Has anyone any experience positive or negative with this program? I received an offer for this suite for less than $100.00 and I was curious if any members are using it.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks/ Tim

I have this program and I like it. It is unique and I think, in time, Adobe or Corel are going to wish they bought it. Maybe Google will like they did NIK. It is easy to work with and it not only works as a plugin but it works as a stand alone program. I have found that it works extremely good with layering. I don't know if it works as good as LR on printing but I'm planning to find out in the very near future. There are some great, free, tutorials on YouTube, Lynda.com (subscription) and OnOne. Good luck. I hope this helped.

Tim,
Got it about a month ago based on member recommendations, the way it interfaces so well with Lightroom, it's capabilities in some areas that Lightroom can't handle (layers, mask, etc.), and the excellent library of instruction videos. Am very happy so far
and I've really only scratched the surface of its capabilities. For additional UHH feedback you should search the archives here. Hope this helps somewhat. Good luck.

Good question, as I am wondering the same? I did download the free Perfect Suite 8 but it is just a teaser. I have heard nothing but good reviews on the entire suite but I am still learning about layering for PS! I have heard that the resizing software that is included with the new 8.5 Suite is really rather good!

I have used every version since PPS 6.1. It works wonderfully and just keeps getting better.

Use the suite more and more, both as a standalone and as an adjunct to LR and PS. Its layering tools are easier to use for me than PS. There are some pp effects that are easier to achieve in On One than in other plug in suites. The resizing part was a great help to me recently in printing a very large image from a modestly sized file. On One's tech support is excellent. Adobe should take lessons from them on tech support. I am pleased with it.

I have experience with it and recommend it highly either as a stand-along processing system or as a plug-in to any of the Adobe products. It will do anything the normal photographer wants to do. I use it as a plug in for Lightroom.

Started With version 7 And just. Got 8.5. It works very weoo, integrated with LR or PS or standard alone And does everything Well, especiallly resizing. I think this and THE NIak subite Google bought are Both xcellent Adiționali. In My humble opinion NIK handle B&W from color very well. Havent checked out he newest versions of LR And Photoshop as they were recenly Available. I use all THE help i ca-n get. At Lease try he 30 Day Free trial.

I have used PPS for the past several years. It is an awesome program and the peoe there are really great to deal with.

Case in point, I upgraded from version 5 to 6 and a few months later they announced version 7. People who upgraded/bought version 6 within a certain time frame were eligible for a free upgrade. I was outside that window by a couple weeks :(. I thougt what they heck and I called them to see if I they would spot me a few weeks. They guy I spoke with said no problem and I didn't even have to beg :). That's customer service!

If you go to their website. On the main page that opens you should see "suite summer bundle" click that and it takes you to the offer.

Since I subscribe, they sent me the offer via email two or three times now. It also came through on another promo aggregator but that takes you to the onone site as well.
