Silkypix Differences V3-V4-Pro

Back to Menu Page

This is not a list of features but a list of differences between the versions. The V3 is due to fade out and only V4 and Pro should be considered now. But for the while V3 SE exists as a free version supplied with Panasonic RAW capable cameras. Other special versions exist for some other cameras, but I only have the Panasonic version. Details basically extracted from the full feature list here.

Some of the features have yet to be explored and later the Function comments may be clarified. Many standard features are in all versions, the V3 version is definitely not a poor cousin version, this list is just the significant differences and the list may be altered as I test more functions.
