Hi Peter,
In "refine RAW exposure" the Fill light and the new WB slider share the space that was reserved for the Fill light slider in Studio: very arkward for my shaky old age pensioner's hands. I would be nice to be able to use the mouse wheel to change values in small increments.
The facility is already there (always has) to click the end of the slider bar and the slider will move in small increments. I use that more now the sliders are shorter.
I still don't like to have .qrs and .flt files in my picture folder together with .xmp from other programmes.
I would not agree with that. When I archive images to DVD or copy another hard drive, I know I've got everything together to re-create my original adjustments.
I would also be nice to be able to actually see the changes that you apply in the "RAW format options", esp. sharpening and noise reduction while setting the values.
Although there is a little testing needed to get the values set correctly, once set they should not require constant adjustment. That's the concept and I find it works. Remember you can save the values for a particular camera and they will automatically be used appropriately.
I will wait a while before I switch to Ultimate and see what future upgrades might bring along
You'll miss out on the current advantages, especially as you use Qimage for raw. The big one is the speed of operation once the thumbs and cache have been created.
Screen view, Editor operation, Slide shows and Print processing all work much faster. It makes these operations more of a pleasure to use.
