Some new software products have appeared just in time to distract you from Christmas shopping:
- Capture One 6.0. The big change is non-destructive edits (including not changing the original raw file). But perspective control is another useful new feature. Comes in Express and Pro versions, and both are 64-bit compatible and use OpenCL/GPU for acceleration if you have a compatible graphics system. Buried in the announcement was the release of an early version of Capture Pilot, an iOS application that allows you to wirelessly view, zoom, and pan images from various DSLR and MF cameras.
- Topaz InFocus. A new Photoshop plug-in that does image sharpening and blur reduction using a new deconvolution technology. Introductory price of US$29.99 is good through tomorrow.
- DxO Optics Pro version 6.5.1 adds Nikon D7000 support.
