After the test period, I had to realize, that installing the Resize 7 Demo did delete my Genuine Fractals 5 installation! For me that is an absolue no no! They have no business whatsoever to delete anything from my drive without warning me prior.

I was puzzled, how little they changed from Fractals 5 and can’t find any reason to upgrade for the price they are asking.

Matt, if you have some coinnection to these guys, maybe tell them about that, please!Īlso, as an owner of Genuine Fractals 5, I did download and install the new Resize 7. OnOne has some good Software, but they are overpriced! Maybe that is why they bomb their existing customers with massive mails every day, where all products are always on sale by 70% or more¿?¿ Strange approach to advertising and obnoxious. As for this particular use of the software, the best I can offer is that my client liked it when he saw it this morning. I hear what everybody is saying about the cost, and I agree.

I own the OnOne Plug-in Suite, so this should be a free addition. Some might say the selection tools in CS5 make this task easier in Photoshop, but I like the WB tools in Lightroom 3. Using the Masking Brush on the top layer, I revealed a nicely exposed fire chief and truck from the background layer. Then I selected both and opened in Perfect Layers. I created a virtual copy of the DNG in Lightroom 3 and adjusted its WB to suit the fluorescents. I do not have enough lighting to fully light a firehouse. I used a flash to light him, and the cavernous building uses fluorescents. We shot it inside the firehouse because of winter weather. My test image was an informal portrait of a fire chief posed next to a firetruck. My first impressions were that it uses a lot of RAM but that it produces good results.

I tried the software as soon as it was released. Who knows, maybe Adobe will surprise us and implement it in LR 4. Especially when third parties are coming up with plug-ins such as this one, and that’s a good thing. Somewhere in the future Adobe will add layers to LR. $159.00 if that’s what it ends up costing is a far site cheaper then PS when all one might want is to get some layer functionality. There’s way more hobbyist and consumer users then Pros who would benefit from this. There’s a whole multimillion dollar market for PS plug-ins and you don’t see anyone complaining about that. It gives me a leg up on things I would like to do that can’t be done without Photoshop and I suspect that is the goal Scott and OnOne had in mind and it will only get better over time.

Those of you who didn’t think of it first ought to get over it. I’ve read the posts here and elsewhere on the internet and to me it sounds like a lot of sour grapes from the usual suspects regarding it’s a “plug-in vs. So what! Some of us out in the real world are intelligent enough to see past all that. So Scott created a little marketing hype over it.

Congrats to onOne for seeing a huge need in how we work with our photography and coming out with Perfect Layers to help solve it.Īs a hobbyist photographer who can’t afford $1000.00 for Photoshop and hates the cliche consumer oriented aspects of programs like Elements and iPhoto, this plug-in is an added bonus in my opinion. You can download it now for free, have a chance to try it out, and share your feedback with onOnes development team. In a few seconds I was able to combine the two with the Overlay blend mode – something that you’d never be able to do in Lightroom. Here’s an example from a video I did for onOne, where I started with a texture image and a photo I took in Paris (both in Lightroom). You’ve basically made that entire move to Photoshop (which has thousands of features) for just one thing. I mean, think about all the times you go from Lightroom to Photoshop to simply add one layer or change a blend mode and use a mask. In the scheme of how we work with our photos, this could really change things and I’m excited to see where it goes. Yep, layers, stacking, blend modes, and even layer masks. Well, onOne Software has come out with a brand new plug-in that brings the features of layers to Lightroom. What’s probably the most-used feature in Photoshop? Layers right? Something that’s layer-related is probably the main reason I ever leave Lightroom in the first place.
