I don't use all of the OnOne products but they seem to be well thought out. I bought the entire suite for Lightroom when they had a promotion a while ago. It was under a hundred dollars. The combination of Lightroom and the OnOne suite would probably eliminate the need for Photoshop for many, if not most people.
The only Nik product I've used is the HDR product. I prefer it to Photomatix, but I'm sure that's a personal preference thing. You could probably achieve similar results with either. I've had it on my "to-do someday" list to check out the other NIK products for over a year, but I've been reluctant to spend the money or invest the time, not knowing Google's intention for the products. This seems to send the message that they are committed to keeping them alive and making them affordable to a much larger group. You can be sure I'll take advantage of the free download offer. gs George Sinos -------------------- www.GeorgesPhotos.net www.GeorgeSinos.com On Tue, Mar 26, 2013 at 6:31 AM, Paul Sorenson <pentax1...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hmmm.
