More on SilkyPix…
After going through a few hours trying out the software, I am almost certain now on buying the full version. While a few users in this forum complain about the lack of shadow detail, I–on the other hand–complain about difficulty in highlight detail recovery without resorting to “low contrast” in the contrast setting. Granted that I am only working on the “free” version, this complaint that I have is probably not even valid.
Most of the raw images that I have converted to 16-bit TIFF through SilkyPix requires minimal or no post-processing at all. And, like I have said before, its user interface is quicker and far more responsive than the OEM raw converter, albeit a little confusing. Overall speed coversion is faster, too. If I purchase the OEM raw converter, I am sure I will be purchasing computer memory upgrades along with it; with SilkyPix, I may not have to do that.
For now, I will be trying the software in its “trial” mode for 2 weeks just to make sure…
A sample utilizing SilkyPix basic conversion: +2/3 exposure correction, average contrast, sharpening, and color.
