#Scott kelby perfect layers update
At that time, Perfect Photo Suite 5.5 owners will receive a free product update that will include Perfect Layers 1.0. The final version, 1.0, will be available for purchase in mid-2011. The Perfect Layers Public Preview will expire on June 30th, 2011. Scott has been playing with early development builds of Perfect Layers and he (and the rest of his team including Matt Kloskowski and RC Concepcion) are very excited about the possibilities that Perfect Layers will bring to Lightroom users. OnOne have been working closely with Scott Kelby from the National Association of Photoshop Professionals on Perfect Layers to refine the feature set and get great ideas in general on Lightroom users need. If you use Lightroom or Aperture and you’ve ever wanted to or wished you had the ability to create a layered file, then this is definitely for you.īeing able to take two or more files and combining them into a single layered file or taking a single image and duplicating it to create multiple layers and use blending modes to enhance them is very powerful and opens up all kinds of creative things you can do. Perfect Layers is a standalone application that works on its own allowing you to create and edit layered Photoshop files.
#Scott kelby perfect layers software
This is getting close to a scam if you ask me.OnOne Software have announced that a Public Preview of Perfect Layers is now available to download and try out, free of charge. I think it’s a very bad thing that Scott Kelby is willing to use his marketing power is such a misleading way. Yes, you are reading this correctly: Perfect Layers doesn’t do anything that Photoshop Elements can also do, but it cost twice as much. If you think Photoshop is too expensive for your taste, and that may be why Perfect Layers could be an alternative, think again: Photoshop Elements can also give your layers in this fashion (and a lot more that Perfect Layers doesn’t give you) and does so for half the price that OnOne Software charges for Perfect Layers. This is possible since day one that Lightroom exist. Photoshop can do that and Lightroom integrates Photoshop as an external editor. Layers in a PSD-copy is nothing special and certainly not a break-through in any way. You can’t create or edit ‘directly within Lightroom’ with this software. They say “With Perfect Layers you can create and edit multi-layered Photoshop files directly within Photoshop Lightroom”. That means that the claim that this plug-in adds layers to Lightroom is very questionable.
This plug-in doesn’t do at all what Scott Kelby suggests! It works like any other plug-in in Lightroom, meaning that it generates a PSD-copy of your RAW-image and adds layers to that copy! It doesn’t add layers to your Lightroom (RAW) workflow, it adds layers by bringing a copy outside of that workflow. There’s nothing wrong with that of course and it doesn’t make the plug-in less of a break-through if it does what Kelby suggests. First of all, it seems that Scott Kelby is one of the authors of Perfect Layers, or at least helped with the development.
However, anyone who looks at this plug-in a little better, will notice some things that put Scott’s claims in a different perspective.
It is available for Lightroom now and will also become available for Apple Aperture. The plug-in in question is made by OnOne Software and is called ‘Perfect Layers’. That clearly sounds like a break-through, and implies that you can now have layers integrated in your Lightroom workflow. On April 21st Photoshop and Lightroom guru Scott Kelby wrote on his blog: “Breaking News: Imagine having Layers in Lightroom.
