    Good Software

    Date: Sep 05 2025

    Summary: Overall a good editor to have. The learning curve is steep, and adjustments can require repeated tinkering to get right. but offer professional-level editing at zero cost

    Positive: Its interface, though initially confusing, has powerful modules for exposure, contrast, white balance, advanced color zones, tone mapping, and masking. It supports many RAW file types and maintains accurate color profiles. I love it.

    Negative: The interface is outdated and doesn't help me navigate to the tools that much. although it has various amazing features, the interface makes it feel outdated and old compared to other software on the market.
