  Q. Silkypix - does anyone know it?
Hugo de Wolf
Asked by Hugo de Wolf    (K=185110) on 3/19/2007 
I've heard some great stories / testimonials about a program called Silkypix - a raw developing tool that is supposed to create some astonishing tones. (http://www.silkypix.com) Does anyone have experience with this program? How does it compare to it's competitors (if they are) PhaseONE, Aperture, Adobe?

Thanks,

Cheers,

Hugo

Hi Hugo, I started using it as mentioned before in another thread. I tested their their free trial download with limited functionality after silkypix got some good comments in a german forum. I was pleased enough to buy it for about 100€ (I would have preferred to keep going with RAW- Shooter but they were not able to deliver a functional version after the take over by the big one).
In short it is a good programme giving you immense control but at the same time it is by far not as easy as RAW shooter. So I am still learning (since I am not using it on a daily basis. A steep learning curve indeed. Two major disadvantages detected so far: No slide show capability built in, so selection of the best picture to work with is a little laborious, actually for a time I used an extra slide show programme for selection in addition (but this is even more laborious)and it is very resource consuming and slow to load the programme and to save (develop) the pictures. In other words, on a normal computer while running it you better close all other applications and 1 gig ram is minimum. But again control of colours and tonality is very good imo.
Regards Jörg
