Flaming Pear

Here's another company with an interesting name and a collection of useful plug-ins. My favorite in this set is called Aetherize, part of the Designer Sextet collection. Figure 19.11 shows it being applied to the New Orleans skyline. It takes the colors and apparently changes them to their color wheel opposite hues without changing the brightness or saturation. Be sure to see the color version of this photo, too.
