Overall solid editor that will satisfy most people’s needs, however it’s not as professional as it’s claimed to be;
1) No 16bit support. Crucial when it comes to clean gradients without/less banding. Also makes for better color rendition.
2) No TIFF export. This would be required with 16bit support. PNG does not support 16bit.
3) No color profile proofing. While color profiles are generally supported, I would not want to look at an AdobeRGB or ProPhoto color profile while editing.
The speed of adjustments is rather quick (at least on JPGs and TIFFs), so I’m not sure how Webkit fits into all this. I have not tried RAW, since that’s something I would do in my RAW editor anyway. But otherwise it is fast, even when throwing a 2GB TIFF file at it.
Another thing I wish it had would be the ability to toggle on/off individual adjustments rather than just all adjustments. In regards to that, the message "Before/After” popping up at the bottom of the screen each time the toggle is pressed is highly distracting. This should be removed, it’s pretty clear what was before and what after.
In summary, great 1.0 release but personally, I will hold off on the paid version until the mentioned shortcomings have been implemented at some point down the road. Keep up the good work!
