This looks like a port of a Windoze app, which one can easily tell by the lack of any menus in the Mac menu bar and lots of menus at the top of the app window. When you're working with a laptop screen, you need all the space you can find and adding an extra menubar on the app window rather than using the Mac's ever-present menubar is a "no sale" for me and a warning to others who might be interested. If you buy a $100+ app you expect it to have the Mac look and feel.

It’s okay. The RAW conversion is little grainy and overall it’s a little clunky. It needs an upgrade badly with retina graphics at the top of the list because it looks really grainy on a MacBook Pro and that’s incongruous for an image editor. And honestly? It’s waaaaaaay overpriced. Something like Affinity Photo is less than half the price and will give you much more bang for your buck.

I used Noise Ninja in the past with very good results... Today I received a mail from a friend, telling me to give a try to PhotoNinja 1.0. I did some test to compare with LR4, Aperture, DXO and Capture One...yes I own license for all those...bit crazy maybe...;-) What I can see, is that this new soft is equal or better than the others with the presets by default. It will save me a lot of time in the future, and I can use it from LightRoom as an external editor, and PhotoNinja "finds" the raw original... Have a try, you won't regret it. As for the price, I had a reduction because my old licence of NoiseNinja...great.

The $97 upgrade is nothing short of ridiculous. I recommend you look elsewhere, anywhere, for a better deal than this. I wound up with Noiseware and that is cheaper new than this is as an upgrade.
