Here’s another comparison but with actual photos processed with 4 different programs. My choice, from looking at these, would be Silkypix 3 for better high-contrast edges, yet Lightroom seems to render sharper images, but at the expense of those high-contrast sharp edges.

Ok, found a useful comparison between the results obtained from Silkypix vs Lightroom. Seems SP is more accurate in tonal balance and natural colour, whereas Lightroom is cleaner when dealing with high-ISO images (800+ I guess) from the camera.

Makes for interesting reading. SP sounds worth a try.

there is a free developer version for Windows and OSX.

Adobe CS3 and 4 can read RAW/NEF anyways, so can lightroom.

Unfortunately SILKYPIX cannot read Nikon D90 or other new cameras.
And since any photographer has bloated Adobe anyways there is no need for SILKYPIX. Photoshop/Imageready, Bridge and Lightroom do this way better.
I wonder who made that statement on their startpage:”the best raw converter for digital images.”. The janitor?

Despite having the word ‘photo’ in the name, photoshop is apparently not for photos.
Maybe it should be called Adobe Graphicshop.

@ 7 (MattR):
Umm… probably “say.” I think most people figured that out.

@ 6 (limbs!):
Thanks for the RS link.

“I wouldn’t necessarily it’s another photoshop, or a photoshop wannabe.”
