[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 242022, member: 9240"] When I first downloaded it I was looking at it with an eye to how similar to the Nik Collection it might be, and I really preferred (and still prefer) the Nik tools for most general editing. But I saw enough differences that I decided to spring for it when version 8 was released, primarily for Perfect Mask and Perfect Resize, two things not available in Nik. The more I use it the more I find some powerful tools in there. The Dynamic Contrast and Texture tools in Perfect Effects are very good. The textures can be done in Photoshop as well, but I find the onOne interface to be a lot easier to figure out (I've only tried PS texturing a couple times and imagine like anything else the more you do it the easier it gets). It's a nice compliment to the Nik Collection, though I'd still go with Nik if I had to choose only one. I'm almost inclined to recommend the Perfect Photo Suite in lieu of Photoshop for someone who is just starting out. It has many of the features but with an easier interface, and it can work standalone without the need for Lightroom or Photoshop to call it, as is required by the Nik Collection. [/QUOTE]
