I have the full suite (the version that piggybacks onto Lightroom), just did the upgrade to version 8.5
I haven’t used it enough to make a strong endorsement, and I haven’t used Photoshop ever so I can’t do a comparison. But I can say that the integration with LR5 is smooth and painless. Much much easier to go to and from Perfect Photo than PSE12. (Fairly new iMac, 16gb memory, LR5.) If I were a Photoshop user who was unhappy that the only Photoshop upgrade path is via subscription, I would be all over this product as a possible alternative. For the price, it is worth a serious look. stan On 13 May 2014, at 15:16, Paul <[email protected]> wrote: > If you liked Perfect Effects 8 and are interested in the entire suite, it's > on sale until May 22. > > http://tinyurl.com/k299atj > > -p > > On 5/12/2014 12:21 PM, Darren Addy wrote: >> So here is the image I submitted to the last PUG: >> https://www.flickr.com/photos/pixelsmithy/14043251365/ >> and here it is more like I wanted it, with couple clicks in the >> aforementioned Perfect Effects 8 >> https://www.flickr.com/photos/pixelsmithy/13983938150/ >> >> I believe someone may have earlier commented about the horizon not >> being level.
