onOne Software has recently announced Perfect Photo Suite 8, a photo editing toolset that functions either as a standalone app, or as a plugin for Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Photoshop Elements, and Apple Aperture. The company has also unveiled a public beta, allowing you the chance to play with all the tools before the software goes live in November.
Perfect Enhance module – Perfect Enhance provides essential tools for basic enhancements. Use it to adjust brightness and contrast, remove a color cast, remove dust spots and power lines, and add sharpening and vignettes. It is an ideal module to start with when using Perfect Photo Suite 8 as a standalone application or when quick corrections are needed.
Perfect Batch Utility – Powerful batch processing of actions from one or multiple modules, including the insertion of a watermark.
At the moment Perfect Photo Suite 8 can be tested out by the pubilc. While other photoshops are going to have to follow in line, because nowdays, not just anyone is going to purchase a photoshop without gaining a little bit of knowledge about, what they are using. Even better in my opinion is that it can stand alone as an app or a plug in for Adobe Lightroom.
