As a longtime user of Slow Shutter Cam on iOS, which is the definitive app of its kind, I was pretty unimpressed with that portion of Spectre. SSC can let you re-shoot into the image, lets you set the time 30 30 seconds (or endlessly, AKA ā€˜bulbā€™), has a self-timer to reduce shake, and a lot more. I also found the Spectre images to be a lot less sharp - handheld or mounted - than SSC.

The app was a main focus of the latest episode of the Tiny Shutter podcast, and the hosts - who to a man all love Halide - were generally underwhelmed, some feeling the app was rushed out the door.

The anti-shake feature is (potentially) good, and the AI-based tech is unique. But for slow-shutter/light-trails itā€™s not up to the competition.

Last day: DxO PhotoLab2 Elite for ā‚¬89 instead of ā‚¬199 with the PromoCode ā€œAPRIL-SAVE-DPL2ā€.

While I use Lightroom for most of my stuff, PhotoLab2 is better at some stuff. Really high end RAW processing.

And PhotoMechanic 6 is finally out! 64bit, reverse geoencodig and other stuff. Just downloaded it, didnā€™t give it a try yet.
