Silkypix just had an update.

 

I haven't tried Silkypix in years, as it was terribly slow.

 

For the heck of it I downloaded it and tried it out today and it moves along just find and converts as fast as LR.

 

I hate the terminology and interface, and will need to take a tutorial....

 

Why do I see so many complaints about Silkypix being slow?

 

Did the update resolve something?

 

Why the bad rap, besides the odd language and interface?

I have just returned to SP 7 Pro after a year with LR. Having learnt more about image editing first principles, I am liking SP more and more and getting better results than with LR. Looking at upgrading to SP8 Pro. I recommend SilkySoul YouTube videos to help you better understand SP. Terrible translation but very interesting, if you pay close attention.

Since I'm also on the way leaving Lr behind I considered ON1, Capture One and MacPhun... of which only C1 currently has the DAM part covered... but the other two plan to deliver it 2018.

But I never considered Silkypix (mainly to the reason the version coming with the Fuji-cam is lacking so much features - really not sure, if Ichikawa is doing itself a favour bundling such a ancient version with new cameras).

 

Seems Silkypix Studio Pro 8 should be another candidate on my evaluation-list - especially, since you get 100€ discount as Fuji-user.

Peter,

 

I have been using ACDSee for DAM for ages because it is very fast. SP interface takes the same time to get used to as any other raw converter and the results are good. The film simulations are, as far as I can tell, equivalent to sooc. I have SP V8 Pro and it is fast on my machine (i5 7500, NVMe SSD), but so was the V6. I suppose the "bad rap" comes from the fact that most people have been using LR for a long time and most photographers are more artistic than technical kind of people and they find it difficult to try new things. Cheers

Hi, I have been trying to buy the upgrade to SP 8 pro (have Pro 7), but the EU website has problems. Where did you get Pro8 from? Was it an upgrade? Thanks.

I have it from silkypix.eu, it was an upgrade from V6. What problems ? The silkypix.eu website seems to be working just fine right now, both with Chrome and with Edge. You are welcome.

Thanks. I have tried several times to buy an upgrade to Pro7 but nothing gets added to the basket. Tried Edge, Firefox and Chrome on W10 machine. Getting no response from any email I send to as many email addresses as I can find, including Silkypix Japan. May try using a Linux machine to get the exe downloaded.

Well, you are right. I just tried to buy something and the same happened to me - shopping cart empty. For how many days have you been trying ?

 

I filled in their support form (which responded that it was received alright) to describe the problem. I will let you know if they respond.

I have again reported it via that support form. That will be the third time. It has been non-functional for a week. I will let you know if I get a response. Please let me know if they respond to you. At least I now know it not only me that is seeing the issue.

I have just had a response from Japan. "Due to various circumstances,

Globell B.V. is currently stopping selling."

 

I am being offered help to upgrade via the ISL online store, which I will do. So, for anybody wanting Silkypix, contact info_english@usl.co.jp.

      X-s10 Fast shutting 20/30 fps crop ES

      By mapoett · Posted

      Hello. Thankyou,now Is all more clear: I have take some time in your link. Let tell you. I has totaly forget this machine have "compress picture option" and not Only "compress lossless" anyway not change the experiment. RAW  and this last two format look like same result about Number of recording picture. Can tell all results in this: in raw you can make 17 pictures for second. Is wrong. Is about One single Press and wait buffer. Full 30/20/10/8 not change. After 17 Need Press again. You not can Press before "redgreen light recording Is on".   With preshot you can have 25  are more 7 pictures . The story change Only in jpg shot only. In jpg at 30 you have 30 picture but redgreen light off very Fast so you can shot very quicly. At 20 shot Is about start look like infinite shot. 60. So the best performance are this last One  about Speed and recording picture after camera working witout big limit. I want take a shot about Italy cyclet Just for passion. I think i Will use this last setting.  After Need check when battery not are full change and ambient temp.  Anyway my cam look like exactly specific about you link. Im Happy my cam working perfectly.

      I do not use Flickr, so I do not know what their BB code is. All I did was copy the second link you provided, (starting at https: and ending at  _k.jpg — leave off the [img] and [/img] tags) and pasted it into the message. After a moment, a message popped up asking if I wanted to paste it as the image or as a plain link. I did this twice, the first time I had it paste in as the image and the second time as a link. Nothing fancy or tricky.

      So do I just copy the BB code from flickr and paste it anywhere on the page like other forums or is there some other trick I need to perform to get it to post?

      X Raw Studio Doesn't Create Drive for Camera When Connected

      By JovialLich · Posted

      All software is the latest between camera and app. All settings are correct on camera. I have both lossless and uncompressed RAW files on the card in the camera. I have been up and down every reddit thread to no avail and am losing my mind… I’m doing all of the right things. It even sees my camera. It just doesn’t create the “drive” for it (see attached image screenshot).  Please Help!
