Compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7.
This is the last release of the 4.x version and we made it completely FREE!
Features: (too many, to list them here).
Trying out since yesterday, I like the retouching capabilities, and most important it can handle all RAW-formats. Have a loook on features>

Retouching:
- 'Delete scratches' brush to remove scratches, wires, pimples on the face,
etc.

- 'Change brightness' brush to make some areas darker or brighter
- 'Change color' brush to paint with color or to change the hue keeping the brightness the same
- 'Change saturation' brush

- 'Fix red eye' brush
- 'Distort' brush to fix protruding ears and similar problems

I think it is just the older versions that are free.. but it might turn out to be an excellent way to get people to try their software, which could very well lead to more sales of the current version.

I use it mainly for retouching the scratches/dust on the scans and for reducing the grain . It works wery well . It supports the BMP files , if that is important for somebody .

Interesting ....
Looks like it uses a modified version of DCRAW for raw processing?
So it has support for Sigma X3F....
Unfortunately I can't get it run under WINE in linux... anyone else given this a go?
What it's RAW processing like?
I know Sigma Photo Pro probably still produces the best results, but I'm seriously getting sick of it's slowness. Even on a Dual processor, core 2 duo workstation it gets annoying.
Would be nice to have something for quick processing that doesn't need to be the best quality (family snaps etc)... |

+1 !!!
What you need is a very fast harddisk. This accelerates things a little.
But still, it's sloooooow compared to other software.

I already have a couple of 15K scsi disks.... I have been seriously considering going for a small Solid State Drive now that they've come down in price a little and are a little more reliable and better at random IOPS.
I mean it produces great results, but SPP is painfully slow and some feature implementations are so damn annoying like "colour adjustment" ie white balance.
Anyway bit off topic.. I'm only running ubuntu so wine package is likely a little older.. might have to roll up my sleeves and try compiling a more recent version to give helicon a go. Or XP Virtual box or something ...
The next developer to come up with a decent X3F RAW converter will honestly be my hero  |
