But, IMHO, once you've got the hang of it it's going to take some serious changes to the others to match it (in terms of IQ that is!) (I very, very nearly paid for the Pro version of C1 but SP-DS3 English Beta got to me before I paid out ) It may feel slower than C1 (especially the Pro version), but taking the overall time to work through a batch of shots I reckon it's about even with C1 - it's just different. SP-DS allows an unbelievable level of colour control, noise reduction, sharpening, plus lens adjustments (like chromatic aberration, distortions, and vignetting) and almost everything else you could imagine in a RAW convertor. Capture One is the next best thing if you're wondering I prefer features in other RAW converters, but I still come back to the IQ every time. I have also tried Bibble and others to test whether my decision is still the right one (you can test it yourself, or take it or leave it). I have used, and own, the following RAW tools: Adobe Camera RAW (in CS2), Pixmantec Premium, Adobe Lightroom, Capture One, and Silkypix. (I'm paid nothing, zippo, nada, for this - so there )Īctually, it's all down to the image quality.

Some of the cynics will say that I just promote whatever the flavour of the month happens to be, or what I'm paid to promote If you have questions, please start a new thread so we can keep things nicely organised I'd like to try and keep it as a fairly clean guide to Silkypix.

PLEASE don't go off thread on this topic. It'll have to be in installments because there's just so much of it, and I don't have a great deal of spare time right now due to popular demand here comes my 'rough guide' to Silkypix Developer Studio.
