I am pretty much a total newbie as far as how much a program like this can really do. Let me start by saying that the only post processing software that I have ever used is the PDCU software that came with my Pentax digital cameras. SILKYPIX Developer Studio 10.1.14.I just purchased SILKYPIX Developer Studio Pro 8 a few days ago.
With “SILKYPIX RAW Bridge” available only on SILKYPIX Pro8, JPEGs and TIFFs are expanded to 16 bits, so even JPEG and TIFF images can be adjusted to a high degree of image quality with less image degradation. Parameters are very useful functions, and you can easily create pictures from the same image by applying them to other photographs. In addition, you can save your adjusted parameters as a taste. Just by choosing a taste such as “Landscape” or “Portrait,” you can make a finished photograph easily that fits your image. SILKYPIX Pro8 has 10 types of maker tastes installed which can take on various shooting scenes in advance. What is more, a variety of fine adjustment functions such as Fine color controller which can be used to adjust each specific color and Highlight controller which restores colors in highlighted parts as well as recover gradation are available. In addition, the newly adopted Brush in SILKYPIX Pro8 can be used to designate areas for partial correction more freely than ever. The Partial correction function is included to adjust saturation and brightness of specified areas. Insofar as the support for graphic image types is concerned, SILKYPIX Developer Studio Pro is only able to manage JPEG, TIFF and RAW photos, so you will have to convert other types of pictures to one of those formats if you want to get them inside this program.Ī Variety of Functions to Recreate the Photographer’s Images
The functions are available from dedicated menus, but getting to know where each command is may take a while and shortcut keys are provided to only a select few.
Through a friendly interface, this software solution provides a lot of tools and adjustments that are available equally easily for beginners and experienced users alike.
