The taste function that allows you to create a variety of artistic representations with a single click. This popular function in the SILKYPIX series, has been significantly upgraded. 56 creatively inspiring tastes have been added which expand your artistic and expressive horizons.

 

Introduce the taste function

Taste is a preset value for a developing parameter. 67 distinctive tastes are available on SILKYPIX Developer Studio Pro10 and later.

Of course, you can also register your favorite development parameters as tastes, and you can customize the tastes included and edit them for yourself.

Make sure that the section of the main window is the “Adjustment” section. Click here for Main window section switching.

You can select and apply tastes from the drop-down list next to the gear icon in the main control area of the parameter control. And, you can also place the cursor over the taste name to see what the image looks like while choosing a taste. Click to apply the settings.

This time, we applied the “Nostalgic toy camera” taste. This taste makes the white balance warmer and reduces overall saturation and shading (peripheral brightness reduction) for a toy camera-like finish.

In the taste “Nostalgic toy camera”, there is an adjustment parameter that reduces the shading (peripheral brightness reduction) to dark. It is the “Blurred periphery,” a taste that allows only this shading (peripheral brightness reduction) to be adjusted to darken. Similarly, you can also use a “Dimmed periphery” that is blurred from the center outward.

Blurred periphery: This adjusts the shading (peripheral brightness reduction) of the Lens aberration controller. You can choose the amount of ambient light in a image in three stages: weak, medium, and strong.

Dimmed periphery: Adjusts the effect of Blurred / Sharp periphery. You can choose weak, medium, or strong, but all three have a blur intensity of 100. This changes the scope where the effect is applied.

You can also make adjustments to images after taste is applied. Please use those tastes!

Add taste / Edit tastes

---

Once you’ve added your favorite adjust parameters to your tastes, you can simply select them from the drop-down list to apply them. Taste can be set not only for “whole” but also for “partial” of each parameter, so you can register correction parameters such as lens correction and noise reduction according to your cameras!

Click the gear icon at the top of the parameter control to display the Add parameters taste. Please proceed with the adjustment parameters you want to register as a taste.

Initially, “USER TASTE 1” is displayed. Name the taste in “Rename” and click “OK” to register it as your taste.

Unlike “Storerooms”, even if you close the software, your registered taste will not disappear, so you can use it any times!

* In “Storerooms”, you can temporarily save the adjustment parameters by pressing button. Display the image you want to apply the adjustment parameters and click the saved time of adjustment parameters. This “Storerooms” is reset once the software is closed.

You can customize by changing taste names and the order they are displayed to make it easier to select tastes. You can also save / restore tastes and move then to other PCs through export and import functions.

The taste is very convenient, so please use it with the new preset taste for your RAW development and image adjustment!
