to use, but you may not be able to create your effects however you want, due to their limitations. IFX-Supreme gives you full control over your effects, like an advanced image editor, but it provides a user friendly interface, just like a lightweight editor. It allows you to create your own filters, share them and much more.

The installation file is roughly 30 MB, which is not much, if you take the software's capabilities into consideration. If it takes too long to download the file, due to a slow Internet connection, you can make up for the lost time when you install the software. The procedure is straightforward and you will not spend more than a minute to complete it.

You can do everything, from loading pictures to applying and adjusting effects, on the same window. You may explore your local partitions and removable drives in the lower region of the interface. When you find your images, you just need to select one and load it in the preview area.

Effects and filters are listed on separate tabs, on the right side of the window and you can apply them on your pictures by dragging and dropping them over the preview area. The software allows you to make various adjustments to individual filters, once they are applied. Depending on the selected effect, you will find different options, on the Project tab. Additional effects can be retrieved from an online database.

IFX-Supreme's functionality is not limited to applying effects and filters. It is possible to animate these items and thus create unique transformation effects. Selecting the appropriate option, in the View menu, will replace the folders browser with a timeline, on which you can add key frames, set up different durations and so on.

The best part about IFX-Supreme is the fact that it allows you to create your own filters, using a node-based system. You may switch to a node graph view mode, which replaces most elements on the interface. Nodes are illustrated as boxes, placed on a grid and you can drag them to different positions, on the same grid.

Each node represents a certain effect and you may draw lines to connect certain elements, like opacity, background, alpha channels and so on. It is possible to insert additional nodes, by clicking and dragging them from a list, located on the right side of the interface, where you can also make a series of adjustments to the selected nodes.
