General Comments and Introduction to Silkypix
Not a tutorial, just interesting items.
 Silkypix Home Page
Version 5 now available in English
30 day trial, cost to license. The download and maintenance has reverted back from USA to ISL Labs in Japan from 1st Nov 2010, and from Silkypix UK on 1st January 2011.  The appropriate manual does get installed on the hard drive when Silkypix is installed. Purchasers of V4 from January 2011 will get the V5 licence free. Base cost seems to allow 2 computers, extra cost 3 computers.
All prices rather expensive in my view.

The V4 Pro PDF manual,
print this, easier to read than on screen.

Comment about Manuals - hard to read at first but make more sense as you get used to the controls and their possibly unfamiliar names. Plenty of extra reading and explanations of how things work in digital imaging.  The appropriate manual is always installed on the hard drive at Silkypix install time.
Important: After installation or updates, always check View - Display Settings - Enable Colour Management - Select ICC/ICM File - Specify the file that your monitor calibration program created.
