Nice comparison example there.
Just based on that one fp sample, I can't see where it is as good as NI/FM,
properly applied.

Too bad the rest of the processing isn't the same for color, contrast, etc.
Still, differences in visible detail are
obvious.

OOF!

Weelll, he's leaning that way for this version. I can't see where it betters
what I'm already doing, although it will
work on 64 bit.
The larger issue for me personally is that it only works for one of my lenses,
the 10-22, which only accounts for a
minor % of my shots. The storage impact would also be an issue, if it worked
for more than a few of my images.
I could sell something(s) to get a Canon 28-300, but couldn't afford a Sherpa
to carry it. :-)
