Short: very interesting and useful software for anyone who shoots anything more than "i was here" photos.
I am not a "pro" phottographer, but I have DSLR (Olympus E500) and sometimes take "a kind of professional" shots - in RAW format, using exposure bracketing, etc. So I tried this program as it offers something new to image processing.
I used demo version. As far as I understand, it works absolutely like the full version, just places a watermark in the images.
The most interesting thing which I met in no other software is "super-resolution". You take several photos and the program makes one image with higher resolution. To be honest, I did not believe that anything can increase the resolution higher than the camera sensor provides... but in my tests the resulting images certainly contained more details.
I also tried the HDR feature, but cannot tell exactly how good or how bad it this program in HDR - as I am not very experienced in this area. I can say only that it matches the images very well, even those taken without a tripod.
I did not try focus stacking, as I do not take macro photos and even do not have a lens that would allows this.
I have not decided yet does this software worth its price for me now, as I am not so keen in photography. But shall I devote to photography, I'd certainly like to use this program.
Wish list:
speed!
batch mode
