This is a fabulous software that suffers from poor
marketing. This program is a very capable RAW
converter that can do all necessary image
corrections, and includes an EXCELLENT noise
reduction filter, equal to commercial software
like NeatImage or Noise Ninja.
It is NOT a Photoshop clone, and doesn't need to
be. It's far more similar to Lightroom or Bibble,
in that it opens multiple RAW formats (I
personally own Sony and Pentax DSLRs, and it opens
them both just fine). The image processing is
lossless, and you retain the original RAW file
untouched. It can both use 8bf filters, and itself
be used as a Photoshop filter for noise reduction.
Great for anyone who shoots RAW format, especially
if you own more than 1 brand of camera. For free,
it's a no-brainer!
