About the New Pro Features In DreamSuite
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about the DreamSuite Pro version. The DreamSuite Pro version includes advanced technologies that make DreamSuite a more robust imaging program that is capable of giving you better results. The main difference between the Pro and the Classic version of DreamSuite lies in the SmartLayers (tm) functionality.
The Pro version of DreamSuite uses SmartLayer technologies to build effects on layers that work together to form a composite effect. The Pro version also includes the ability to create layer masks, correction layers, photo layers and effect layers. It even allows you to save and reload presets that rebuild your layers, masks and settings so you can apply the same effect to other images.
Features and Benefits
Here are some of the new additions included in the DreamSuite Pro version:
- SmartLayers is a robust layering system that lets you combine masking, photos, effects and color correction layers together in one document. Click here to learn more about SmartLayers.
- Masking Layers allow you to quickly and cleanly mask areas of your image to apply effects to the areas you desire.
- Correction Layers enable you to adjust color details like RGB and HSB to get the perfect balance of colors for your effects.
- Effect Layers stack on top of each other on the layers palette so that you can combine different effects in the same document. Apply Liquid Metal and Gel effects together or use FilmGrain to enhance a PhotoToned image. The possibilities are infinite!
- Photo Layers allow you to add new photos and composite them together. Change layer opacity, layer order, clone and delete layers.
- Unlimited undo / redo functionality lets you go back as far as you like. Undo brush strokes, effect settings, object transformations and more.
- Layer Presets let you save an effect and all layers used to create the effect and then apply the result to another image or set of artwork. Load Layer Presets using visual thumbnails displayed in the new Layer Preset catalog.
- Hundreds of New Presets have been created just for the new Pro versions of our DreamSuite products. These new creative presets let you instantly apply effects that give you results like the samples you see on our site.
- Faster performance. The new Pro version has increased rendering speed and operation on both Macintosh and Windows systems. Speed increases range from 50% - 300% depending on the effect, image size and machine. DreamSuite Pro is optimized for increased speed gains when used with a dual or hyper-threaded processor enabled machine.
- AutoUpdate. Always keep current with updates with the new AutoUpdate feature. Connect to the internet, launch our software and you can automatically download and install any updates and creative enhancements we have made to the software while you continue to work.

| In the example above the original image color is blue. A Correction Layer was added to change the color of the image to purple. A Crackle effect from DreamSuite Series One was then applied. Next a Deckle effect was added to the Crackled image. Using the SmartLayers you can click on the layer you want to adjust and make your changes. The effect then renders your changes and all layers update themselves. |
