Probably because you have a license for FP v3 and DxO v8.2 comes with a *trial* version of FP v4. If they overwrote your FP v3 installation you'd end up losing your legally owned software, having...

Reilly, DxO is ahead of LR in many areas, it absolutely obliterates it in noise reduction. Have you actually tried the DxO or read any of the reviews?

I'm still using the GX200 when size is more important than quality. As for the suggested camera, I would personally much prefer the GX300 to have an APS-C sensor and a slow and compact lens....

Why would one buy CorelDraw + PSP? The former already has PhotoPaint which is an advanced raster editor.

You've had bad experience with Minolta/Sony, Pentax and Nikon. Going mirrorless is not an option you'd consider (if I recall), so what is next in line for you? Switch to Canon? Prog.

Corel PSP X5 and GIMP are the closest competition to Photoshop. CorelDRAW is the closest competition to the CC Suite.

Also worth mentioning - Aperture is Mac-only, PSP is Windows-only...

Corel PaintShop Pro X5 also supports most Photoshop plug-ins, and unlike Aperture is a closer alternative to Photoshop. Aperture is more of a Lightroom alternative.

Don't PSP X5 and GIMP offer most of these options?

DPR: What's the point of having two separate comment threads for this story (one here, the other in the review page)? This is the same story and the comments should be in one place.

Couple DxO Optics Pro 8 with Corel Paint Shop Pro X5 and you get better image quality than Adobe can offer and 90% of the functionality that anyone actually cares about.

Don't use download.com if you want the original installers without the download.com questionableware installer. This is some kind of wrapper hiding who knows what, and there's just no reason to...

Marshal, I own both PSP X5 and AfterShot Pro, and would highly recommend the former. However, for RAW files you would get better results with the free RawTherapee. AfterShot Pro is good in other...

Unlike all other applications here, CS6 has no future. You won't get CS6.1 with new features, and support for RAW files of new cameras will not be added past the unspecified grace period we're in...

RawTherapee is a fantastic application and the one I used most before switching to DxO 8. The man issue with it though is duplication of tools. There are just too many tools that compete for the...

AfterShip Pro has a lot going for it - intuitive user interface, best performance bar none, low price, camera and lens correction database and more. It only has one drawback, and it's a significant...

Corel's response:

"For the foreseeable future, we will continue to sell the box version"

Corel knows about this change:

Just use RAW. I converted the DNG from imaging-resource.com using RawTherapee 4 and the default settings and received this result. And this is before they made any optimization for the output of...

Thanks Dennis. This was indeed the solution. I bought a new card and now performance is significantly improved. Here are the updated figures Old card on the left, new one on the right. The only...
