About SILKYPIX Developer Studio
SILKYPIX Developer Studio is a RAW development program for photographers. Exposure, white balance and tone can be set with a single click. Its noise reduction aims to keep detail and sharpness. Nine composite modes merge several frames for high-gradation or lower-noise results, and two retouch brushes remove unwanted objects.
It supports cameras from many manufacturers and includes 67 presets, called tastes. It is sold as a one-time purchase, and one license can be registered on up to three PCs. A 30-day free trial is available.
