It's a pretty important distinction when one makes an absolute claim such as this one:

"Lightroom accepts PS plug-ins."

Which, as it turns out, was false.

What is the distinction? Actually, you are using a term that doesn't apply when you use "PS plug-ins" to mean OnOne and NIK. These companies don't claim to be "PS plug-ins" or "LR plug-ins". Nowhere on there sites does it claim that.

I never said they claimed it, either. But you do use plugins to extend the functions of Photoshop, regardless if you want to call it a "companion" or "cheese cake".

OnOne states that their program is a "companion" to Lightroom and "works seamlessly" with Photoshop. They say they offer presets for PS and LR.

That's really cool to hear, Tony. I'll be sure to write down that totally irrelevant tidbit somewhere.

Nik says they offer "powerful plug-ins for Photoshop and Lightroom".

But Tony said just above that Nik doesn't claim to be plug-ins! He'll be pissed at you now.

You won't find "A Photoshop plug-in" or "a Lightroom plug-in" anywhere on their sites.

Nor will you find them talking about a "binary file", but their download comes with one either way. Plugins are how they show up in the Photoshop CC and Lightroom menues, it's the method of interaction, and Tony once said this:

"Lightroom accepts PS plug-ins."

Which was false. I'm just letting him know this.

They both tell you that their program works with the Adobe products, and they do.

By supplying two different versions of the program, one for Photoshop, one for Lightroom. Well, two different plugins anyway, they both probably launch the same software (I haven't used onOne).

If you want to make up a claim, like "OnOne is not a PS plug-in", that the company itself does not claim otherwise, then there is no "true" or "false" because the claim is bogus.

I'll be sure to remember that if I ever feel the need to make such a stupid claim. Sounds more like something you'd say, though.

That said, and you know how I really like to shove your ignorance down your throat, here's a link for you:

http://www.ononesoftware.com/products/suite8/

"Perfect Photo Suite works as a plug-in and is a perfect companion to Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Lightroom, and Apple Aperture."

So not even that was something you could get right. It may be time for you to quietly vanish from this thread now.
