SILKYPIX Developer Studio SE is a RAW development app, which allows you to create superb, high quality, high-resolution, low-noise images from RAW data using Panasonic digital cameras.

Key Features include:

• Accurate color representation.
• Batch tagging and processing.

A neat feature worth noting is the ability to tag each image and then process them in batches. This is useful if you need to apply the same correction to a number of images form the same shoot. You can also tag and delete multiple images in batch as well.

Overall, SILKYPIX Developer Studio SE’s automatic settings for processes such as exposure, white balance, and tone curves are fairly accurate. You can, if you choose, tweak your images based upon your own preferences, or you can revert to the original camera settings. The tool layout may be efficient once you work it out, but it does takes a little time to be comfortable navigating, and this lets the app down somewhat.

System requirements: Intel based Mac running OS X 10.6.8 or later. Panasonic Digital cameras, which are capable of shooting in RAW (excluding DMC-LC1, DMC-FZ30 and DMC-LX1).
