The results are excellent - better than I can do with ACR by quite a bit, with NR/sharpness especially. Me too! It's a little gem and seems to run much faster than previous versions of Silkypix that I've used. suffice to say its an acquired taste - but once learnt it all works remarkably well. At least on high iso's.Īfter a long session and copious studying of the manual to get to grips with their terminology I agree its a keeper on the NR and SH functionality alone! The 1 image HDR & Dodger tools are good and the absolute WB is very effective - but the terminology and manual well. Well it looked so good with my FZ200 ISO 800 images I bought it!
