No more wading through long videos or docs – it just tells you what you need to know now to get going – much like cell phone apps – woohoo!!!
#ONONE PERFECT MASK 8 TUTORIAL HOW TO#
One of the things I really love about this release is that right off the bat you are given very helpful intro help on how to use the products. Color Efex is my bread and butter app that I can’t live without so I won’t give it up because I own Photoshop, but what they’ve done in this release is making me give it a closer second look! Perfect Help (aka Guidance) If you use Lightroom/Aperture and don’t have Photoshop, I think onOne just changed the game where you’d be better off owning Perfect Effects than Color Efex.
#ONONE PERFECT MASK 8 TUTORIAL SOFTWARE#
While I wouldn’t say the default settings are as good as the Color Efex equivalents, the flexibility in the in Effects Options gives you the ability to get there – and do it with only one suite instead of having to buy both Perfect Effects and the Nik Software bundle.

There’s also the addition of some popular Nik Software Color Efex filters like Tonal Contrast, Green Enhancer (called Foliage in Color Efex) and Golden Hour Enhancer (called Skylight in Color Efex). This is a huge win for Lightroom users who don’t own Photoshop, but long for its powerful masks and blending modes. While the photo editing above is pretty ugly (created to illustrate some points during a quick tour of the UI), what I’m seeing that has me so excited is that there’s even better layers support with blending modes and stacking that feels very Photoshop like. Perfect Photo Suite 7 is fast and powerful – a big improvement over 6! In fact, I’m so impressed that my original plan to post an article about it in mid-December had to get pushed up so I could share the news with everyone before they blew all of their money on Black Friday & Cyber Monday – ha, ha! Perfect Effects – Color Efex Killer? I just got my copy of Perfect Photo Suite 7 recently and I’m super impressed. OnOne Software is one of those companies that just keeps trying harder and harder to be the best and I think they are going to get there (especially if Google blows it with the Nik Software acquisition).
