Hello and thanks for the update news. Do you think that the upgrade is worth it? I viewed the enhanced features in version 11 elite over version 10 elite which is what I currently own (with the viewpoint and filmpack also) and I see a few upgrades but not sure it would be enough to justify the price for upgrade which is $69 US. It also told me in "my account" that my versions of filmpack and viewpoint are current, so only the raw converter is at issue here. Just wonder what your impressions are of the justification of the upgrade to 11,
Thanks, Debra
So this is an interesting upgrade because it's really short on bullet-point features, but with a lot of tweaks and under the hood refinements.
The increased quality of PRIME 2016 is very real, and is now speed-competitive with, say, Topaz Denoise. The spot metering is very useful not just for faces but for many other types of images. And it seems like the highlight recovery is better than previous versions. This may be a result of the new Selective Tone algorithm.
So, no real "killer" features but a nice upgrade all around. Only you can decide if it's worth the upgrade price, of course.
