I am a little behind in sharing this great new product with everyone, but onOne Software has new software coming out for Adobe Lightroom. It’s called Perfect Layers. Basically, it adds Photoshop style Layers functionality to Lightroom by way of the plugin.
Perfect Layers 1.0 is free to owners of the Perfect Photo Suite 5.5 (aka Plug-In Suite 5.5). Perfect Layers will appear as a software update when it becomes available in a couple of weeks.
The price of onOne Software’s Perfect Layers will be $129.95. However, during the pre-order period for Perfect Layers 1.0, onOne Software is discounting the price an extra $30 to just $99.95.

I recommend picking it up as it might keep you out of Photoshop even more! If you’re reading this after the pre-order period ends, make sure you enter the coupon code scottwyden to save 15% off the purchase!
I’ve been seriously considering this software as all I want Photoshop for is layers, but this would be much less. Definitely would come in handy for my cloudy skies shots. :)

Do you have the suite?
I’ve been using Perfect Layers, I really love it, especially for combo ND-10/HDR images. Thanks for sharing!
The possibilities are endless – and this is only the beginning :-)
