Perfect Photo Suite
"The best keeps getting better! The new layout in Perfect Photo Suite 7 provides the photographer with more real estate for photographs, and additional tools to make processing in the suite extremely efficient. With the new Perfect Brush, I'm spending less time editing or worrying about precise brush strokes and more time doing what I love, shooting. Perfect Effects is now faster and easier to identify my favorites. Perfect B&W has let me put the competition aside and convert my photographs to monochrome easily and beautifully without leaving Perfect Suite 7."
— Scott Wyden, Photographer & Blogger
"I'm finding more inspiration with onOne Software than with any other image-editing product I've used. Perfect Photo Suite 7 gives me just what I need to process my images beautifully and efficiently."
— Nicole S. Young, Photographer & Author
"It's awesome how quickly onOne Software has become an integral part of my post-production. Perfect Photo Suite seamlessly integrates with Apple Aperture bringing layers, masking, a powerful effects engine, and now with Suite 7, new brushes that make selective stylization even simpler and a black and white editor to my image editing workflow. Every image I produce gets a run through the suite and comes out shining on the other side."
— Jacob Lucas, Photographer
"Perfect Photo Suite 7 makes editing your photos insanely easy and fun to do. Being able to see what the effect will do ahead of time in Perfect Effects is a huge timesaver, and I find myself clicking on effects just because they look cool in the live preview. No longer do I dread opening up Photoshop and just staring at my photo until something hits me."
— Michelle Hedstrom, Sports & Concert Photographer
"I have been an onOne customer for years. For me, it's the perfect compliment to Photoshop and Lightroom and I'm thrilled with the seamless integration you've created between these and Suite 7. Its incredibly easy for me to go directly to the specific module I need and then right back to my overall editing. (Having said that, I seem to be spending more and more time directly in Suite 7 given all the options available to me.)
The on onOne Perfect Photo Suite 7 is easily the best version the company has ever made. I love the new interface, from the presets on the left rather than the bottom (so I have more room for my image) to the additions to the tool options bar. Every one of the interface changes was thoughtfully designed to make my workflow smoother and more intuitive.
There's something in Perfect Photo Suite 7 for everyone:
Beginners can quickly apply presets and explore a range of looks and effects to enhance their images and let them see all that's possible and help them to begin the process of developing their own unique vision with these powerful tools.
Advanced users will feel immediately see the power and potential in being able to take their creative workflow and vision to the next level.
I count on onOne to help me realize my creative vision quickly and intuitively. The new Photo Suite 7 takes everything I loved, improved on them, added new stuff to love and is taking me to an even more inspired place."
— Alan Shapiro, Photographer
"The seamlessness of working between programs in Perfect Layers is exceptional. onOne's Perfect Photo Suite 7 has become a one stop shop for nearly all of my post processing needs."
— James Brandon, Photographer & Educator
Perfect Portrait
"Better portraits in less time"
— Jay Nelson, Design Tools Monthly
"For photographers who primarily shoot portraits, this is an excellent product for quickly enhancing or retouching, especially when subtlety is required."
— Lisa Solonynko, Canadian Women Photographer's Network
"Perfect Portrait is really a simple program but the amount of time that it can save you is just amazing. It is extremely easy to use and completely modifiable so that I can't see why it wouldn't be used anytime there is a face in an image. The changes that you are able to make really take just minutes and the results are phenomenal.
— T. Michael Testi, blogcritics.org
"The Skin Retouching tools in Perfect Portrait are excellent, with sliders for adjusting skin smoothness, reducing blemishes, decreasing (or increasing) shine, and texture adjustment."
— Dan Havlik, Photo District News
Perfect Layers
"Perfect Layers from onOne Software distills down and codifies the often-complex task of working in Layers to a fairly simple task, offering various Blend modes, composite shortcuts and oils that might otherwise pose a steep learning curve."
— George Schaub, Shutterbug Magazine
"Perfect Layers 2 had taken version 1 into a whole new dimension by simple but effective additions... The file browser not only helps to streamline things but also lightens the pressure on your system resources, since you only have to open one software package at a time rather than several."
— Dave Wall, Photo Professional (March 2012)
Perfect Effects / PhotoTools
"I'm thrilled to say that my prayers have been answered, and now PhotoTools has been renamed to Perfect Effects to become the product I always hoped it would be."
— Ron Martinsen, Photography Blogger
"Perfect Effects is just fantastic even for geeks like me! Not only does it include a myriad of black & white option, it has whole sections dedicated to movie looks, photo filters, sharpening, darkroom effects and vintage look, just to name a few."
— Dave Wall, Photo Professional (March 2012)
"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
Perfect Resize / Genuine Fractals
"I found this part of the overall software package amazing. Perfect Resize will scale images to huge proportions with ease and finesse... there is no doubting if you want big prints then this is the package to use."
— Dave Wall, Photo Professional (March 2012)
"[Perfect Resize] 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
"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
Perfect Mask / Mask Pro
"I have yet to find a masking option easier and more accurate than this."
— Lisa Solonynko, Canadian Women Photographer's Network
"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
"FocalPoint 2 from onOne Software is a well thought out and implemented application that meets an important need for the photographic community."
— Mark Rudd, MyMac.com
"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
"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
PhotoFrame
"PhotoFrame 4.6 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
