I have OnOne, and it works as a plug-in for both Photoshop and Lightroom or as a stand-alone. It's no different in use from editing in Photoshop from Lightroom.

Who talked about use, Tony? I specifically asked whether or not it was the same actual plugin, or two versions of the plugin - one for each application.

Tony Cooper
Dunno, Popinjay. All I know is that it works in use, and that's the only thing that matters. What's the point of worrying over whether the installer installs two different versions or not if the program works in use?

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

Tony Cooper Re: post processing 03/13/2014 <evo3i9p9n2fuik675s20suc9q39b7kqlq3@4ax.com>

"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.

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

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

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

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

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.
