OnOne Perfect Photo Suite 6

Go to last post
The modules I've played with work fine, as a matter of fact PhotoTools seems much faster than the previous version.

With some of the new "perfect" modules I'm experiencing hangs when trying to cancel out of the module without applying any effects. I get the spinning beacball, I then go to the dock click on the onone symbol and the cancel is completed. A small inconvenience but at least it doesn't crash any other programs that are running.
 
Yes, a reboot to my computer solved most of the speed issues,

It’s working okay for me, but I did receive a message that the Windows firewall had blocked Perfect Layers. I’ve never used Perfect Layers and I have no idea why it’s attempting network access through a non-standard port, or why it’s even running at all.

Get a Mac?

Are you suggesting that a Mac wouldn't have caught the program trying to access the net inappropriately and warned me?
 
Depends on what you mean by "inappropriately". Most software today do a check on startup to see if there are "updates" available. In general, this is a good thing. You can set the firewall on a Mac to catch such things, but it seems to me that many more of these queries are benign than malignant.

Only my opinion. It's worth what you paid for it. Your mileage may vary! ;-}

I’ve never run the program that caused the warning. It’s a plug-in for Lightroom, and I don’t even have Lightroom installed.

I agree that checking for updates isn’t inappropriate, but that doesn’t trigger firewall warnings because it’s performed using standard ports and protocols. There’s no telling what Perfect Layers was attempting to do, or why.
 
Do the potrait facial recognition features require as much fine tuning as they do in Potrait Professional before you can begin applying changes?
 
Does the Onone suite 6 replace 5.5 on a PC, or does it exist along side it?
Thanks for any info.
Tom
 
I have both and it is coexisting nicely alongside my 5.5 - which is good because while the new PhotoEffects is nice I am already missing some of the often used effects and features from PhotoTools 2.6
 
Are you on a Mac or did you change the default install directory on a Win PC?

I tried it on W7/64 @ i2720QM/8gb and it was very slow... removed it within 30 minutes... useless

Speed seems to be nearly instantaneous on my system, but I still occasionally get the firewall warning about Perfect Layers, even though I don’t even use that program.

I had Symantec Endpoint Protection antivirus warnings about a several executables that trial downloaded from OnOne website installs...

Speaking about your experience - what are the parameters that your system have and what are the sizes of the images that you tried ? just curious... my images were 16mp 16bit TIFFs... 64bit CS5...

It’s nothing out of the ordinary. Intel i7 920 CPU and low-end Radeon video. I use both Photoshop 32 and 64. Files are 18MP 16-bit TIFF.

Symantec has a long history of false alarms, so that's probably not a concern.
 
So far it has worked for me with NEF,CR2 and DNG raw files. MRW files do not seem to be supported, but can be converted to DNG and opened.

Perfect Suite opens the raw files as 16bit PSD files. When saved and opened in Photoshop the file is opened as a 16 bit PSD with GENERIC RGB file type embedded in the file.

I don't remember being able to open raw files in previous onone suite products.
But I could be mistaken.
 
I tried the trial on my i5 MacBook Pro and found it to be excruciatingly slow. I had to ditch it. I'm surprised that a software developer would release a product that slow, these days.
