The quality of the finished product is impressive and there's no smudging or loss of detail in sight. The software's noise removal feature is worth a few words as it's excellent, even more so when working with RAW files. If you like a particular adjustment grouping and think it will work well for several images, you can make presets you can apply with just one click, too. Tools are categorised into menus that can be extended or hidden to give the interface a less busy look (if you want to) and you can use sliders or input values to edit settings.

If you do want to make your own adjustments, you can as the right-hand panel has a great-big list of them. Some might not like software taking control but it actually does a really good job (you can actually export some images after the auto edits have been applied, it's that impressive) and for those who are new to photo editing, it can help you create a decent looking image in not much time at all. This includes noise reduction, white balance, lens sharpness, contrast, vignetting, chromatic aberration removal and dynamic range fixes. When you first select an image to open in the Customize window, the software quickly applies edits, it thinks, the image needs. We'll quickly give an overview of the Customize panel before taking a closer look at the small, but mighty, updates that have been introduced in version 1.2.
