Give your photos the professional look without having to learn the complicated steps in Photoshop. PhotoTools 1.0 Professional Edition plugin for Photoshop includes a comprehensive library of 250 effects and photo enhancements designed by Jack Davis and onOne Software.

PhotoTools instantly gives your image the professional look. Everyone knows that Photoshop is powerful, but it has tons of dials and knobs to learn. Plus you really have to know a lot to get the kind of look, or effect that you want for your image. PhotoTools makes it faster and easier to get the professional look. We worked with Jack Davis and Kevin Kubota, two of the best known Photoshop gurus for photographers, to take their years of experience and artistic eyes and make it easy to add amazing and authentic professional looks to your images in just a few clicks.

PhotoTools gives you access to a complete library of effects including image optimization, artistic pro looks and finishing touches. You can stack multiple effects on top of each other, just like stacking filters over the lens on a camera. You preview and control your results full screen so you can see exactly what you are going to get. You can also save a stack of effects so you can apply it in a single click or even share it with a friend.
