Plug-In Suite
"Even if you only need two of these useful and amazing plug-ins, you'll wonder how you ever lived without the rest of the Plug-In Suite 4 components. I rate it as this month's best buy!"
— Joe Farace, Shutterbug Magazine
"This is a great collection of plugins. If you want to broaden your editing arsenal in one shot, Plug-In Suite 4 is a great place to start."
— Gavin Seim, Pro Photography Show
onOne Software Plug-In Suite earns American Photo Magazine's Editors Choice Award for Image Editing Tools in 2007.
Genuine Fractals
"Genuine Fractals 6 was, is and will always be the best solution for enlarging digital photos."
— Vincent Versace, Award-Winning Photographer
"I went into this thinking Photoshop does a pretty good job of enlarging your images. And then I tried Genuine Fractals and I realized, there is no other way."
— Matt Kloskowski, Photoshop Guru and host of Photoshop User TV
"Genuine Fractals Professional 6 is now the standard that I base all other resizing tools against. The performance is very good, and more importantly, the results are outstanding. OnOne Software has done a great job with this upgrade, making it a worthwhile purchase for current or new users."
— Jon Canfield, PhotographyBlog.com
"Interpolation - the process of adding pixels to an image - should be handled with care. Using Photoshop's Image Size dialog... sometimes works, but quality can suffer. We got better results with Genuine Fractals."
— American Photo Magazine
"How well does Genuine Fractals work? I took a few photos, upsampled them using Genuine Fractals, and submitted them to two stock photography houses that don't accept upsampled images. (They've even rejected more than a dozen of my images that they suspected were upsampled.) My original images were 3002x2000 pixels and I scaled them up to 6004x4000 before submitting them. The stock photography houses evaluated the photos and accepted all of them."
— Dave Huss, Photoshop User Magazine
"The prints I made startled me. Any flaws that enlargement would ordinarily accentuate, such as camera blur or weak edges, were of course exaggerated by the degree of enlargement, as you might expect. But those artifacts and jaggies that I thought would occur due to over-enlargement, limitations assumed by file size, were simply not there."
— George Schaub, Shutterbug
"Genuine Fractals just keeps getting better. It installs easily and really requires no learning curve to begin to use it. This new version of Genuine Fractals 6.0 represents a significant update of onOne's award-winning plug-in software. This version, while retaining the same powerful scaling capabilities, has enhanced its scaling engine and added more end user control for even more fine range image management than ever before."
— T. Michael Testi, Blog Critics Magazine
"Genuine Fractals consistently delivers quality enlargements with ease and you don't have to be a pro to get pro results. And, yes, that's still BIG news."
— Zoom Street Magazine
PhotoFrame
"PhotoFrame 4 Professional Edition is the latest version of a really cool plug-in that adds realistic film edges and edge effects, such as torn paper or brushstrokes, to the edges of your images. There are lots of new features jammed into this latest version."
— Dave Huss, Photoshop User Magazine
"Sometimes you just want to add a sloppy border, acid burn, or other creative edge. PhotoFrame is the best I've found. There are loads of options available and the new interface makes it easy to mix match and decide what works. There are thousands of possible border combinations and it's easy to use. The pro version gives you a few extra frames, as well as Aperture and Lightroom integration. What more can I say?"
— Gavin Seim, Pro Photography Show
PhotoFrame Pro 3 wins the PC Photo Magazine Editors Choice Award for 2006.
PhotoTools
"What makes a great plug-in? Easy-to-use, effective and fun effects! "With PhotoTools 2 Professional Edition, I can combine any of the hundreds of artistic effects into my own preferred combo, thereby creating something unique to me that I quickly access from a simple menu. Awesome!"
— Kevin Kubota, Photoshop Guru, Instructor and Photographer
"I've spent the last 20 years creating and teaching techniques and effects that strengthen, extend and accelerate the digital creative process. PhotoTools 2 is the culmination of that time and energy. The power of Photoshop - distilled for high octane, streamlined productivity! That's what you call WOW!"
— Jack Davis, Photoshop Guru & Instructor
"PhotoTools...perhaps the 'Swiss Army Knife' of Photoshop plug-ins. Well worth the investment."
— Horizons Newsletter
Mask Pro
"Once you've tried Mask Pro, you'll never want to go back to the old way of making masks and selections."
— Macworld UK Magazine
"[Mask Pro] provides a very easy technique for improving the quality of your isolated objects, making them seem more believable on any new background."
— Advanced Photoshop Magazine
"Mask Pro is pretty amazing. If you want to do serious masking in Photoshop, manually selecting can be a tough job. Mask pro is great for getting fine tuned selections, and doing it fast. Even hard to mask things, like backgrounds behind a semi-transparent item (such as a wedding veil) Can be effectively pulled free, allowing you to change or alter the background."
— Gavin Seim, Pro Photography Show
FocalPoint
"Wow! That was my first reaction to FocalPoint, the newest plug-in from onOne Software. I repeat…Wow! I'd give this filter 6 stars (out of 5) if they'd let me."
— Photoshop User Magazine
FocalPoint earns American Photo Magazine's Editors Choice Award for Imaging Essentials in 2008.
"onOne Software developed an effective way of controlling sharp and out-of-focus areas in a photo with FocalPoint. This is a fun program to play with - you can shift the sharp and soft parts of a photo all over for some great, high-impact results."
— Rob Sheppard, Outdoor Photographer Magazine
"If you are a huge fan of doing things in-camera, then a Lensbaby is a great lens to use. However, the amount of effects that you can get is limited. If you have the time to swap lenses and get the image dialed in, the effect is very cool. If you don't have a Lensbaby, or if you find later that you have a great shot that would have been even better with that effect, then you are out of luck without a re-shoot. With Focal Point, we can now add the effect in post production and get very similar results."
—Kerry Garrison, Camera Dojo
"I love software that is so intuitive and easy to use that before you know it, it's up and running on your computer and you're playing around with it and having a blast. Even better is if it's a program that's actually useful along with being fun. One of the niftiest imaging tools I tried this past year is a plug-in from onOne Software called FocalPoint 1.0 which lets you easily add selective focus and vignetting to your images."
— Dan Havlik, PDN Gear Guide
