![]() However, time spent with SilkyPix allows you to adapt to the UI and this becomes less and less of an issue. SilkyPix is often criticized for it's ungainly UI - fair criticism and no question LR is superior. If you're doing light work and don't mind taking a raw conversion from SilkyPix into Photoshop or some similar app for further editing that difference becomes less important. This for me is the tip-the-scale difference. SilkyPix Developer Studio lacks local adjustment ability and the Pro version adds limited ability that does not rival LR. That capability is a huge time saver and is the primary reason that LR can often be relied upon to get the job done without recourse to another app - big advantage. LR's capability to accomplish local adjustments (gradient tool, adjustment brush) is only matched (and exceeded) by Capture One. ![]() LR has a more polished and easier to use UI making the job go more quickly. ![]() Lr has the feature set most commonly needed to complete an edit without resorting to other software. I would then curse daily as I used LR lamenting that it couldn't give me as good a raw conversion as SilkyPix. If I were forced to chose only one of the two I'd chose LR. All that I have to say further assumes this and so applies only to the raw conversion capabilities of the two programs. If you need LR's database management features then SilkyPix is off the table. SilkyPix has only a rudimentary file manager and simply can not be compared at all with LR in this regard. For example, the videos linked from this page are all about Lightroom 5, but most of that applies to Lightroom 6 as well.Īs gardenersassistant said, that's a complicated question.īefore going any further: LR is both a raw converter and DAM database software. I have found the Adobe TV Channel very useful in getting to know about the Adobe products. There are lots of other and probably rather better videos around, especially about the various Adobe products. You can find them here if you are interested. Linked to those threads I have made several videos which touch on various aspects of Lightroom and Silkypix. Part 5 is at and Part 6 is at When you have read some of this stuff you might want to ask some questions in that thread and/or in this forum, which may be more appropriate. It all started as "raw or JPEG?" but it's gone on to "what software is best for me?" with lots of contributions from people using different software. As well as looking at the other posts in that thread, that post has links taking you back to earlier threads. This includes a lot of discussion about Silkypix. There is a lot of very civilised discussion going on about this in the Panasonic Compact Camera forum at the moment (the people involved don't just use Panasonic cameras, so don't be concerned about what camera you use). It's a complicated question as to what would be the best software for you to use. I am a complete beginner in digital editing. Feature-wise is SILKYPIX Developer Studio more on it's level? I also heard about Adobe Premiere Elements, which is a younger brother of Adobe Lightroom. P.S. I am a complete beginner in digital editing. ![]() Feature-wise is SILKYPIX Developer Studio more on it's level? My question is which of the versions compared there is on par with Adobe Lightroom feature-wise and that can let me accomplish what I can acomplish in Adobe Lightroom? From oldest to newest version which one is the first that can offer what can be accomplished in Adobe Lightroom? The point is, if it's SE version 7 then I wouldn't need to spend more to gain what I can from SE version 7. SILKYPIX Developer also comes in Pro Edition and it looks like SE that I have is actually Standard Edition but it's not latest according to this comparison sheet: I am wondering how good this software is for digital editing because today Adobe Lightroom is widely used for this purpose. I have SILKYPIX Developer Studio SE v.4.4.3.3 that I can download for free because I am the owner of Panasonic DMC-G5 camera.
