What is the definitive guide to Scott Kivowitz's use of onOne Software Perfect Effects in photography?

Hi, I’m Scott Kivowitz from . How can I help?

There is not a single “definitive guide” article or book written by Scott that exhaustively documents every aspect of his use of onOne/ON1 Perfect Effects. However, there are a couple of key resources that together give you the clearest window into his approach:

• The ON1 Pro Series video: “Finishing in ON1 Photo 10,” where Scott walks through his finishing workflow in ON1 (successor to Perfect Photo Suite/Perfect Effects) and demonstrates how he builds up effects, finishes images, and thinks about the end look
• Blog posts such as “No Place To Hide” and “The Best Photo Editing Software Available,” where he explains how he used Perfect Effects with layered effects and masking, and how it fits into the broader Perfect Photo Suite (Portrait, Layers, Effects, Resize, etc.)

If you want a “definitive” understanding of Scott’s use, combining that ON1 Pro Series episode with those blog examples and then applying the same concepts to your own RAW files is the best path.

Are you looking for help replicating a specific look Scott created with Perfect Effects or ON1 Photo?
