I saw this on HUKD and it works great, installed fine and works on its own or part of something like photoshop. Requires 8GB of RAM and a 64-bit operating system, Windows 7 or higher, or Mac OS X 10.7 or higher.

I think you are supposed to be a subscriber or something but it seems to work fine for anyone. Available HERE

Did you get the plugin to be visible in CS?
 
Did it happen automatically after the install or did you need to do something else?
 
Ah, the too hard question :D
 
Was interested until I saw that it needs a minimum of 8GB RAM, so I'll just need to make do with Lightroom and Elements that are happy to run on half that amount.
 
Brilliant, thanks John :)
 
Thank You for the link, I was thinking to buy it but now got it for free.
 
Thanks John, just downloading now.
 
Just downloaded. Will give it a try out tomorrow.

Cheers John.
 
I don't, but I've a) not tried to use it yet and b) probably will have soon on either the macbook or desktop system.
 
Many thanks for that, John.
 
Nice one. Installed on the mac nicely. I doubt I would pay full whack for it but it's a pretty good freebie. Thanks for the link. :-)
 
Downloaded, will give it a try over the weekend...:ty: John. It looks like a pretty good FREEBY - for a few more days at least ;)

Regards,

Bill :)

The plugin is under file-automate not the usual place and yes it did it itself when installing

If this is your first onOne plugin a new icon should appear in the Photoshop extension panel (see Window menu > Extensions > onOne). Here it is in CS6, together with the other onOne plugins that were already installed on my machine. The problem is none of them will actually launch from here - I spoke to onOne about it and they couldn't figure out why.

I haven't tried CC because the other plugin (the really useful AllToolsCS6 - the one with the snowflake icon, as shown in post 25's pic) isn't written for CC and therefore won't work.

Anyway, all three onOne plugins do work in CS6 32bit but none of them work in CS6 64bit (the onOne interfaces launch but then they close again immediately). onOne's tech people tried to find out why but couldn't solve it. Here's part of the lengthy email conversation I had with them:

.......... I have had an answer from the head office. If you did an over install the files might not have gotten overwritten. Manually Delete the onOne panel, run the latest installer and see what happens. We use the built-in Flash runtime that ships with Photoshop. We've done everything Adobe has ever said on how to make a panel and there are going to be some occasions where this might happen. Even Adobe has looked at the panel and has said there's nothing in it that would cause any kind of failure. So unless something is wrong with the Flash in the 64-bit version which might require a fresh install of Photoshop I would recommend sticking with File/automate which supports actions whereas the menu does not and not having the Suite means that it is not really a faster option anyway.

We appreciate you contacting us. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to reply to this email or call us at the number below.

Kind Regards,

Hi Andy,

If the standalone version of 7.5.1 is already running, launching from the extensions panel in Photoshop closes the standalone version.

Rolling back to 7.5 doesn’t change anything - it still won’t launch from the extensions panel.

So far, I had only tried launching from the 64-bit version of Photoshop CS6. I just tested the 32-bit version and Perfect Resize launches properly from the extensions panel - this is true for both 7.5 and 7.5.1. So the problem appears to be compatibility - i.e. the files used to install Perfect Resize in the extensions panel are not compatible with 64-bit Photoshop.

Regards ………
 
BTW this app really needs that 8GB memory - it will fall over with terminal consequences with less.
 
I have it and its running fine on my Mac mini with 6gig ram :) well pleased.
I was considering uping ram to 16gig

I have since had it work on both Macbook and Win8.1 box with 4Gb. However it uses almost every scrap of memory and gets very slow. A couple of times when the image was saved back to lightroom it had square sections of distortion running across where blur filters had been used.

It's not bad, but bear in mind that you can do pretty much everything and more in LR and certainly in PS. I uninstalled mine.

Yeah of course I reckon just about every filter out there could be duplicated in PS etc but this is an easy one click method which works well
 
I've found the brush tool much better in PE than lightroom: Adobe say themselves that LR isn't designed to use extensive brushwork, and I've found it gets very laggy & misbehaves. The one killer feature for me is dynamic contrast, which isn't replicatable in LR, but the rest of it is just a little different enough to help with taking an alternative view on processing some images.
