I haven't tried to see if it reads or uses XMP sidecar files yet tho I expect it doesn't.ĮDIT- Just checked and yes it supports two kinds of XMP. I set it to send a ProPhoto 16bit Tiff which CS6 liked. It has the usual "Edit In External App" feature and that worked with PS when I tried it. Is it set up to interface well with PS, stand along or both?Ĭool, give it whirl! And I'm not sure about the PS thing yet. I'm not a fan of the catalogs either, +1 hierarchical folders. I'll see how it plays on an old T60, 1.83GHz C2D, 32bit, maxed 3GB on Vista. Something like a Tor network which makes you location independent. But you can only take advantage of the deal if you're either in the USA or are using Right now Amazon has it for sale for $14.99 as a download. Me, I'm uninstalling LR all together - that's for sure! They've put together quite a system with hordes of free plug-ins and a fairly I have a feeling some here will be typing CASP or ASP in their posts more often than LRįrom now on. DL the trial version, walk through all the preferences to optimize it for your particular system, then try out all the features, andĬome back here and tell us what you thought - good or bad. That's fast in the extreme - given the machine spec! Batch processing 100 such 16mpx GH2 raw files took considerably less time with an average 0.63 seconds for each. Processing, converting, and saving one raw-to-jpeg image at a time occurs in about 0.8 seconds with every slider and adjustment set to something My little old MP1,1 with GTX570 can select, apply many many adjustments, and display GH2 RAW files in 0.27s or 3 FPS depending how you look at it. And the various tool pallets can be docked and floated for us multi-monitor users. It's got Versioning, Stacking, Keywording, Tagging, and Star Rating to help with progressive edit revisions and soįorth. No fancy wipes or anything but this is a RAW processor so I'm not sure how fitting something Interval, border offsets, and so on as available options. It also has a slide-show feature but it's fairly simplistic with just PDF files, Proof (Contact) Sheets, and so on. Or Aperture, there's no learning curve to deal with - just a HUGE speed increase and who doesn't want that? It has some nice output featuresīut nothing others don't have IIRC. The review-and-select toolsĪre similar to all other good PP apps I've tried so finding, sorting, and tagging stuff is done in the usual ways. User definable folders for all of its cache, work, proofs, previews, and profiles so it won't make a mess of things either. It supports catalogs which I personally dislike, and also OS hierarchal folder structures of your own devise - which is what I prefer. Up version of NoiseNinja and B&W processor with selective color capabilities. It sports a plug-inĪrchitecture but I haven't looked yet to see what APIs it's using nor if the plugs are compatible with those from/for other apps. I guess the spline data is saved in either of it's two kinds of XMP sidecar files. The selection splines can be editedĪt any time during editing or after saving the files out. Options for independent layers which allow opacity and unique selection spline sets and/or brush strokes per layer. Layer brushing can be as accurate as 2 pixels and selection areas are sub-pixel accurate. It has layer masks for selective editing and processing. The last 4 or 5 revision releases have offered OpenCL support as you can see from the image above. Much faster than LR on my liquid-cooled 16-core 4+ GHz Boxx 8980 XTREME with dual Tesla cards and 32GB RAM!Īll the usual raw processing tools plus some unexpected goodies are presented in a pretty slick highly customizable, gooey (GUI): Running AfterShot Pro on my ancient 2006 MacPro1,1 (w/32GB RAM, and 8-cores of x5355 Xeon at 2.67GHz & GTX570) acts The Corel site starts off the introductory blurb with "Corel® AfterShot™ Pro is a fast." and as these kinds of blurbs typically go they're drastically There's a trial version available on the home site here. It's available for Windows, Mac, and Linux so you're afforded a bit of platform freedom with it. Man, have you guys used this yet? Drop the poorly-written slow-as-molasses LightRoom and put aside CaptureOne for awhile and give this a try! I just got this only a yesterday but I've found that's about the same as a few weeks for the less app-aggressive users out there.
