For JPEG adjustments, choose SILKYPIX.
SILKYPIX Proprietary Technology
Generally, JPEG data consists of 8-bit (256 gradations) image data, but SILKYPIX automatically expands this to 16-bit (65,536 gradations) using the proprietary "SILKYPIX RAW Bridge" function, bringing the image closer to the state of RAW data. This allows for high-quality adjustments with fewer tone jumps. More accurate color reproduction is possible, especially when adjusting white balance.
Enjoy photo adjustments with easy controls
Show basic adjustments in a list.
The "Quick" mode has been newly introduced, offering a list view of basic adjustment items such as exposure (brightness), white balance (color tone), and tone (contrast between light and dark). With the basic adjustment sliders readily displayed, anyone can effortlessly begin enhancing their photos by simply moving the sliders left or right.
Versatile features to realize your image.
In addition to basic adjustments, this software offers a wide range of tools to bring your creative vision to life. These include the "Partial Correction Tool," which allows adjustments to the saturation and brightness of specific areas; the "Fine Color Controller," for precise adjustments to individual colors; the "Composite," for merging multiple photos into entirely new creations; and the "Retouch Brush Tool," for removing unwanted objects. With these versatile features, you can fine-tune your images to match your artistic intent.
Instantly transform photos into various images.
SILKYPIX JPEG Photography 12 includes 66 adjustment presets, called "Tastes," allowing you to effortlessly transform your photos to match styles like "Landscape" or "Portrait."
A New, Clear, and Intuitive Interface
New Tone Adjustment "Soft" for a Softer Impression
Applying a blur effect to the light sources and highlight areas creates a softer, more delicate impression in the photo.
Make hazy photos clearer
The darkening side effect of the conventional "Dehaze" function has been reduced, and it has been improved to apply the effect more effectively to areas with stronger haze.
A new interface designed with clarity in mind.
To make it easier for first-time users of photo editing software, the layout of the interface buttons has been organized according to different categories of use. Additionally, a "Quick" mode has been introduced, displaying a list of frequently used basic adjustment functions for immediate adjustments. Various improvements to the interface have been made to enhance usability and streamline the editing process.
Organized button layout
The button layout has been reorganized by grouping tool buttons, selectors, and display switches based on their functions, making the interface clearer and more intuitive.
