PhotoTune – this one simply allows you to easily color correct your photo.This one has saved my butt on many occasions when I needed to extract someone from a background.
Mask Pro (my favorite) – allows you to mask difficult objects such as hair, glass or smoke/fog.You can control the focal point and even have multiple focal points. FocalPoint – a plug-in to allow photographers to create a realistic depth of field effect in their photos.Some of the plug-ins are also accessible from within Lightroom 2 or Aperture 2.1. The plug-ins are accessed right inside the "host application", which can be Adobe Photoshop CS2, Cs3 or CS4 as well as Photoshop Elements 6 or 8 on the Mac or Elements 6, 7 or 8 on PC. Good question and I think that most people see the name and have no idea what this product is or whether or not they need it? Plug-in Suite 5 is a set of 6 powerful plug-ins for Photoshop that can be used by photographers of all skill levels. Yep, it looks like I'll be using much more of this version of the Suite than I ever have before. That only leaves Focal Point which also interests me. Now with Plug-in Suite 5 I'm very intrigued by PhotoTune and PhotoTools. I was also using Genuine Fractals on occasion. When I upgraded to Plug-in Suite 4 I was using Mask Pro and PhotoFrame quite a bit. However, usually the way suites work is that if you're going to use 2 or more of the products you end up saving money by buying the suite as opposed to the individual products. Now I'll be the first to admit (like most suites) that I don't use every single feature/plug-in in the suite. I first got turned on to this powerful set of plug-ins back when it was version 3 and have been hooked ever since. The good folks over at onOne Software have shipped onOne Plug-in Suite 5. One of my favorite Photoshop Plug-in Suites just got upgraded.
