Hi, care to review Silkypix Developer Studio Pro? Recommended bij Panasonic and Fujifilm.
I use it and I am pretty happy with the results.
Thank you

PhotoLab 4 has become a slug.
A laptop that performed modestly with 3 is now unusable – 6.5 minutes to export to JPEG a 42 mp file, and each full review after a local adjustment change is about time enough to make a cup of tea.

A library that you can’t move files in. Unfixed bugs. You still can’t choose the name of an export file or export to a given size. Windows that don’t follow Windows conventions.

It’s not a mature product.

I’ve used DxO for some time and it works nicely for me. I use Nikon gear. One thing to note is DxO does not have camera/lens modules for Fuji x-trans cameras.

I also use Luminar for times I want to do something more than DxO. I like both programs quite a lot.

How about Gimp or Photo Viewer Pro?

Everyone is going to have “opinions” on this one. And as always, “each to their own”.
But there’s an elephant in the room. Adobe’s range is aging, newcomers are circling, and there’s actually NOTHING out there that does it “all”, for us.
I recently had a job to do, and tried Photoshop’s (clumsy) panorama function. It failed. So I tried Lightroom’s – exactly the same, and just as clumsy BTW.
Tried a newbie – Affinity’s – didn’t even have to pay, it was available as a free trial for 30 days. It did such a good job, so quickly, and without ANY of the issues ini Adobe’s, that I bought it on the spot.
And frankly, for the past couple of years, I don’t think I’ve been able to complete post processing in Photoshop and/or Lightroom on a single photo. I’ve ALWAYS had to use several different programs, to make it to the finishing line with something worth printing.
BTW – you never mentioned Mirage Print – after trying it for 6 months, I hardly ever use “print” in Photoshop any more.

I love Lightroom but I think you should add the information that if for some reason your Windows computer (like mine) can’t update past 1607 that means either paying $120 a year for a program that will be forever stuck on version 7.5 or buying a new computer.
