I find Protrait Professional is very, very cheap for the amount of time it saves compared to having to do the same things manually.
I do find it amazing that no matter how cheap something is, someone always complains about how expensive the version upgrades are and how that makes it impossible for them to contemplate upgrading. At the time of writing this, the difference between Studio and Studio 64 is $60, which is the cost of Studio = basically nothing for someone who has to even process one photo compared to any other method of doing it.
However, I find the discussion does not specifically enumerate the practical differences between the two versions enough to be able to readily determine if spending the meagre extra amount for Studio 64 is necessary. While 18MPx images can be handled by Studio, you do not state an explicit upper limit. I would like to know whether that 18MPx is close to the Studio limit or 100MPx is!
Also, does Studio 64 do some processing significantly faster or better as a result of the 'optimisations'? There appears to be no differences in functionality between the two versions. Is that correct?
Anyway, as Studio 64 is only $10 more if purchased as an upgrade compared to buying it outright, I will go with Studio until either:
- a reply to this post states worthwhile advantages, or
-I hit some processing limit.
