Studio Photography magazine
March 2008 user review by photographer Neil Martin.
"When Digital Anarchy introduced Primatte 3.0, my photography market expanded. The new version has better color-spill correction features... I now process images in groups, without stopping to examine and mask each image individually... With properly photographed images, hundreds of images can be masked at once." |

Digital Arts magazine (formerly Digit)
August 2007 review by Neil Bennett. Rating 4.5/5 stars and 'Best Buy' award.
"PROS: Fast and efficient workflow. Works as Smart Filter. Light Wrap for more realistic comps... Primate Chromakey for Photoshop CS3 is an excellent tool for designers working with large numbers of well-shot cutouts – catalogue designers will find it a godsend – though you or your photographer will have to invest in some greenscreen paint.." |

Studio Photography magazine
September 2006 user review by photographer Charles Mortel.
"With Primatte [2.0], I can give my clients a custom look that integrates the background, subject, and supporting icons into a cohesive graphic layout, easily and efficiently. Without Primatte, it would be much more difficult to differentiate my work from photographers who drop their pictures into memory mates or framed digital templates." |

MacAddict magazine
May 2005 review. Primatte received a 'Great Buy' 4/5 stars.
"Digital Anarchy's Primatte Chromakey 2.0 is a clever Adobe Photoshop plug-in that slashes masking time... The bottom line. Chromakey may be expensive for serious amateurs, but it's money well spent for pros." |

Photoshop User magazine
October 2004 roundup of chromakey plugins. Ben Wilmore gave Primatte the 'Best Buy' recommendation.
"I'd recommend Digital Anarchy's Primatte Chromakey 2.0. The program is easy to learn and comes with an excellent manual, not to mention Digital Anarchy's friendly support staff."

SoftMag A/G, Norway
August 2004 review in by Thomas Thorp. Primatte received 5/6 stars. (Norweigen language is used below)
"Primatte Chromakey er en plugin som gjør jobben svært godt. Den takler meget kompliserte bilder og tar til og med bort skygge. Mer trenger heller ikke lyset å være perfekt, for å få gode resultater... Ellers er det bare positive ting med denne plugin og kan anbefales til alle som lager produktkataloger, fotografer og privatpersoner som ønsker å lage spesial effekter. Har du nok penger, er dette uten tvil et godt kjøp!" |

"The user interface is more sophisticated than Cinematte's... It's easier to get satisfactory semi-transparent hair cutouts." |
