AfterShot Pro - Wishlist for future versions

[jknights]

I think what is there in ASP at present needs refinement and some additional enhancement but duplication of features between PSP and ASP is not very useful

Why not?
You forget that there are people who do not use PSP.

Because that duplication costs Corel money in development and maintenance and reduces the likelihood of us getting a better ASP product in the shorter term.
If they can build the code so it is reuseable across products then that is fine but I dont see any evidence of that in the recent past.

Nice topic for keeping us busy with sweet dreams :P

But as we can see NOBODY CARE from corel.

B5 was the last piece of Linux software for photographers....

sad :(

I think that while other Corel products are not provided for Linux is a disappointment it should not be seen a future never.
The Mac platform is also not supported but this like Linux is showing an increased percentage of use in the market.
Unfortunately there are many people 'locked' into Windows who have never seen anything else and dont appreciate the benefits of a solid OS that doesnt need to have the latest and greats processor from Intel to provide anything like reasonable performance. Microsoft always promise very well and deliver poorly but corporate land are very reluctant to change.
Whilst I am pessimistic for rapid change there is a slow change away from Windows and ultimately Linux will take more and more away from MS in the home market if it can provide a full set of applications for free in a package that installs cleanly and easily on a not state of the art hardware platform.

On a more positive note.
QT is a product that can provide Windows/Mac/Linux support with little or no cost to the developer so I hope that Corel keeps the Aftershot product as multi-platform and other products such as PSP and Painter could be expanded onto the Linux and Mac platforms as well.

Grey out options that are not available, such as most of the color balance controls when editing JPEGs.

??
Color balance works and things like WB adjustment that do not work are greyed out...

I'd like to have the possibility to calibrate a camera and then use the calibrated color profile instead of the default camera profiles. I'm quite unhappy with the default profile for my Nikon D200 - the colors of the original camera JPGs are more consistent with the original colors (as far as I'm able to remember) and are more beautiful (sky, skin colors). On the other hand the colors of a Panasonic G1 are better in AS-Pro than in the original camera JPGs.

Increasing the file size limit.
I cannot currently edit my scanned (high res) medium format film images.
I can accept a less responsive (read, slower) mode to deal with those.
However, being unable even to see the big files in ASP is a pain

Detect Similar faces and similar pictures(e.g buildings, night time photos, and portrait of faces).

Filters are activating too soon. i.e. If a filter is active as 'is not equal to...reject' we will only see the non-rejected ones. This filter is going into effect as soon as the pic is tagged, leaving a grey screen and no ability to hit left/right to go to a preceeding/next picture. B5P waiting until the a different pic was activated before filtering and it made culling photos much smoother.

The layers buttons really need to be in the lower left, closer to the region tools. These tools are used in unison and splitting them up doesn't make much sense.

Look again at the filter dialog.
There is a new checkmark in AS....

The ones in the lower left are useless artifacts taking away space from the preview area, the layer buttons are present in the layer tool...

Many "mature" people don't realize, but the OS war is already lost for Microsoft. Desktop PCs, also referred to as "Grandpa boxes", are already considered obsolete technology by most people under the age of 25. If you were to count running instances of operating systems, Linux has the clear market share. It runs most eReaders (e.g. nook, kobo), smart phones (android is linux), and is embedded in modern TVs (e.g. most plasma and LCD screens). Granted, not many are doing professional photo editing on their Android phones or Panasonic plasma screens, but the point is that Microsoft supplies an operating system for a shrinking market, whereas Linux runs where there is a growing market. And how is Microsoft doing in the smartphone/e-Reader/embedded/tablet market? Not so well...

I agree with the cataloging issue.

I would like the perfectly clear feature to work the same as with the bibble versions. in the corel version, at least on the linux port, selecting perfectly clear does nothing but create a over exposed washed out image. If i am looking at pics that i had previously prepped with the bibble version and perfectly clear had been set, i have to unset it and re-adjust the image. It is bad form to corrupt behavior from a previously good prior version. adding a different key in the .xmp associated with the corel version, is better solution. It should also add back the options that were with the bibble version (portrait, portrait greyscale,...) that no longer exist the corel versions.

i will probably stick with the bibble 5.3 in order to prevent the re-adjustment of hundreds of pics.

A Witch list:

- Add the "rendu" in the standard tab (review???) (To be able again to chose/change the basic type of colors for a Picture (Portrait, Object, Landscape, etc..)
- Improve the "Hight light recuperation" (French translated..)
- "Improve" (revue) the "Automatic levels" in Standard tab (§it is really bugged)
- Improve the "accentuation" in standard tab
- And, most important, Continue support Linux OS version
