silkypix sliders all grayed out

[gerbilthemistake]

hello i just downloaded the trial version of silkypix to compare it to acr but for some reason i cannot move the sliders for any of the adjustments except for exposure bias. is it because it is the trial version? thats pointless because i cant do anything with just selecting from a couple pre-settings. i have tried a dng from grd2, jpeg, and tiff and all the same. thanks

Actually, what you downloaded is not trial but fully functional "freeware" version of Silkypix. However, this freeware version is less feature rich than the paid version.

Here you can see the list of features available in both versions. Freeware version contains only the "blued" features.

thats a real bummer i've just downloaded this version too!.....argh!......it looks like a great program too!....wish i could afford the full version....i think i'll just have to try gimp or keep using Xnview....M

I've heard that silkypix comes bundled when you buy a pany......could this work on our Ricoh's? and is it the full version?

As far as I know, the Silkpypix bundled with Panasonic cameras is also crippled. It's definitely not a full version. But yes, even the crippled Silkypix would better than this Irodio thing

thats a shame, my father in law has a pany, I was going to borrow his Silky to give it a try, I cant afford the full version so I'll keep perservering with the Gimp!
