Corel AfterShot Pro 3 | RAW Photo Editing Software [PC/Mac Key Card]

I am a longtime user. Since they bought bibble. I have recently had to re-do my computer. I have been trying to get a working serial number for almost a month. They give me a new case number and a week later, refer it back to old number. Do not even try to call them. They are off shore and VERY difficult to understand. You ask for US based rep and they have none. So you ask for an ENGLISH speaking rep and 15 minutes later you get someone that is even harder to understand. All they want you to do is upgrade. I fell for that about 8 years ago when they bought bibble. No wonder they are struggling

Photo editing software has come a long way. I used this software to scan and enhance some old photographs circa 1939-1965 and was able to both enhance photo clarity and remove minor imperfections than probably were already on the original negative. Thanks to this editing software, many prized family photos that were deteriorating and collecting dust in a box in my closet have found renewed vibrance and are saved on my computer, ready to produce crisp and clear prints.

I wanted an alternative to lightroom and this seems to work. Im still getting used to it but I do like it.

The AfterShot Lens Correction feature does not work with my Canon Powershot even though my camera has been on the market for years. I get severe barrel distortion with AfterShot 3. Yes, you can correct for lens distortion manually but the process is too time consuming to make it practical. So I contacted Corel Help. Their advice was to Delete my %Temp% files. Uh, try it with an Administrative user. Uh, send us your PC configuration files. Uh, Ill get back to you. After a week of working with them I got the: Oh, I guess our database does not have the calibration for your camera. Uh, you can fix it manually. Yeah, right! Im going to stay which LightRoom which corrects for Lens Distortion seamlessly.

Not easy to use.

I was excited about this program because I need a program for my Photoshops incompatibility with the new Nikon NEF raw files. If you have a small monitor, this may be ok. I have a large high resolution monitor (because I do high quality photography) and this program is low resolution only. After several emails to tech support, there is just no solution to it. Unfortunate, see photos attached.

I enjoy taking photos with my Sony camera, but Im an amateur and have never learned an editing program. As a result, Ive captured beautiful moments, but my pictures are imperfect and need organization and correction before I can share them with family and friends. My pictures taken on my smartphones over the years especially need help. Many pictures seemed hopeless due to overexposure, blemishes and other issues, but Ive been truly amazed at how photos that are dull, overexposed and lacking in many ways can be transformed with Corel AfterShot Pro 3 into beautiful images to frame and share. Although AfterShot Pro 3 seems perfect for batch editing by Pros, Im using it for for editing individual photos and am really pleased with it so far.

A lot of reviews compare this product to lightroom, because light room is pretty much the gold standard in video editing, but it now has some major competition.

I am a total amateur when it comes to editing, but needed to try something for editing the photos I take for my business.

I’m an advanced intermediate hobbyist photographer. I take photos of special events, outdoor landscapes, pets, flowers and architecture, peppering in some product photos from time to time. I take most photos with my Nikon D3300 camera, but like so many of us, I also take a lot of photos on the fly with my iPhone too. I’ve used Corel’s photo editing software in addition to Picasa, various photo editing apps on my iPad, and have used Adobe Lightroom 4 and currently enjoy using Adobe’s Photoshop Elements 13.
