![]() I don't know how difficult it would be to enhance ASP to be able to read other peoples profiles (RawTherapee in its latest version can read. One issue the image was taken under protest, she was in a hurry to get to an install and was angry at me.Dcp from ACR).ĪSP also desperately needs a better noise handling (at least for my Sony and Minolta files). I'm happy with the result obtained with AfterShot Pro 3. I waited to find an opportunity to grab a capture with my old Nikon D50 of a piece of clothing with a texture and I processed it in both CO 9 and AS 3, I made no effort to exactly match color just a look at clarity and sharpness. Clarity and fill light issues I believe were also due to a unfamiliarity with the AS 3 interface. The article showed the sweater on a model as sharp in CO 9 and muddy in AS 3 and I believe this is the reason. While the sharpening controls in CO are more sophisticated than in ASP 3 as one should expect due to cost, the setting when activated and set to the same numerical value as CO 9 produce very similar if not identical results. ![]() Well the issue I found was that Capture One Pro 9 used a default sharpening setting and AfterShot Pro 3 has a defult sharpening turned off. Now to my real question, were the algorithms in AfterShot Pro 3 faulty? Was Aftershot Pro 3 incapable of producing as clear or as sharp an image as Capture One Pro 9. One would expect these difference from two different software packages, one costing more then 300% of the others price. Also some of the features in Capture One Pro 9 such as sharpening and blurring are found in multiple areas of the interface under different names but applying the same type of effect so this is complicated software for sure, so beware.ĪfterShot Pro 3 while having some controls that are less sophisticated then Capture One, for example sharpening, AfterShot Pro 3 also has a significant amount of redundancy in editing features with it's two Corel counterparts, PaintShop Pro X8 and Photo-PAINT X8. With that said all images would be edited in the secondary image editor and that function could be applied at a different stage of the process. ![]() Many of these tools duplicate tools found in the secondary image editor, like Corel Photo-PAINT X8 or Adobe Photoshop CC 2015. Is something better because it's really better or just because I know the software? Then again just what is the definition of better? So I avoid words like better.įirst let me say this Capture One Pro 9 is a cool software, it's professional level and the tools it has are in general expanded versions of tools in other RAW editors including AfterShot Pro 3. I've been BETA testing and operating a multitude of applications since 1985 so rest assured I understand the mistakes common with reviewing a software. for $270 AfterShot Pro 3 is $80 neither product is expensive but what did I get for my bucks? I paid less for ASP 3 as an upgrade but I still needed to verify the remarks about AfterShot Pro having poor algorithms resulting in a much less clear and less sharp image and muddy fill light. The graphics industry established many years ago the need for neutral grey working environment and these dark work spaces negatively affect the ability to see color.Ĭapture Pro 9 can be bought in the U.S. AfterShot Pro 3 and Capture One Pro 9 all suffer from the modern (I need a dark work Space syndrome). So I downloaded Capture One Pro 9 and I am still evaluating it. The concept that the algorithms in one program or another are less or more capable unfortunately can in this modern technological environment be subject to the familiarity of an applications interface and the default settings. The author Jaron Schneider, who is in my opinion a real professional had Pratik Naik look at AfterShot Pro 3 and compare it to Adobe Camera RAW and Capture One, a link to Pratiks web site is here, Īfter visiting the young mans web site I was concerned about some of his comments he made because his work is technically excellent, I don't ever attempt to judge artistic content but one cannot argue technology, however one does have to examine the methods and therefore the conclusions. I was online researching how AfterShot Pro 3 had been received and came across this article at, I post this link to that article here for your reference, please read for yourself.
