The Perfect Layers 1 Software from onOne Software is a plug-in application for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and Apple Aperture that was designed in collaboration with Photoshop expert Scott Kelby. the software makes it possible to combine multiple images from Lightroom, Aperture, or any other imaging application into a singled layered file. You can adjust size, position, and blending by using layer masks. You can also add Color Fill Layers to create unique photographic effects.
Create Layered Files in Lightroom and Aperture
Perfect Layers allows you to create, open or merge layered Photoshop files and work on them directly from Photoshop Lightroom or Apple Aperture. If you have used Photoshop before you understand the benefits and capabilities that layers bring to your workflow.
Not a Photoshop user? This is for you too!
If you're not a heavy duty Photoshop user, Perfect Layers is the simple yet powerful way to experience the creative possibilities layers offer. For example you could take two exposures of the same scene and merge them into one file with the correct overall exposure.
You could also take two images of the same family portrait setting and merge them to a single file so you can take the best smiles from the two images. You could even combine multiple images to create a montage or album page layout.
The files that are created by Perfect Layers are non-destructive and can even be opened and edited by Photoshop and Photoshop Elements later if desired.

Blending Modes
Perfect Layers brings the power and creativity of blending modes to Lightroom and Aperture. Blending layers together, especially copies of the same or similar image, is at the heart of Perfect Layers. By changing the blending modes, you can control the brightness, contrast and color of the image to dramatically alter the appearance. And, by adjusting the opacity, you can control the strength of the effect. Get amazing and highly stylized effects with simple blending modes in Perfect Layers.
Masking Tools
With Perfect Layers you can control how much of each layer is visible by using the familiar MaskingBrush and MaskingBug from PhotoTools 2.6. Similar to using a layer mask, you can paint with the MaskingBrush to reveal or hide areas of a layer.
With the MaskingBug you can quickly create gradient masks for making vignettes and graduated filter effects. Both tools work together and are non-destructive and can even be re-edited with Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. If you use Wacom pressure sensitive tablet, you can even control the brush size or opacity with how hard you press while painting.

Color Fill Layers
Perfect Layers can create new layers, filled with a solid color. These color fill layers can be used to change the color of layers under them. These are non-destructive, re-editable adjustments.
Perfect Layers includes presets that simulate common color correction and black and white conversion filters. You can also use the built-in masking tools to selectively place and control the strength of these color fill effects.
