DL-C has released PWP 6.0. I haven't personally upgaded YET, but will
over the next couple of weeks.
Taking a cue from Adobe on upgrade pricing.. The upgrade price for 5.x
users is a whopping USD $44.95. Of course, if you don't already have
it, the full version is $89.95.
OK, scratch the Adobe reference. You'd have to slide the decimal point
over one digit to the right.
PWP isn't for everybody. If you are married to the layers approach to
life, you'll find the program rather disagreeable. But for those who
work more linearily and value time, this program is simply terrific.
It is extremely fast and doesn't pork out the RAM of your computer. In
fact, 6.0 is either 64-bit or 32-bit. Oh, and it takes advantage of
multi-core processsors. No complaints here with the old version,
that's for sure. Also, for those who suffer from the Adobe 8-bit
curse, the imaging engine is entirely 16-bit.
As an Olympus user, you know that I'm a fan of the underdog. Well,
DL-C/PWP is definitely an underdog, but for those of us who have
adapted our editing lifestyles to the this chosen editor "religion",
we are usually true believers.
