Boris FX has released Optics 2026.5, a tool that applies cinematic effects to photographs using artificial intelligence. The new version recognizes facial features, improves sharpness, and removes noise. It is now compatible with Affinity Photo and Apple Photos, allowing any user to access advanced editing techniques without needing years of experience.
New AI Features and Expanded Compatibility 🚀
The update integrates artificial intelligence modules that detect eyes, nose, and mouth to apply precise corrections. The sharpness enhancement algorithm analyzes edges and textures, while the noise reducer works in low-light conditions. Optics 2026.5 connects as a plugin with Affinity Photo and Apple Photos, joining Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. It is priced at $149 for a perpetual license or $9 per month for a subscription.
