Does anyone here use this Raw Processor and what do you think of it? Limitations? I was thinking it would compliment my Corel Paintshop Pro.

Don - I've been interested in trying the Corel products, but to my great disappointment they are not available for the Apple platform, just for PCs. Reviews seem to be strongly positive.

The new Aftershot Pro 2 is also in a Mac version now

Don, I just bought this with the PSP X7 Ultimate package, so far I really like how it works and the format.

Thanks, Rick. I'm still on the fence. How would you compare it to Nikon's View NX2?

I never tried NX2, but was just playing with the Aftershot pro 2 and it is awesome! Does the NX2 have a free trial download?

Corel Aftershot Pro 2 is Corel's competition for Lightroom.

I use X7, I found that you can do a quick cheat using the adjust tab, not the edit, open the RAW file, do the adjust you like and save as a JPG, you still have your RAW file and a adjusted JPG, sometimes it does pay to go back to DPP and do the whole job but it's worth the shot in my book, Bob.
BTW never found any reason to buy Aftershot, Bob.

The only feature that I like is its noise reduction. It's somewhat slow and has poor organization capabilities. I defer to Lightroom works better overall in my workflow.
