Any idea if this is a limited time price or is the new standard price.
Hello,
Are ALL the pieces of software separate? If I wanted to say Sharpen and image I just made BW do I have to then re-import/export to another Nik software or do they all integrate?
Thanks

I own all of their software, and each is a separate program. You can use Color Efex for example, apply the effects and then open Sharpener Pro and do the same. You may consider this imported and exporting but it is very fast (at least with PSCs5) and seamless ; at least for me.

Thanks, thats what I was looking to know. I don't use PS, but rather LR and PSE
I imagine it will be the same process.
If I have time I will do the free trial tonight.
I am a stupid person, but help me understand what software like this offers that CS6 doesn't?
Ease of use for those who don't use PS enough to be fast and good .
PS will do anything that plug ins will do, it is a matter of experience, time and practice.
Not too sure about that. I've been working with Photoshop since '02 (5.0) and the advancement of plug-ins like Topaz and Nik seem to have surpassed most of what many combos of PS filters and adjustments and refining of those combos accomplishes. And with Topaz, Nik, etc., there are myriad ways to manipulate, combine, fine-tune and blend that would just take so freakin' long in PS as to not be worth it.
Or (at least for me) just get LR and Nik. So much faster than PS and cheaper to.
I have had no need for PS since......
I you need PS.. fine but I laugh when people "have to have" it but barely even touch its capabilities above what LR is capable of.
Why would you spend $500? I got the Topaz free because we used it at work and the code is transferrable. It is a relatively cheap package to begin with, well under $200 and all upgrades are free. I got Nik from a friend, most of my software as educational versions and my PS7 (which I use for webpages) was also "borrowed" and is transferable. I could tell you how I got CS5, but then I'd have to kill you..Not too sure about that.

So basically one could spend $500+ on PS CS6. And still need to spend another $200 or so on plugins? Um ok.
