Thread: Plug-in gives Layers to LR and Aperture

For those who would like to utilize layers in either LR or Aperture, there is a plug-in, in Beta:

Thank you for this. This could really open things up.
I'm waiting for LR to be able to do actions, then I'll be happy.
Let's follow this closely.....

I am not a PS user, but I do use LR. What would a simplified (because that's what it looks like) Layers program give you that LR can't do with it's localized brush? Sharpening, exposure, contrast, etc. -- all localized -- can be done with the brush, including with an auto-mask. What would this layers program add?

Historically, I didn't use layers much as my equipment (computing power or lens quality) always seemed lacking ... that's right, it's the equipment's fault not mine :)

But I no longer have that excuse, so I hope to be pleasantly surprised like I was with LR3 and will give the demo a try.

I've never mastered the LR brushes..so I just use NIK software.
