One of the new effects in PhotoTools 2 Professional Edition is called Krypto Glasses by Kevin Kubota and I really like the effect but hadn’t found an image of mine that I wanted to use it on until the other day with this shot. I like how it really darkens the edges and gives a much more stylized look to the photo. If you already own PhotoTools 2 Professional Edition and want this preset, go over to the onOne Exchange and download it for free.
