The Lobster software is a Photoshop plug-in that effectively divides the luminosity/tonality and RGB color of images, allowing photographers to adjust them separately.
Lobster is a powerful tool that enhances your Photoshop experience by optimizing your workflow with its unique features. Unlike a regular plugin, it is a Photoshop droplet that creates four new layers from your file: Luminosity, Red, Green, and Blue Chromaticity with each layer containing Hue and Saturation. These separate layers offer you unprecedented control and power over your RGB files.
Lobster makes many dialogue boxes, tools, and histograms more accurate, providing you with a greater understanding of the feedback received from Levels and Curves. Lobster's very specific tonality called Luminosity helps you to achieve a more accurate representation of your images. If you had problems with Dodging and Burning changed colors, this will now cease. Lobster also reduces the creation of unpleasant digital artifacts from sharpening.
If you are a creative person, Lobster is perfect for your photos or artwork. It provides accuracy, control, and new tools for creativity. However, Lobster is not just for artists or photographers; it is also an essential part of your toolkit if you're a curator, an archivist or working in medical/scientific image preparation, and analysis. It helps ensure accuracy and avoids misleading changes to digital images.
The latest version of Lobster (version 1.5) includes greater accuracy in layer creation, making the use of the tool even more efficient. There has also been an improvement in handling workspaces and compatibility with CS2. For those who want to try Lobster out before purchasing, there's even a demonstration version (reduces image size to 600px) that's been updated.
To use Lobster, you need to have Photoshop 7, CS, or CS2 and Mac OS X 10.3 or higher. Although Lobster may work with 10.2, it remains untested. Overall, Lobster is recommended software that will enhance your Photoshop experience and make your workflow easier and more efficient.
