Hi all
so I gave a long try to LR (on G5 Mac) processing quite a lot of Hi res pics.
This thing is quite powerfull, here are my 1st comment:
UI
- I would like to be able to have all the tool tabs separated on my secondary screen and the main image on the main screen, that would much more handy…
- The USM is not bad but why not implement the PSCS2 "optimized USM" which is quite better…
- When the thumbnails are below the main window, it would be nice to have there name too, so to be able to select the right next one to work on…
- Finally the speed is not that bad…
- most of controls are usefull and much more powerfull than C1 or ACR…
- In the export panel, the size of export should be expressed in percentage or, if in dimensions there should be possible to choose if in pixels, inches or centimeters
- need a real cropping tool
- need a real lense correction tool, as powerfull as the one from DxO
ISSUES
- some of the purple fringing (when it's red, not purple) is not cleaned as well as in C1, this fringing appear on high contrasted area like a polished stainless-steel pipe in the sun, or on the sea when facing sun.
- some edges are quite tough, if asked I'll post some example, but I'm out of the office until next week (having good time with Asher in LA)
But for a beta, it is worth the try! impressive, really…
Hope this helps and that some Adobe people are around to read this…
