After Shot Pro 2 is pretty cool.

This is the RAW processor that came bundled with the PaintShop ProX 8 Ultimate.

Before - terribly blown out in the early morning haze


After, straightened up, and, oh, look, there are mountains. This is awesome.



You were right, CC. I should have been doing this all along.

1. I have to agree, my dear Blue...it looks good. But........

I'm not as tech-savvy as you are.

Could I use it without too much of a learning curve?

Is it terribly complex?

How good are the instructions?

Thanks!

2. I'm not very tech savvy either

but the basics aren't too hard. Of course, it has lots of moving parts that I'm going to have to watch lots of tutorials on, but I got some pretty good results without too much trouble. There are a lot of file management tools that will take some study.

3. Thanks! Maybe someday I'll buy it. n/t

4. Adobe Lightroom is good for this too.

I use that on my RAW files and the results are so much better than taking JPGs straight from the camera.

5. I think this is very similar to Lightroom.

We went over the Lightroom workflow during the Aurora workshop I attended in August, and it was very much like this. There's a lot I need to learn about the organizational capabilities.
