Portland, OR – September
5, 2012 – onOne Software, Inc., a leading
developer of innovative, time-saving solutions for professional, advanced
amateur and hobbyist photographers, today announced Perfect Photo Suite 7 for
Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, Apple Aperture and as a standalone application. Improved
to give photographers even more ways to maximize their creativity and solve
common problems in digital photography, Perfect Photo Suite 7 now offers new
easy-to-use, yet powerful tools to develop stunning black and white images,
enhance, stylize and correct images, retouch portraits and prepare all images,
including mobile snapshots, for enlargement and print. Perfect Photo Suite 7
includes the brand new module Perfect B&W, Perfect Effects 4, Perfect
Portrait 2, Perfect Layers 3 and Perfect Resize 7.5 Pro–powered by Genuine
Fractals technology, Perfect Mask 5.2 and FocalPoint 2.
Improved workflow integration and a significantly redesigned
user interface allow photographers to focus on their image editing while
working seamlessly within their preferred workflow. Users can select their
image from Lightroom, Photoshop, Photoshop Elements or Aperture, send it
directly to the Perfect Photo Suite 7 module of their choice, make adjustments,
then immediately return it to their original photo editing or organization
application.
The new modules in Perfect Photo Suite 7 also
include the new Perfect Brush giving users the ability achieve precise edge-detected
masking quickly. It smoothly applies or removes adjustments to the specific
areas being worked on without crossing over the edges around it. A redesigned
browser with Search functionality and a Favorites panel allow users easy access
to the specific effects and presets they’re looking for. Photographic effects,
designed by industry experts specifically for onOne Software, are also easily
accessible alongside manual controls to give photographers the option to create
professional looking images with one click or fine-tune adjustments to create
the specific look they desire.
“We are very excited about Perfect Photo Suite 7,”
said Craig Keudell, president of onOne Software. “It is the result of what our
customers have been asking for so they could work more quickly and easily, yet
still create high quality images. The addition of Perfect B&W and the
improvements to Perfect Effects, Perfect Portrait, Perfect Layers and Perfect
Resize now give photographers even more creative options and trusted results.”
