I have no problem with Silkpix either, I have the free version (2.0E) and
the 3.0SE (came with Pana FZ18). It took me a few minutes the first time to
find out how to convert and save the file. I also purchased the Capture One
years ago, when it gave me a free upgrade to Capture One 4, it also took me
some time to find out how to setup the convert/save path but I wouldn't say
it is difficult. I never read their software manual, it just took some
clicks and trial.
BTW, both workflows are better than ACR and I like the Silkpix color better.
