Color has Curves Color Correction Color Balance.Standard has the Histogram a Basic Adjustments panel (AutoLevel & Perfectly Clear, White balance, Temp, Straighten, Exposure, Highlights, Fill Light, Blacks, Contrast, Saturation, Vibrance, Hue, Sharpening, Noise Reduction) a Keywords panel and finally Presets.It would be nice if it allowed some drag/drop, but it doesn’t. (To be honest, I only realized there was a pinned option when looking at this, though I did pin the Histogram early on.) You can pin most any of the individual panels, and panels organize themselves in the order you pin them. At the top, you’ll find any panels you pinned.It’s sort of handy to have them tucked away, rather than scrolling as in Lightroom, but the naming is not obviously linked to what’s in the particular panels: The different adjustment panels are listed vertically on the right.Like most Auto things, use at your own risk. Here are a couple of images (from the Unnatural series) with the effects applied. AfterShot includes Athentech’s Perfectly Clear plugin built-in, so it’s a one-click adjustment, with drop down options to add a tint at Min and Max levels.Help articles are clear, easy to find, and concise (or seem to be, if the above is any indication… it took me about 25 seconds to find the answer).It’s probably also easy to make the default whatever you want… and it is. I played around with it some, and it’s easy to deselect the active things, but I couldn’t select anything. One is DefaultRaw, and it contains all of the possible settings. It’s easy to find the default settings: Preferences–>Default Settings contains 3 xmp files. The only default settings applied is something called ‘RAW Noise Smoothing’ at a default of 50.It’s pretty slick and pretty easy to use.If there’s another, clue me into it… I’d like to test it too.Īs a paid application, it’s a bit slicker than the open source applications I’ve looked at so far, more internally consistent, but it uses some of the same tools in the same ways. Price: $79.99 (but it seems to be on sale fairly often: was $69 in April, I think, and is currently $42.99 with WinZip and a slideshow program thrown in free.)Ĭorel’s AfterShot Pro 2-also available in a non-pro version for half price-is the only paid, cross platform (read: Linux-available) photo-editing/darkroom application I know of. The bottom of the screen shows the contents of the project folder you have opened for editing, but this can be shrunk by dragging the divider, or even eliminated entirely if you don’t want it.Program: AfterShot Pro 2 (version 2.2.0.29, 64 bit) Platforms Available Tested: Linux, Mac, Windows Installation: normal download dmg & drag app to Applications folder. ![]() ![]() There’s certainly a lot of flexibility in how you organise the screen, and you can save any arrangement via the Workspaces menu. Palettes can also be dragged away from the left or right of the screen to become floating windows. These palettes contain a range of controls that can be mixed and matched via clicking and dragging from one palette to another, and new controls can be added by clicking the menu icon at the right of the palette. Each palette can be expanded or contracted by double-clicking, although you need to be quick because in our tests often the app interpreted the initial click as a desire to move the palette. The image you’re working on sits in the middle of the window, while to the left and the right are docked palettes offering image tweaking controls. The DxO Optics Pro interface is the fashionable black colour that evidently all image-editing apps must use nowadays. Notably, DxO Optics Pro isn’t just about RAW images, and can handle JPEG too, although this will mean some features aren’t available.
