Smart Photo Editor

[pburness]

Has anybody else used this Smart Photo Editor from Anthropics?

It's really quite clever, also you can download the beta version for testing / evaluation or buy it for £6.95 - an absolute bargain. The masking tool is very clever.

Well worth a look.

I can imagine the comments of Flickr.... "Wow, nice work! Very creative"........ answered by.....

a. "Yes, I spent a couple of hours on it with Photoshop"

or

b. "Yes, it took five seconds on Smart Photo Editor"

but 2 hours in Photoshop is only for people who haven't discovered actions

True enough about Actions (but don't you feel as if you've cheated? unless, of course, you made them yourself).

Back to the Smart Editor - I downloaded it and installed it but really couldn't be bothered with the hassle of registering for it etc. I'd do that if I like it, not before.

I like to understand actions, I don't use third party actions very often but I do turn lots of my own stuff into actions, when you're processing 700 shots from a sports match they save a ton of time.

I have downloaded that programme though, just for research purposes you understand.

I joined the beta test programme for this software and have written a short review here if it helps?

Have you tried Lightroom? It makes applying settings to entire libraries even easier than PS actions

Matt,

I use Lightroom on my RAW files but prefer to finish tweaking in Photoshop.
