I must say Silky Pix does a pretty good job on CA/Purple Fringing compared to others I have tried.

How do we explain the purple fringing it left in the Silkypix corners here, though?

*see below

And regarding Silky's handling of the Fuji S5 Pro's Super Dooper CCD sensor, well...

After all, Silky Pix do "head-up" RAW FILE CONVERTER EX 3.0 powered by SILKYPIX (just not applicable for the S5 Pro) http://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/software/myfinepix_studio/

Thanks, reading that it seems Silkypix reads both the S and R pixels at least. My comment about the video comparison still apply in the sense that it was obviously showing a more modern X-Trans camera in play and as such any benefits might not apply to the older SuperCCD tech.

Good call my friend, and I only learned about all this last night. Even now (in order to grab you these screenies) I was fumbling my way around. The User Interface really is an unintuitive mess. Can't even find the Lens dialog to see if that also has Chromatic Aberration / Defringe tied to it. I am sure it was there earlier?? Haha, anyways, Silky Pix handles CA quite well, even though it seems to take a while to redraw the screen - at first it seems it doesn't work. It does...

Did I mention I hate computers? Well it's scenarios such as these being the reason why!

You even have to draw a box around the CA in the image. It is definitely a quirky application to use. Then again, Hyper Utility with its Register to Converter Tray. And then some. Maybe it's just y'all. Maybe all this is a Fuji thang
