Review by Paul M. Provencher

This photo-editing software is very comprehensive. It comes with a book that explains each feature. This is a great tool to add for a number of reasons listed below. It really goes beyond PhotoShop Elements! Great stuff:nnAftershot Pro features a number of great capabilities. Here are just a few of the features I have observed:nnRatings (stars), colored labels,nnbatch outputs (16-bit TIFF, 8-bit TIFF,Download, Gallery, JPEG Full Size, JPEG Proof)nnFile system (shows directory view)nnLibrary (Aftershot Pro Catalog 2012)nnMetadata BrowsernnSoft ascending/descendingnnShow filter toolnnLayer ManagernnSlideshownnStandard TabnnHistogramnnWhite Balance - allows you to cool or warm the white balancennStraighten - helps to straighten or angle the imagennFill Light - provides fill light in shadowsnnBlacks - Deepens blacksnnContrast - increases or decreases contrastnnSaturation - reduces or increases colornnVibrance - intensifies color without affect skin tonesnnHue - changes colors in scene, interesting way to modify colorsnnSharpening - soften or sharpen imagennNoise Ninja - removes noisennAll the above controls return to neutral with a double clicknnColor TabnnColor Correction (Hue, Saturation, Luminance, Range)nnColor Balance (Cyan/Red, Magenta/Green, Yellow/Blue, Saturation, Vibrance, Hue)nnWhite Balance (temp, Tint)nnColor Management (ICC Profiled, None-Linear, Custome input profile)nnTone TabnnExposure (Autolevel, Blacks, Exposure, Highlights)nnMonochromaticnnFill Light, Fill Range, ContrastnnDetail TabnnSharpening (Amount, Sensitivity)nnRaw Noise (Raw Impulse Noise Removal, Raw Noise, Threshold)nnNoise Ninja Standard (Enable Noise Ninja, Strength, Smooth)nnNoise Ninja Registered (Enable, Coarse Noise, Auto Profile, Turbo Mode, Auto Profile, Luma, Chroma, USM, Profile, Strength, Contrast, Smooth)nnLens Correction (Enable Correction, Resize Image, Database Tab, Manual Tab, features recognition for my camera and a large sampling of lenses, recognized focal length, Chromatic Aberration Correction R/C, B/Y, Enable Vignette Correction strength, radius, Mirror and invert)nnMetadata TabnMetadata (date, model, width, height, ISO, Shutter Speed, Aperture, Focal Length, Exposure Bias, Exposure Mode, Metering Mode, Light Source, GPS Latitude, GPS Longitude, Keywords, Keyword Sets)nnPlugin TabnnBlack and White Plugin (enable Black and White, Luminance, variety of color channels, First Spot Color, Second Spot Color, Hue, Fuzziness)nnVigne (enable vignetting, preview, reset, strength, preserve colors, size, transition, falloff [exponential, linear, Sigmoid], Ratio, Shape [Round, Square, Rhombus, Linear], Center X, Center Y, Adjust to Crop, Vignette Color, Desaturation)
