PhaseOne is well-known for offering digital backs and software for Hasselblad and Mamiya cameras. The Danish company’s Capture One RAW processing software was designed for professional photographers. Though debatable, it’s still regarded as the best RAW converter by many pros and it is my favourite program, too. |

Known for their sensor tests (see dxomarks.com) the French company offers a high quality RAW converter and image processing software, too. Especially the latest release of Photolabs is very good, IMO and may be an alternative to CaptureOne in some aspects, especially for architecture photography. Apart from the long approved lens and camera profiles and noise reduction, the use of AI for the tools in Photolabs is promising.
The company also offers the popular NiK Collection that includes an extensive set of very good filters and is used by many photographers me included |

Topaz offers tools for image noise reduction, sharpening, photo enlargements and more, – usable as stand alone programs and Photoshop Plugins. Based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) some of the tools can lead to significant improvements. I regularily use AI Denoise for editing and highly recommend it. Depending on the image content, AI Gigapixel can be useful for enlargements, too,- i.e after cropping. |

Fred Miranda’s site has very informative forums covering all kinds of photo gear, photographic topics and also boards for image presentation and critics. It offers equipment reviews and feedbacks from users, too. Fred’s Buy & Sell board for used gear is a known and respected address for registered users, but probably an attractive option only for photographers living in the US. |

Neatimage is a widely known tool designed to reduce visible noise and grain in photographic images, produced by digital cameras and scanners. The software can be used as a Photoshop plugin or standalone application. Though today’s DSLRs produce pretty clean files within a wide ISO range, I sometimes used the program for accurate noise reduction in high ISO images or long exposured photographs – such as Northern light shots. it’s a good and effective tool, but I preferably use Topaz AI Denoise now and have not tried the latest version of Neatimage yet.. |
