Corel Releases Professional Linux Photo Software

300 pics/hour?

Around that, yes.
:: I remember I did that in 23 hours, so its more ~2pictures/minute. Besides, it was multistepped - I edited only those who failed under sufficient-unique criteria in first pass.
60% were discarded rightaway for various reasons, mostly duplicate with closed eyes (I shoot series always, exactly for that reason).
Pictures originated from two dslr cameras: a500 and a700. End result was arould 6 GiBs ~900 shots.

I have refurbished 2300 (two thousand three hundred) 12mpix Alpha-500 shots from wedding using GIMP and Noise Ninja (Linux version) - ISO abberation correction, color correction, cropping, effects - in 1 night.
You don?t need Corel software for this. They have to offer something, if they want to demand something.

Anyone that's into wedding photography or thinking of getting into it for a new business, or if you're simply a collector of pics and want better management, then this seems like a purchase.

1. Trying to market on Linux platform. Win.
2. Applying same old pay-ware model. Fail.
3. With crappy technical realisation. Fail.

3/1, FAiL
but you can always try again.

I for one welcome this photo editing software, even though I don't have a need for such a program myself.

Anyone compared this to darktable yet?

Darktable also doesn't support Fuji raws (unless that was added very recently). Okok, I'll shut up now.

Corel usually make high quality products too. I used to love their Wordperfect and its built in Oxford dictionary.

Phoronix: Corel Releases Professional Linux Photo Software

If the GIMP isn't cutting it for your photo needs or running Adobe Photoshop Lightroom within Wine isn't working out, Corel has released professional-grade photo software for Linux...

Arguably, getting red eyes is unprofessional, because they're caused by using a built-in flash that's too close to the lens. Hm, maybe using Fujis is unprofessional too.

Learn something new everyday! I just wish those DSLRs were more portable..
