Yeah i know, the same as NIK plugins.. Creating humungous TIF files at 80MB or more alongside the original RAW rather than a LR preset at about 8kb. Again if i’m not liquifying or healing i don’t see the point over customised presets apart from the initial time it takes to create them.

I use Alien Skin with LR3. I also shoot raw. What the plugin does is create a second tiff file when you go into the editing window and then saves it as a tiff in LR. It doesn’t manipulate the original raw file. Just the duplicate tiff file it creates. Pretty slick.

It’s a plugin for PS (and LR), when you edit the image in Alien Skin it outputs the edit in a new layer. You’re allowed to do whatever you’d like at that point on.

I’ve always been kinda sceptical to plug ins in general but Patrick vouched for it in one of the earlier posts so I had a go with it and it’s awesome! It doesnt really let me do anything i couldn’t do before, BUT it lets me get there so much faster, and everything is fully customizable so for me and my workflow it’s a winner!

Do I need to upload it to Facebook, or could I just post a link to the photo (let’s say Flickr)?

Facebook quality is terrible, and their copyrights seems to be constantly changing.

Oh, and by the way – I LOVE exposure 3. Best BW conversions I’ve done. Also great at colors, once you’ve learned all the little tips and tricks – to give it your personal look.

That’s fair enough, i can certainly see the appeal for wedding, sports and event photographers and the presentation for choice is good. I shoot predominantly close up beauty so a trip through photoshop is is still unavoidable for me as i retouch my own work.
