It’s not like it’s just a different interface tab either, it takes a couple of seconds to switch from one mode to the other. For example the old sharpening methods are now in effects. With this release they seem to have moved some things from develop to effects. the fact that some adjustments are in one module and some are in another is a really odd interface and it makes you need to make a quite regimented choice when processing images. I get what they’re trying to do here, but it just makes it very clunky. The other thing that I don’t like is the way the interface is split into Develop an Effects. ![]() So, that’s a step in the right direction. It was crashing every 3-4 minutes when I sued it, and I was working with it this morning for a good half an hour without a crash. On the plus side, the reliability seems to have improved significantly in the latest version. It’s not a huge deal, but it’s really bad interface design, and having worked as a designer for many years, things like this bug me. Why they couldn’t have this interface element in the background is beyond me, but instead it takes you out of the application with a pop up window to tell you the file is loading. Secondly, the modal “Loading” dialog window is just stupid. It is fast making adjustments though, so there’s that. For an application that was previously marketing itself on speed, its a bit of a let down. Sometimes they will load quicker, and sometimes much sower. What do I mean by this? Well, loading files can sometimes take ages. It’s the fact that it’s painfully slow and buggy, still, and the interface is too segmented. It’s probably fine for most people, so maybe I am being too critical.Įven though I have concerns about the quality, those concerns aren’t my biggest issue with the software. Again though, it’s a matter of choice, and some people seem quite keen on it, and have been quite vocal, so I’m sure I’m just being overly picky (or that’s what the inevitable hate mail will tell me!). It’s a matter of taste I suppose, and I guess a lot of people won’t have an issue with it, but for me, I would consider it more towards the bottom of the pile, quality wise, compared to the other converters out there. It still suffers from occasional edge artifacts, and it still has a muddy quality, that, while not as bad as Lightroom, is not particularly great either. The noise reduction seems very aggressive too, although I have’t played with it enough.įor X-Trans users, the decoding is ok, but still has issues. There is no radius control and the masking slider seems weirdly skewed, so that a value of 1 will mask quite a bit, yet the slider goes up much higher. There’s sharpening slider and a masking slider and that’s it. Now, to what I don’t like: First of all, the new sharpening controls are a bit of a blunt instrument. This makes more sense and makes navigating the interface a bit easier. They have also changed the sharpening and combined them together into a new detail panel, which also contains noise reductio options. They’re pretty much the same as they are in Lightroom. Firstly, the good: The new lens correction options are greater and appear to work well. In a nutshell, it’s better, but I still don’t like it. It is a fairly major update, and I did a little testing after it was announced. The new release adds some much needed features, and changes a few things in the software. Yesterday, On1 released a major update to their On1 Raw software, that they are marketing as a Lightroom alternative.
