In figure 1, I preferred the mother and the two older daughters in the image on the right. While this may have been more of a problem with film, when the im-age could not be previewed until after development, it is still a problem for digital imagers.Īs part of a personal project, “Mothers/Daughters, Fa-thers/Sons,” I had the opportunity to photograph a mother and her four daughters. I do not believe there has ever been a portrait and wedding photographer who has not had at least one group photo ruined by one of the subjects blinking, or preferred the look of one subject over the same subject in an overall better image. What Perfect Layers will allow you to do, though, is blend im-ages together to create a perfect exposure balance between foreground and background, create composites of multiple im-ages for motor drive sequences, enhance colors through Blending modes, swap skies and heads, in less time than it takes to perform the same task in Photoshop. While Perfect Layers does not support the more advanced Photoshop features such as Smart Objects and Layers Adjust-ments, it will import these features and any changes or en-hancements previously made in Photoshop or Lightroom. Perfect Layers is a breakthrough that increases the power of Lightroom and Aper-ture while streamlining the workflow when it becomes neces-sary to manipulate an image. Perfect Layers adds the power of Layers using tools similar to those found in Photoshop. Recently, onOne introduced what I believe to be the most exciting and useful plug-in for Lightroom and Aperture, Per-fect Layers. One of the companies vying to be a leader in this arena is onOne Software, located in Portland, Oregon.
But most everything else can be found in Lightroom or Aperture.īuilt into both of these programs, especially Lightroom, is the ability to use third-party plug-ins. Simply put, if you need to swap heads in a photo, or if you need to use Liquify to apply a digital tummy tuck, then Photoshop is your tool. Color correction, cropping, spotting, and printing tools can all be found in these two easy-to-learn pro-grams. Many digital imagers, particularly those who make their liv-ing at it, have found that the program they use the most is no longer Adobe Photoshop but Lightroom, or its Mac-tailored counterpart Aperture.
