Create Layered Files in Lightroom and Aperture

Perfect Layers allows you to create or open layered Photoshop files and work on them directly from Photoshop Lightroom or Apple Aperture, giving you the power of layer-driven editing without Photoshop. With Perfect Layers, you can use tools specifically designed for photographers to create the image you envision, quickly and easily without getting bogged down in tools made for graphic designers. Best of all, it seamlessly integrates into your existing workflow.

Compatible Files for Adobe Photoshop

Blending Modes

Perfect Layers brings the power and creativity of blending modes to Lightroom and Aperture. Blending layers together, especially copies of the same or similar image, is at the heart of Perfect Layers. By changing the blending modes, you can control the brightness, contrast and color of the image to dramatically alter the appearance. And, by adjusting the opacity, you can control the strength of the effect. Get amazing and highly stylized effects with simple blending modes in Perfect Layers.

Masking Tools

With Perfect Layers you can control how much of each layer is visible by using the familiar MaskingBrush and MaskingBug from PhotoTools 2.6. Similar to using a layer mask, you can paint with the MaskingBrush to reveal or hide areas of a layer.

With the MaskingBug you can quickly create gradient masks for making vignettes and graduated filter effects. Both tools work together and are non-destructive and can even be re-edited with Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. If you use Wacom pressure sensitive tablet, you can even control the brush size or opacity with how hard you press while painting.

Retouch Brush

Just dab the Retouch Brush on a blemish and its gone automatically. This is perfect for quick touch ups. The Retouch Brush removes dust spots, power lines and other distractions from your image.
