I saw a similar offer a while back to get Perfect Effects 8 for free, so I’ve used it on a few photos.  I find it particularly interesting for conversion to black and white, since I can pre-process in Adobe Lightroom, transfer the photo to Perfect Effects and select from many conversions and fine tune the effects, then a TIF file is transferred back to Lightroom for any additional fine tuning required.  It’s flexible, fast and seamless. (I’m not sponsored by either company, just sharing a workflow that I’m exploring and finding useful.)

There can also be an interesting outcome de-saturating a color image for an aged photo look, or restoring/improving color on an image which has had its color affected by another process such as HDR. Hop on over to my Perfect Effects Flickr album and see some examples. I’ll add more images to Flickr for the album shortly.
