Perfect Effects Free Edition

I'm thinking of trying this...the price it right...

the question that I have is HOW DO YOU USE IT? And should I put the filters/plug-in's in my Photoshop Elements/Lightroom...

What is your work flow using Photoshop & onOne Software?

I used the previous edition, "Photo Tools 2.5 Free" for quite a while. It's basically been superseded in my arsenal by a paid-for Nik Color Efex Pro... But it's a nice little program. You can stack the effects in it and turn them on and off before committing to a particular edit.

Downloaded, installed and tested... first impressions, very very good. I am pretty sure I will be using this a lot ;)

Thanks for sharing :)

I'll get it later tonight, I doubt it works with PaintShopPro, but it works standalone...

Looks good to me. Unfortunately it doesn't run on PowerPC Macs (long list). Time for a new laptop.

Ja-9, Perfect Effects (shown here as the full edition) lets you simply click and apply presets to your image, then stack and manage those added effects like layers with full control over each. In Photoshop (if you're using the plug-in version) you access onOne plug-ins via the File>Automate menu.

So Bear_Music...you see to have this...do you use is as "stand alone/plug-in"...and if you use it plug in...which one do you plug-in to???

Right now I have all my plug-ins (Topaz, SEP2 & Neat Image) all in my Photoshop Elements...

I know that I CAN put them in my Lightroom...but at this point have chosen to keep them in the PSE10...

which way do ya'll recommend....

It's not all that unusual, but just give 'em a fake #.

I actually gave them my (work) number but they've yet to call me.

Various stores in town do this as well, which makes even less sense. I mean, I don't ask the girl at the register for her number-!

Downloading....will try. I'll try any free software. You can always get rid of it if you don't like it. Thanks for link.

Thanks Robert, I did just didn't know where I should put this for the work flow...I use Lightroom for most of my RAW Conversion and a few other things...then I always move the photos to PSE10...that is where I do my final "tweaking" per say...

Thanks

I have. I say something like "i'll give you mine when you give me yours ;)", or i'll make a joke of the fact she's asking for it and say "sorry, i'm really flattered that you want my number, but i'm married with a family...and my wife said i can't have any more wives."
At that point they either laugh at the joke or get so embarassed that they don't ask me for the phone number to enter into their system.
Try it some time :)

Alright. I can never get plug-ins to install into photoshop the first time. What am I doing wrong?

I've got Windows 7 home, and Photoshop CS5.1 64bit

It won't show up in "filters" like the other plugins. In the menu bar, look at "window>extensions>OnOne"...

Thanks. However, after looking at it it doesn't really impress me...but then I also don't know what I'm doing.
