If you read my blog over the last year or two, you'd know that I was a fan of Perfectly Clear by Athentech because it really was a one-click photo editing tool. With 3.0 the user interface got much better and with version 3.5 it hits a home run!
Raw Editor
Built-in RAW Editor means you don't need any other software to edit your photos
The stand-alone features a raw editor that gets the job done, but I'll admit that it's not as good as other products out there. However, if you want a one product photo editing workflow, it gets the job done.
Crop tool works well and offers several different overlays
In the stand-alone version you can easily crop with some great overlay choices including the rule of thirds and the golden ratio.
New Live Presets and Looks Panels
One of the nicest improvements is that you can see what your presets and looks will do before you click them as shown here:
Even better, you can apply a look on top of your preset to get two layers of editing in just two quick clicks. What's more, you can dial down the look directly from the window using the opacity slider.
Version 3.5 Phot Editing Tutorial
Here's a quick video where I show how quickly I can edit 8 photos that come straight out of the camera with no prior edits ...
NOTE: YouTube degrades the quality of the original 4k recording so there are compression artifacts that look bad in dark areas - this does not happen in the real product:
Before & After Images
Here's some before and after edits I did using version 3.0 and in the video above you can watch the video of changes made using the v3.5 update (free to v3.0 owners):

Conclusion
This product has come such a long way and gets better and better with each version. I was expecting a small update with v3.5, but instead I was extremely impressed with all of the enhancements. For users of Photoshop and Lightroom, you can still integrate it in as the first and/or last step of your photo editing workflow. For those who want a single solution, it is fantastic as a stand-alone solution that allows for blazing fast one click edits of your images.
