Re: About SPP 6.X and 5.X

I'm using version 6.8 and abandoned the 5.x versions long ago because the processing (to my eyes) is the same but the speed and batch processing make it MUCH faster. Faster than the Sony Imaging software, which I load up every once in a blue moon.

QUESTION Why do y'all prefer the 5.x versions? Does it run better on older systems or on Macs? My laptop when new was a good gaming i7 Windows 10 machine, 3yrs on now it's pretty average, so that's not a big factor.

In any event, the 6.8 that I'm on does something annoying that I havent encountered before: the thumbnails are initially presented normally, but then after a file is developed, its thumbnail's colors go completely wonky. The look is similar to color film where the the colors are reversed....
