So far I don't see anything demonstrates superiority to what I can obtain from ACR or Lightroom.
LR has layer/opacity functionality
+1 @ thanks for the link.
For 15 bones you can't even get a layer plug-in for LR that I know of. I also noticed the resemblance more toward C1 than ACR (just a couple files so far). C1 had put me off because I'd have to get their pro version to support my old SLR/C. I just wasn't quite up to that after shelling out $$$ to Adobe for their Suite & LR. I demo'd OnOne layers plug in a while back ... but the whole in one program, then out to another one, then back in to the first one, etc. wasn't for me.
Personally, I use layers quite a lot, for others this may be of no value to them. But, for layers fans ... a RAW converter with layers is at least worth a peek (free demo or 15 bones), especially if you've not been a fan of ACR. If you're happy with ACR, I don't think anyone is trying to make ASP out to suggest that LR is "worthless" ... just maybe "worth less" to some. I'll take a peak under the hood and an honest test ride before I toss the baby out with the bath water just because of the history.
I tried a first year Evo. If I had dismissed it as being the same as when AMF owned Harley (even though AMF designed the Evo), I'd have missed out on a great ride. We can pre-judge based on history or we can put it through its paces to find out what it's got and what it's not ... your choice. For me, I'll take it for a ride before I pass judgment, but I'm diggin' the possibility of Raw Converter + Layers ... we'll see how it goes.
