Hi there, could someone please explain to me why after paying a fair amount of money for Photoshop,Lightroom and Elements there are things called pluggins, can the three I've mentioned not do the things plug inns do.
Thanks for all replies. Terry.
There isn't anything a plugin can do that you can't do in the three programs you mentioned. The advantage is that the same effect can be accomplished in a fraction of the time. Have you ever tried to mask around someone with frizzy hair? Tedious at best. A good plugin, and Nik qualifies, will do that with one mouse click. Nik, and others, like Topaz, have many presets that you can apply in seconds. Don't like the effect? Go back to where you started, and you haven't spent all that time only to delete what you did. It all depends on how much time you spend in PP.
