[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 456823, member: 12257"] I own the Photo Suite and love it. It's easy to take a preset and deconstruct or add to get the exact look you're after, and the portrait module is quite nice to tweak with. It's sold as a standalone product, but I prefer to do all my cropping/straightening/cataloging in LR, and I much prefer the healing brush and cloning abilities of PS (not to mention the perspective tool), so I use them all. LR first, then to the Perfect Suite and back to LR (all easily automated). If there's any healing, cloning, or perspective work to be done, I go to PS 2nd, and then an easy automated port to the Suite and back to PS before saving the final copy back to LR. There are also a lot of tutorials on their site, along with monthly sampling of new presets to add. The only downside is with upgrades, as they charge for the next round where the NIK tools do not. Some here swear by the NIK collection, but for my style/approach, I've found the Suite to be a bit more user friendly (NIK is NOT hard, btw) toward how I approach and do things. It's definitely a good bit of editing software, to be sure. [/QUOTE]
