This early bird pricing is limited to the first 30,000 orders worldwide. After that, back up to regular pricing for the pre-order

Some of these have piqued my interest such as the removal of powerlines. If this is as good as it looks in their teaser image, I have multiple images ready to be edited in this new app. And who can’t use the dust removal option, many apps can assist you with finding the spots, but removal is still a mostly manual process. And it looks like they have expanded on the Sky Replacement AI to include the entire background.
Until I can get my hands on a test copy, will reserve my judgment on how well each of these new features work, but if the past performance of Skylum’s products is any indicator of how this one will work, I can’t wait.
