Congrats!
I've just started looking at Lightroom for its non-RAW features but played with the Adobe RAW controls for some time. As much as I would like to use a single product, I feel no draw to stop using SilkyPix.
I'm just hoping I can find a way to make the two work well together.
Are you doing B&W at all? I don't find SilkyPix to be good in that area at all -- but then I am horrible at B&W to begin with. :-0 Just interested if you found a method that works or still have to bring into Photoshop.
No, Mono does not work well for me in SP, I still import into CS3 for my tittivating and mono conversions, toning, Actions etc. Maybe one day SP will have all those things too.Congrats!

I AM liking SP very very much, have just spent another 3 hours on it today and the results I think are superior to Adobe RAW, never thought I would be saying this but I supoose I have outgrown Adobe RAW.
I feel much more in control with SP and it is far more refined in its adjustments.
I love the way it previews as you slide down the choices of Contrast; tone; WB etc etc.
I have seen the light and am a convert now! Lilly

Anyone have an idea how long on average it takes to come through once you apply?
I applied for mine on 20 Nov and have had no acknowledgement from them yet?

One thing I have noticed is though, SP is making another folder in my image dirs. 'SilkpixDS' containing .spi files, can I delete these after I make my tiff or jpg file?

I just thought I would say I have joined the Silkpix Fan Club!
It looks very scary at first, but with Matts easy to follow tips and a calm & creative frame of mind the results are stunning so far.... At first there is almost too much for one to fiddle with, but I think I am getting the hang of it.
The only thing I dont like about it is when opening a new DNG file and you have that awful small tacky window and icons to view them from as compared to cool Adobe Bridge. But I think the pros outweigh the cons, but then I am only on it for a day so far
