 Re: Sharpening plug-in | |
I recently took advantage of the deal you mentioned for Sharpener Pro and Dfine and now have the whole Nik suite.
I really like their products; however, they do not work with CS4 64 bit. Nik says they wil. Eventually. No doubt when they do, it will involve a paid upgrade to the next version.
To answer your question, I find that I'm getting significantly better sharpening results than I was using just PS. I suspect if you're skilled enough and patient enough you can produce very similar results in PS, but for me it was worth the price. The Upoint technology plus the ability to paint on the sharpening to just the desired areas are standout features for me.
You can watch brief tutorials on their various products on Nik's website. You can also download fully functional trial versions.
Hope this helps.
