That's a pretty nice image and the Perfect Effects looks like it does a pretty nice job. I downloaded it and of course it won't run on any of my current machines.

I'd much rather hear someone's honest opinion that a meaningless platitude like "nice capture". I can relate, as I'm normally very sensitive to things being not level myself. It is just that in this case it was a very conscious choice. I did not see it afterwards and just decide to go with it. This image was taken almost like (I imagine) a photojournalist in war works. You see something, you get out and grab it with little time to lose, using your instincts to compose and frame the shot. I even ran farther down the road, away from my car when I realized that I needed to make the tree appear a bit larger in the composition and get it before the magical light left the scene. (Working with a 10-20mm can be a challenge). I also wanted the telephone pole to appear vertical, since one would expect them to be. If I made the horizon straight the telephone poles would be at an angle. But I especially remember making a conscious choice of angle and composition so that those weeds would go to the bottom right corner. I learned how important that could be on the similarly composed: "A Road Less Traveled" https://www.flickr.com/photos/pixelsmithy/4722534814/ I must admit that I did not consciously do it with that exposure, but I noted how important that line of road weeds to the bottom right corner was in that composition. And I applied that lesson in the framing of this shot. Given more time, perhaps there was a way to do it all... get the horizon perfectly level AND get the weeds going to the corner, but I'm not sure I would have liked the result better than the image I got. At the end of the day, the main person I want to impress with my images is myself - partly because I'm not easily impressed and partly because I'm as hard on my own work as anybody can be (I think). But I also know when I've got a decently strong image, and it seems that when I do find one - I'm not alone in that opinion, at least most of the time. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Free download Perfect Effects 8
I agree with your assessment, Brian. I'm long overdue to really learn Photoshop masking. As an old film darkroom guy I think I get the concept, I just need to learn how to get just the areas I want using the available Photoshop tools. PS... when you install Perfect Effects 8 you are given the option to LEAVE old versions or OVERWRITE them.

Re: Free download Perfect Effects 8
If you like Perfect Effects, you might want to try the entire suite. It's available in three different flavors - a Stand Alone, a plug-in that works with PS, PSE, LR and Aperture, and a Premium that includes both of these. Their product support is the best I've encountered, with quick response from a real person to questions, several free webinars a month and other freebies they call loyalty rewards. The webinars are all recorded for free review. -p On 5/12/2014 11:41 AM, Darren Addy wrote: From the README (post-installation): Optional Integration • Adobe Photoshop CS5, CS6, CC • Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, 11, 12 • Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 or 5 - - - - - Also, this is the page that you are redirected to after installing: http://www.ononesoftware.com/install/effects8 On Mon, May 12, 2014 at 11:38 AM, Darren Addy wrote: While we are at it, here is a list of Perfect Effects 8 tutorial videos from the onOne Software U (YouTube channel): https://www.youtube.com/user/onOneSoftwareU/search?query=Perfect+Effects+8 On Mon, May 12, 2014 at 11:32 AM, Darren Addy wrote: Saw this while catching up on PetaPixel.
