Reviews for ON1 Effect 10.5
Perfect Effects 10.5 is essentially a photo-finishing tool that processes one image in its entirety. You do have masking capabilities, but no cropping, no rotation, no resizing, no clone or healing tools, no compositing of multiple images, no watermarking, nothing like that.
Within that limitation, though, it’s pretty powerful. It comes with over 400 presets in over 30 categories built-in, and more can be downloaded with the “Preset > Get More Presets…” menu option. For my taste, many of the presets are over-the-top, and many of the rest seem to be of novelty value only. I imagine that the Film presets are one of the most popular categories.
Once you get beyond the presets, this is a complicated program. There are hundreds of filters in 25 categories that you can choose from, each with its own set of adjustments. Many filters have presets of their own to try to make them easier to use. It can be a bit daunting, especially for someone who might not be familiar with common post-processing functions and terminology.
In the end, I feel it’s what it claims to be: a program for applying special effects — via the presets. Using it as a more general photo-finishing program comes with a steep learning curve and little assistance, and for all that you’ll still be missing some basic capabilities.

I don’t think you understand what “steep learning curve” actually means: to receive a large amount of benefit in a short time.
Most likely that is what the opposite of what you intended. It may sound impressive, but it is incorrect.
BTW, it is standard high school math where time is the horizontal axis and returns are the vertical.
ON1 Effect 10.5 is a powerful photo editing tool that works as a stand-alone software and also as a plug-in for Photoshop, Lightroom, Elements and Apple Photos. It contains hundreds of unique filters, presets, borders and textures to help you develope and enhance you own distinct style.

Conclusion
ON1 Effect 10.5 is a software built for experts and novice both. Although it is still dwarfed in comparison to the dominant softwares like Adobe Photoshop and Apple Aperture but considering the negligible price it is surely one good photo editing software. I would definitely recommend it to those looking for a cheap yet poweerful and productive photo editor. It is also recommended for those who are beginners in this field. Lack of tutorials and support forums does make it difficult to learn but once you get used to it you can create images like that from a professional.
Re-installed Windows, the current serial number is no longer good. Throw in the trash!
If you think it is impossible to find a free yet powerful photo editing software, think again. The Perfect Effects 9.5 Premium Edition is your incredible photo manipulation software that will cost you absolutely nothing! As unbelievable as that might seem, this software works fine and can either be used as a plugin for Photoshop, Apple Aperture or Lightroom, or as a stand-alone photo editing tool.
What’s Different?
Perfect Effects provides a blend between software meant for experts and that of novices. You can easily take control of your images and create special effects from scratch or use its multiple functions to auto-generate quality effects. Whichever way, your final image will always boast of a professional look.
Additionally, you get a software that is capable of working with other editors to create images exactly the way you need them. It is fast and easy to use.
Features
Perfect Effects allows you to create custom presets and add multiple effects thanks to an extensive library of one-click presets. It also has manual controls and adjustable filters that are integral for designers of distinct skill levels to understand and use. You only need to familiarize with the software for a few minutes before you are capable of creating mind-blowing images.
Tools & Effects
A photo editing software needs powerful tools and effects to render a photographer’s creativity vividly. When it comes to multiple effects, Perfect Effects has very little to boast of compared to Photoshop or Apple Aperture, although it is still capable of working perfectly. The available effects are flexible and can be used to create a stunning finish on your photos.
Its simplicity is evident as it only takes a single click to enhance an image. With over 20 filters, you can develop any image to display your creativity as well as attention to detail.
Pros
Perfect Effects 9 features a couple of presets –all of which can be applied effortlessly with a single click. It is powerful with a lot of tools and over 20 filters, and its user interface makes photo editing fun and easy.
You can preview images during editing, which makes it simpler to compare different layers without having to save each one of them. Additionally, you can view your photos in gallery mode complete with breadcrumbs and previous and next buttons. This makes it very efficient.
Cons
The number of features and effects available on Perfect Effects 9 are dwarfed by those included in the most dominant photo editing software like Apple Aperture and Photoshop. There is also very little support and very few video tutorials exist. This means that you will have to learn most of the things without any help.
Conclusion
Perfect effects is a decent software, built with both novices and professionals in mind. However, it doesn’t make the cut when compared to the most popular photo manipulation tools. It also lacks support in forums, and you do not have freedom of choice when selecting tutorials. Perfect Effects software is, therefore, better suited as a plugin to leading photo editing software or when used to make quick adjustments to your photos. But considering it only costs $59.95 — a fraction of the cost of other software — this is a fairly good package.
