Tune is for exposure/contrast and colour correcting, Detail for sharpening tools, Geometry is where you can crop, change perspective and lens correct while Repair is where you’ll find the clone and heal tools. You work using four robust nondestructive develop tool tabs: Tune, Detail, Geometry and Repair. With layered editing included it also has full history recall, auto refined controls on adjustment tools and extensive masking options. It also comes with a multiple document interface, so you can work on more than one image at a time. Beyond that it offers full Raw support for over 500 camera models, so file compatibility is sound here. My first observation was that Gemstone has a number of features similar to those provided by ACDSee’s Photo Studio editing suite, such as Light EQ, Frequency Separation, Path Text, Pixel Targeting, Colour Wheels, Tone Wheels and the Liquify tool. Here then is an overview of what it has to offer and my thoughts on how it performs. In saying that, I should also point out that the program is only available to Windows users at present. It won’t be free forever, however, so take it for a spin while you can. ACDSee receives the benefit of the informed input of the photographic community while those who download the Beta and take part will have a free software package to work with. All new in Gemstone is the ability to link and unlink masks.The idea of a Beta of course is that it’s an opportunity for photographers to take a closer look and to deliver crucial feedback to the developers, and it’s an arrangement that generally offers a great deal to both parties. A great way to use the layered editor is to find examples of repeated work, like making posters, and create a poster preset that you can re-use repeatedly and tweak on the fly where necessary. Edit each layer to your liking to find the perfect outcome. Gemstone also offers a full layered editor that allows you to add as many creative elements to your document as you would like such as color backgrounds, image files, masks, and so much more. RAW also offers a History panel so you can see and access each adjustment made during the editing process. Once completed, you can move your presets to a category or create a custom category for better organization. ACDSee RAW also features a Presets pane for saving customized adjustments and easily applying them to future image edits. Gemstone has optimized the performance of RAW decoding for faster loading times and supports over 500 cameras. Gemstone features ACDSee RAW, a dedicated interface for editing RAW files that includes a robust collection of Tune, Detail, Geometry, and Repair tools. Gemstone offers very flexible workflow options allowing customized workflows for each user. You can even keep your workspace tidy by easily hiding multiple open documents with the tab feature. With a Multi Document Interface, users can now have multiple documents open at one time, have two projects open on a split-screen for easy comparison, or have documents open in their own tab to move to another monitor. Some of the other improvements include non-destructive Move and Crop tools, the ability to Rotate to Crop, pan an image without needing to zoom in, less obtrusive watermarks with relative positioning, and a host of more lens correction profiles added to an already impressive list. Gemstone also has a blindingly fast start-up and faster RAW decoding times. For creative additions, Gemstone has added path text, and frame text to for an expanded dimension to image edits.Īttention to detail was not just added to new features, Gemstone has been optimized under the hood for big performance gains when working with large and complex documents. New and exciting to Gemstone are the Color Wheel and Tone Wheels that allow for a finer grade of control over a wider range of colors and tones. From the Home Screen you can start new projects from templates, open RAW files in the dedicated ACDSee RAW window, or continue working on previously opened projects. Gemstone includes a feature-rich host of image processing tools, robust RAW support for over 600 cameras, a full layered editor, and our first ever photo editor with a Multi Document Interface (MDI).
