- My name's Rich Harrington and I hope you enjoyed…this look at Macphun software.…Remember, the Macphun apps are really designed…to be used together.…In this course we explored often handing…things back and forth between applications.…The use of the ability to remove things with Snapheal…or to get rid of noise are very important steps…in getting to a finished image.…I would encourage you to get a good clean image…before you start to add effects.…Now, you might find yourself merging an HDR…or cleaning up the image with noise first.…
Once that's done, then you can consider…starting to stack on those effects…and go for a stylized look.…The use of Macphun software can be used…in a wide range of workflows.…Remember, if you're using the CK edition…these are available as plugins for both Photoshop,…Lightroom, and Aperture if you're still using…that application.…You also have the ability to use the Mac App Store edition…and all editions with Photos for OS X.…What I recommend is stick with your favorite host…application to process the images.…
