Features of SILKYPIX Developer Studio Pro9 for FUJIFILM

Dehaze function

Adjusting the hazy image with the “Dehaze” slider removes cloud-like distortions in your image caused by water vapor in the air and leaves the image with just as much clarity as if it were taken on a bright sunny day.

Individual adjustment of brightness of highlight/shadow area of photograph

The Highlight/Shadow sliders in the exposure adjustments allows you to manually adjust the brightness of the bright (highlight) and intensity of dark (shadow) portions of the image. Even when shooting subjects with intense contrast while using exposure compensation, it is sometimes still difficult to control the exposure. Here, simply adjust the “highlight/shadow” individually during RAW development to achieve a result suitable for the image of the Photographer.

Partial correction tool

Partial tone correction can be applied to specified area of the image. For example, brightness and White balance can be partially adjusted. The selection methods of the correction area include “circular correction filter”, “gradual correction filter”, “brush”, etc., and can be corrected by carefully specifying the area.

Blurred / Sharp periphery functions

You can blur or sharpen the periphery of the specified range. Blurred periphery produces a close-up effect by blurring the periphery of your subject. In addition, if the image is shot with the aperture opening value of the lens and the resolution of the peripheral area drops, the “Sharp periphery” can be used to make a good correction.

Auto adjustment button

The Auto adjustment buttons for Auto exposure bias, Auto White Balance Setting, and Automatic Level Correction, which are suitable for the respective images, have been recently added. The Auto adjustment button is recommended for those who are “having a first try at RAW Development” or say “RAW Development has so many adjustment options and don’t know what to do.” In addition, when making adjustments to a large number of images at a time, you can improve the efficiency of editing workflow by using the Auto adjustment button.

Search in thumbnails

Search in thumbnails is a function for searching and displaying images by specifying a condition such as “shooting info” such as File name or Date, comments, or ratings from specified folders. You can also specify multiple folders at the same time, which is a very useful feature for locating the desired image within a larger collection.

Other

These include the independent placement of initialization buttons for instantaneously returning images to their pre-adjusted states, the addition of user-mark colors for image selection, and the easy transfer of images from the SILKYPIX to retouching software.
