One HUGE reason why you should use CorelвЂ™s AfterShot Pro 3 is its Enhanced Highlight Recovery.

The only thing I had a problem with, was trying to figure out how to paint in local adjustments. There arenвЂ™t so many they become confusing. Unlike Lightroom and On1 Photo RAW which use modules, AfterShot Pro 3 uses tabs. It is supposed to bring your eye to the вЂGet MoreвЂ™ Modular Camera Profiles, but why? This isnвЂ™t the most important area to draw your attention to.Д¬amera Profiles arenвЂ™t as useful as the exposure slider, or so hidden that it needs to be pointed out. Next is that red star icon in the middle of the far-right of the interface window. They donвЂ™t need to be so over the top though. These colours are labels and can be added to your images to separate in your culling or selectionВ process. The next thing I find distracting are the terrible colours at the top of the window interface. The file system itself works, but itвЂ™s very basic. I feel like Aftershot 3 Pro was a little lazy here. Adobe Lightroom created their own icons, which are not over the top. They are horrible and distracting.ДЄt the very least, they need to be muted, or, even better, adapted to fit into the same theme as the program. Number one is the fact that they left the Windows style folder icons and colours in the File System on the left. There are many things I find that donвЂ™t fit well. I find the interface to be not as attractive or easy on the eyes as its competitors. If this is your first entrance into photo editing software, you might like the interface. One for culling and local adjustments, the other for layers, masks, focus stacking and any other strong edits.Д«ecause of this, the main competitors of AfterShot Pro 3 will be Adobe Lightroom, On1 Photo RAW, and quite possibly Darktable or Rawtherapee, even though the last two are free. I too prefer a fasterВ workflow compared to heavy adjustments.ДЄfter all, thereвЂ™s nothing wrong with using two programs. It seems that CorelвЂ™s AfterShot Pro 3 goes for speed rather than advanced editing. Lightroom and On1 Photo RAW fall into this category. They process faster than a butterfly moves but lack those heavy processing tools. Photoshop and Capture One would be great examples of these. There are the heavy hitters, who have all the advanced tools but take their time. By looking at the many, many post-processingВ softwareВ out there, itвЂ™s easy to split them into two groups.
