Naked light has annouced the impending arrival of a new Mac OS X application called “Naked light.” Naked light is a new breed of image editor redesigned from the ground up on a clean slate.

Naked light throws away concepts like pixels, layers, 8-bit color, and destructive, non-re-editable filters and operations. Instead, compositions in Naked light feature infinite resolution, 590 quintillion colors, and perpetually re-editable nodes.

Node-based compositing: Naked light features nodes—simple building blocks in a composition like a images, filters, and sets of brush strokes. Nodes can be arranged in novel ways that layers cannot. And because they are the blueprints for a composition, nodes are infinitely re-editable.

Infinite resolution: Layout images and define tools and filters in real-life units like inches, millimeters, and picas. Mix and match images with different resolutions, color spaces, and pixel aspect ratios in the same composition.

Pro tools: Naked light features precise tools with photographer-friendly units, like stops, and a super-fast Tool and Filter Dock. It also introduces brand new tools like the Noise Brush and Gradient Selections.

Live filters: Filters can be edited and re-edited, forever. You can work multiple filters together holistically to achieve the perfect effect, rather than one-at-a-time. Naked light lets you quickly edit all filters directly in your canvas and inspectorÑthere’s never a need for dialogue boxes.

Non-destructive editing: In Naked light, it’s impossible to ruin an image. All your original images and negatives are stored safely in your Library, so you’ll never have to worry about writing over a file or over tweaking a layer.

Coming soon: The first Naked light Public Beta arrives tomorrow, Friday, November 9th.

Naked light requires Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, and an NVIDIA or ATI graphics processor is highly recommended.
