Perfect Photo Suite 6 for Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom and Aperture


NEW PRODUCTS PERFECT EFFECTS, PERFECT PORTRAIT, PERFECT MASK AND PERFECT LAYERS UPDATE PROVIDE PHOTOGRAPHERS WITH ESSENTIAL TOOLS TO REALIZE THEIR PHOTOGRAPHIC VISION.

onOne Software, Inc., a leading developer of innovative, timesaving solutions for professional and advanced amateur photographers, today announced Perfect Photo Suite 6 along with new products Perfect Effects, Perfect Portrait, Perfect Mask, and an update to Perfect Layers. All products in the Perfect Photo Suite 6 now work as standalone applications in addition to working directly from within Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, Apple Aperture and Adobe Photoshop.

Giving photographers intuitive tools that work where they do, the Perfect Photo Suite 6 now offers solutions for photographic effects, portrait retouching, creating and working with multilayered files, replacing unwanted backgrounds, image resizing, depth of field control, and edge effects, in one affordable package. The Perfect Photo Suite 6 includes Perfect Effects 3, Perfect Portrait 1, Perfect Mask 5, Perfect Layers 2, Perfect Resize 7, FocalPoint 2 and PhotoFrame 4.6.

With this new version of the Perfect Photo Suite 6, photographers can now move effortlessly between individual applications within the Suite and have complete flexibility to use the products where they work. The Perfect Photo Suite 6 now operates not only as a plug-in for Photoshop but also as a standalone application. This additional functionality means that the Suite can be used directly within Lightroom and Aperture without the need for a separate host application as was previously required. Perfect Photo Suite 6 will continue to include full support for Photoshop CS5 and CS4 with many of the products now functioning as Smart Filters.

“We are extremely excited about Perfect Photo Suite 6,” said Craig Keudell, president of onOne Software. “We have always set our sights on creating tools that help photographers create high quality images so that they can spend more time behind the camera or with clients, and less time behind the computer. With the release of the completely new products Perfect Portrait, Perfect Effects, Perfect Mask and the update to Perfect Layers, the Perfect Photo Suite 6 provides photographers with products that are even more intuitive to use, and that integrate seamlessly into their workflow, so that they can realize their photographic vision.”

Perfect Photo Suite 6 includes full versions of the following onOne Software products:

Perfect Effects 3 (New!): Perfect Effects builds on the popularity of PhotoTools to provide an even faster and more powerful way to create images with impact. Perfect Effects 3 includes a complete library of professional photographic effects that can be previewed live, full screen, on an image before being applied. Perfect Effects 3 now includes blending options that provide even more control over how effects are combined and applied.

Perfect Portrait 1 (New!): Perfect Portrait is a completely new product that offers the latest innovations in portrait retouching for photographers. Photographers can now focus on the art of retouching and portrait creation because the most time consuming tasks have been automated in Perfect Portrait. Perfect Portrait automatically finds faces and features in images so that photographers can get directly to the work of retouching and enhancing an image. Improving skin texture and color, removing blemishes and enhancing features like eyes, lips and teeth have never been easier.

Perfect Layers 2 (New!): Perfect Layers allows photographers to combine photos for endless creative options. Create and edit multi-layered files with Perfect Layers directly from Lightroom and Aperture, or as a standalone application. All Perfect Layers files can be edited in Photoshop later. Perfect Layers is the heart of the new Perfect Photo Suite 6.

Perfect Mask 5 (New!): Perfect Mask 5 is the next generation of Mask Pro, the leading software for background replacement. Perfect Mask takes the core strengths of Mask Pro to another level, by automating many common masking tasks with incredible accuracy. Perfect Mask’s new masking technology makes selecting subjects and isolating backgrounds surprisingly easy. With Automatic Background Removal, an initial mask is made on the image and can then be fine-tuned using the Erase and Refine Tools. With these new features, high quality masks can be created in just a few clicks. Perfect Mask 5 makes masking tough subjects like hair and glass on complex backgrounds easy.

Perfect Resize 7: Perfect Resize 7—powered by Genuine Fractals—is the industry standard for image resizing. It is renowned across the photographic and printing industries for its ability to increase image size well over 1000% without the loss of sharpness or detail that is normally expected. The patented, fractal based interpolation algorithms work like nothing else and the results speak for themselves.

PhotoFrame 4: Add the perfect finishing touch to images and layouts with PhotoFrame. With over one thousand design elements like film edges, borders, textures, backgrounds and adornments, PhotoFrame 4.6 even has complete layouts where users can simply drop an image in and they are done. It is the easiest and fastest way to add an authentic darkroom touch with a film edge or to create beautiful albums or scrapbook pages.

FocalPoint 2: Like bringing the camera lens inside Photoshop, FocalPoint 2 gives photographers the best way to add the most realistic depth of field and selective focus control to any image after it is photographed. Photographers now have an incredible amount of flexibility and control over the look of the blur with FocalPoint 2’s new blur algorithm, FocusBrush, Lens Presets and multiple FocusBug features.

AVAILABILITY
The new Perfect Photo Suite 6 will be available in late October 2011. Owners of the Perfect Photo Suite 5.5, Plug-In Suite 5 or earlier versions, can upgrade to Perfect Photo Suite 6

Join Mark Cleghorn and Kenny Martin on the next most incredible 3 day business convention which will turn around your business and change your life forever. This 3 day business extravaganza will take you step by step through every aspect of the business side of portrait photography. From planning, marketing, promotions, PR, literature, products, pricing, the actual session, post session, workflow, sales, production & post session.

The packed 3 day program will include set presentations from Mark and Kenny as well as breakout ‘brainstorming’ sessions with other delegates to add specifics to your business, every avenue will be explored and at the end of the 3 days you will receive extensive course notes and a password to a members only webpage where the progress of all delegates can be followed and questions asked and answered on the forum. As a member of the exclusive £100k Club you will have the tools and support network available at all times to help make your dreams turn into reality.

Our aim is to achieve a total group membership of 100 photographers each regularly recording £1000+ portrait sales (hence the £100k club) But also to bring everyone in the group up to a minimum of £400 average portrait sale from each and every client. We are not setting your goals however, everyone has a different outlook on where they would like there business to be, perhaps you are ultra ambitious and would like to turnover £1,000,000 per year on portraits or perhaps you are happy to stick to under the VAT threshold and remain the one man band status to maintain your work / life balance. The choice is yours, we are simply facilitators to your final goals. You will walk away after the 3 days with ALL the tools to run a successful photographic business. Both Mark and Kenny have had extensive experience of building business models and are absolutely committed to the education of fellow photographers. Since the formation of PhotoTraining4U Mark and his team have made a huge difference to the lives of 10,000′s of photographers worldwide.

This is the next step, a program where no stone is left unturned and no problem left unanswered. Don’t be left out, we have priced this incredible 3 day workshop at only £1,750. If this seems expensive for a seminar, trust us when we say that you will think it is a drop in the ocean once you have attended the convention. This is not about taking pretty pictures this is a real business saver. We truly think that this is a LIFE CHANGING event and we are so confident that you will be delighted with the content, and achieve incredible results, that we are offering a 100% money back guarantee. If you follow everything we say and you do not achieve the goals we set together, you get your money back.
