Thank you for this. I downloaded the program, but am I right in that it does some processing on the RAW files as it imports them so that they're effectively in a mostly "finished" state?
At the moment I'm using SilkyPix for my Lumix photos and NX Studio for my Nikon photos, and then occasionally using RawTherapee and Darktable and also occasionally ART. I then sometimes attempt to use gmic on the finished JPEG or Snapseed on my Android phone for more ambience and sharpness.
I'm finding I'm spending absolutely hours on editing all the photos I take. And they don't even look that great when I finish with them, mainly through my lack of skill. I find the sharpening in silkypix to be very good.
Yeah, the default is alright with perhaps a little exposure adjustment.
Bump the drama and lower the white clipping point a little if you want a bit more local contrast.
