I'd have thought that much more cosmetic work would have been done given all the time that's passed since PhaseOne saved it from Microsoft. Media, but integrated RAW support (especially for my Panasonic GH2) is a nice addition. I never bothered update to version 2 of Exp. I agree and with many of the other posts. Well I have to say I'm a little dissapointed as I expected more than just cosmetic work. Expression Media 2 runs without a glitch on my system (Windows 7 64bit, 3.2GHz Core 2 Quad, 8Gig RAM, Radeon HD 2GB). Performance wise I can say that it is noticeably laggy with respect to interface interaction eg panel resizing, tool changes etc. Some other points to note which impede usability: padding of menu items is too small, scripts menu collapses in on itself, gray main function icons disappear into the dark interface Please get the basics right first - iView Media Pro was popular for a reason. This would go a nice bright blue when clicking an image to indicate visually which catalog sets (mine are extensive) it resides in but in your new software the highlight change is from a light grey to white which is barely visible - your testers should be telling you this is super important. One example is the highlighting of tags in the catalogue fields panel. I won't be upgrading until this improves. My use of the software is essentially as a management tool for stock and the GUI changes you have made actively get in the way. I agree with the above comments and please don't underestimate how important the GUI is to the programs function. From there, we'll tackle the small stuff like software themes. The more constructive information we can get in regards to functionality the faster we can improve it. We can change this, or show you how to edit this, down the road if need be.įor the time being, as this is the first step in the right direction for this software in several years, it would be extremely helpful if we could get some performance and feature feedback. In terms of the GUI, I can understand your concern but in the grand scheme of things this is quite minor.
