Features

• Designed for Pros
  Whether you’re working with hundreds of images or just a small group, the program’s speed and professional workflow design makes for fast and efficient image processing. You can preview, compare, enhance and export a full collection of photos with complete ease.
• RAW Image Support
  The program fully supports RAW files by Canon, Nikon, Panasonic and Adobe (DNG). Support for additional RAW formats will soon follow. These include: Sony, Kodak, Olympus, Epson, and more.
• Non-destructive Image Editing
  All image adjustments are saved as a set of associated enhancement parameters (exposure, crop, white balance, color space, curves, levels, etc.), and never actually applied to the original image itself. This way, you can restore photos to their original ‘as shot’ state at any time and export multiple versions of one photo using a variety of settings.
• Exposure Adjustment
  The Exposure panel provides a variety of options for finding the correct image exposure value including an auto-exposure button, a manual-adjust slider with a range of -4.00 to +4.00 and an exposure-select tool. Brightness & Contrast and Hue & Saturation sliders are provided as well.
• White Balance
  The White Balance tool gives you a complete set of pre-defined options (daylight, tungsten, fluorescent, shade, etc.) and a custom tool that enables you to set the white balance yourself by defining ‘white’ within the photo with a single click. Temperature and Tint sliders enable you to refine your color adjustments even further.
• De-noise and Sharpen
  User-friendly slider controls remove chromatic and luminance noise and enable you to raise the level of sharpness.
• Curves and Levels
  The Curves and Levels feature provides manual adjustment controls and pre-defined options (linear, medium contrast, strong contrast). Adjustments can be applied to the full image or the individual R, G, B channels.
• Crop and Straighten
  Both of these controls offer real-time previews for the effect. You can crop an image to one of many pre-defined aspect ratios or use a custom shape. Using the Straighten slider instantly activates a grid overlay that helps you determine the best rotation setting for the image.
• Color Adjustments
  This set of adjustment options include CMY, RGB and luminance controls for precisely enhancing color tone. The same split toning and luminance controls remain available in both Sepia and Black & White mode.
• Lens Corrections
  To compensate for common hardware limitations, the lens correction tools fix issues such as purple fringe, vignetting, barrel distortion, pincushion distortion and perspective distortion.
• High-Quality Image Output
  Export processed RAW files as high-quality JPEG, or TIFF (24 or 48-bit).
• Recipes
  Once you’ve made modifications to a photo, you can save the parameters as a “recipe” and apply it to any other photo with a single click. You can also apply a recipe to an entire group of photos using the Batch Export feature.
• Time-saving Batch Export
  Instead of having to export each processed image one-at-a-time, you can export them all in a single step. Renaming and reformatting the files to TIFF or JPEG is automated. You can even apply a recipe to each image during export – an easy way to enhance hundreds of photos in an instant.
• Before and After View Mode
  To see how much your original image is being changed, the Before-After view mode shows the original version of the active image right next to the version you’re currently working on.
• Side-by-Side View Mode
  The Side-by-Side view mode displays two files on the screen at once – allowing you to carefully analyze each shot and find the best in the group.
• Support for 6 color spaces
  Work in (and convert to): sRGB IEC61966-1, Adobe RGB (1998), Apple RGB, ColorMatch RGB, ProPhoto RGB and WideGamut RGB.
• Multiple Image Processing
  A Photo Bin below the main workspace gives you quick access to all your image files – allowing you to quickly move from file to file. All modifications made to your photos are reflected in real time on the thumbnails as you work but not saved until you choose to export.
• JPEG & TIFF Image Support
  The non-destructive RAW processing controls work for JPEG and TIFF images too – the original image files are not touched.
