This will bring back highlights in a sky shot, for example, so reveal more blue where it might have been white. Increase chroma/decrease luminance and up the dynamic range, again to taste. After that, pop up the highlight controller tool. or perhaps Adobe are simply to lazy to work on it or are soon going to force everyone into the cloud.Ĭlick to expand.Hi, with SP7 you don't have the partial correction tool, right? (SP 7 Pro does - I have that.) Without using that, I first use the general-purpose sliders for white balance, contrast, film simulation (I tend to leave sharpness and noise till later, unless there are real issues there - but I also play with the demosaicing control to change sharpness on faces or in principle detail areas, too)), I then go into the Tone area (within contrast top level slider area) and up the gamma, which compresses bright areas and brightens dark areas- so changes the ratio. When you buy LR now, you are effectively buying PS as well so I see no reason why LR should continue to be intentionally crippled.

Slight bugs and untidiness are still there and the odd missing feature (for instance no full screen preview and only basic printing) but it seems stable and has a superb combination of good natural rendering quality with outstanding yet simple to use non-destructive layers as well as a 'real' layer option for collages etc which saves in PS format while LR makes do with their annoying pins system.

All packages have strengths and weaknesses but I'm increasingly finding that ON1 2018 might be the best bet overall and I'm curious if you could be more specific on the 'turning images black' comment as I don't think I've seen anything like that. The weakness in highlight recovery plus a tendency to desaturate shadows make it hard to recommend perhaps as a first choice these days at the moderately high price but I do share much of your enthusiasm.Īfter the announcement of LR going subscription only, like many I'm now considering my options. I agree that the results are generally pleasantly smooth-looking yet detailed and certain images are given a very distinctive tonal palette when using the Fuji film simulations hard to replicate elsewhere.

it's important to distinguish between the full package and the free bundled software which is based on the ancient version 4 and is missing critical features such as the HDR slider. I always encourage people who are not entirely happy with their current software to give SP pro a bash. Do you have a specific camera which is not supported by v7? Otherwise, I'm not sure there's much in the way of new features when I last looked.

Personally, I didn't find any reason to upgrade to 8.

I suggest you contact them on, as they have been responsive in the past, to see what's up. I went through the upgrade procedure and confirm that Avangate will not add the product to the basket.
