AfterShot Pro’s 64-bit architecture gives you more processing power, removes memory limitations, and lets you work with much larger images (files up to 250 megapixels in size and TIFF files larger than 30MB). More memory can be accessed and the application is more stable and responsive overall. Based on our renowned multicore performance, AfterShot Pro is up to four times faster than Lightroom*: So you can get the results you want faster and save even more time.

OpenCL support

OpenCL allows you to harness the power of your graphics card (GPU) to increase the processing speed of AfterShot Pro. Depending on your graphics card and computer system, this can produce impressive results. It’s best if you try OpenCL for yourself.
