It seemed quite capable of handling cases of serious underexposure, blown-out skies and details, high-ISO noise. In an attempt to speed up my workflow, I tested DXO Optics 8 and found that its automatic adjustments were, in most cases, quite satisfactory. I was never able to find any way to make the process faster (occasionally I was able to copy and paste edits to photos shot under similar lighting conditions) Perhaps there is no other real solution other than to edit one by one.

I have been doing manual correction of photos in AfterShot Pro, and am quite pleased with its results and UI, but have found it painfully slow to correct each photo one by one. The catalogue feature in ASP was also not useful to me- it corrupted many times, and everything I added to it was lost. Additionally, ASP does not seem very adept at allowing the user to create detailed, nested keywords and apply them easily. I was using the keyword manager to create keyword tree-lists, but every time I re-organized the keyword trees, the assigned keywords were messed up. I have about 50,000 photos, most of which are directly related to my phd research on the revival of folk customs and martial arts societies in rural China. Like many other ASP fans, I fear that the program will be abandoned by Corel and am seeking out an alternative.

Hi Chris, I'm using ASP now but also finding that it simply is not capable of properly cataloguing nor does it have a good method for adding nested keywords. What a pity! I really love the speed and workflow flexibility of ASP. Now I am also waiting for iMatch 5 to arrive because using ASP for cataloging my images doesn't make sense.
#Photoninja video license#
I ended up buying a PhotoNinja license because of the superior results I got (finally I switched to shoot solely RAW).

I tried LR, DxO and CaptureOne - the results have not convinced me and the workflow/user interface experience was underwhelming compared to Aftershot. Maybe I haven't invested enough time or the different camera profiles do make a difference!?Īnyway - as Aftershot is not supporting my camera model I had to look for a different raw converter. Interesting because my experience was the other way around. I keep checking the forums here hoping Corel will do something with ASP as I loved some of the plugins but my IQ is far better with DxO. It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles but for my needs it's great. I do a lot of 6-700 image folders (sports) and selecting and processing flies. IQ is fantastic and batch processing is the easiest I've found yet. However I found out I can reference my files from my database and don't have to import anything. I had put off trying it because all the reviews I read said you have to, essentially, import into "projects" which I didn't want to do.

I tried out a bunch of editors and ended up trying DxO's Optic Pro 8 and was wowed by what it did with my D800 files. Hi andrewh, I tried all kinds of settings with PN and while it gave pretty good results for most situations it wasn't stellar. When I asked about manipulating curves, they came back with some simple suggestions that mimic the results really well. If you are having problems, just drop an email to support and they will come back with suggested workflows to reduce your problem. So much less work and so much better support than ASP. Have you used the Portrait preset in Photo Ninja and been cautious with the detail slider? I started with some problems but am now very happy with PN - indeed I bought a licence yesterday.

Does it work ok on jpegs and do you lose much resolution? Does the batch processing give good results on similar images or do you have to use it only on almost identical images? Thanks, Pete. I looked at the web site for Neat Image but don't recall if it supported tiffs. The other editor that seemed promising but over time I haven't much cared for what happens to the flesh tones upon sharpening is Photo Ninja. Capture NX2 gives good results but they haven't done anything with it in ages and the UI is awful. if I want to print larger than 11x14 the noise will show up.
#Photoninja video iso#
I shoot lots of small gym/poor lighting sports and while ISO 4000 with the D800 is not bad at all. I have been using Nikon's VNx2 with good results for just simple processing, especially color rendition, but it doesn't contain noise reduction. i might revert back to the last version at some point to see if it will work. Ianr, how do you like Neat image? I have had to give up (temporarily I hope) on ASP, it just can't process my D800 files without getting slower and slower and finally stopping. I own both noise reduction systems and prefer Neat Image far more than Noise Ninja. Ianr wrote:Well if neat Image noise reduction could be added.
