While I am always skeptical of software that makes automatic adjustments, the science behind Photo Ninja works extremely well. Photo Ninja includes a file browser with all of the file management abilities you would expect. The version we tested contained the profile for a Nikon D5 and compressed RAF files from the Fuji X-Pro 2, so the program is kept up to date with camera releases. PictureCode plans on creating a repository on its website to which users can upload camera profiles they have created and other users can download them. The documentation explains this simple process. While Photo Ninja contains camera profiles for hundreds of digital cameras, advanced users can create camera profiles for their specific equipment at different ISOs and lighting conditions using standard ColorChecker targets. The documentation included and the excellent tutorials on the PictureCode website speed you through any learning curve you may have. While it cannot be moved, many other aspects of the interface are user-adjustable, making Photo Ninja easy to learn and straightforward to use. Unlike other programs, the filter adjustments panel is located on the left of the image rather than the right. The interface is clean and simple in the style of current imaging software. You access the two modules in Photo Ninja, the Browser and the Editor, from the menu bar above the preview image. And you can also access Photo Ninja through Lightroom and Photo Mechanic if you set it up as an external editor.
You can set up Photoshop to bypass Camera Raw and edit RAW, TIFF and JPEG files directly in Photo Ninja. Included in the program is the plug-in installer for Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Photoshop Elements.

Batch processing of images to TIFF or JPEG output formats is easily done.Įditions of Photo Ninja are available for 64-bit Mac and 32-bit and 64-bit Windows platforms. You can open any of the filters and change the automatic adjustments as well as open other filters and copy and paste edits from one image to others. You can program these automatic adjustments to suit your personal needs. Adjustments (Photo Ninja calls them “filters”) appropriate to the RAW, TIFF or JPEG image-based on camera model, ISO, image contrast and other analyzed properties of the image-are automatically applied. Double-clicking an image in the browser opens it in the Photo Ninja Editor module. It also lets you apply ratings, rename, rotate, delete, duplicate and other typical browser actions. The browser allows you to view image files anywhere on your computer, including network or removable drives.
Version 1.0 was released in 2012, an outgrowth of PictureCode’s excellent Noise Ninja noise reduction software, three versions of which are incorporated into Photo Ninja for different purposes.Īlso incorporated in Photo Ninja is a catalog-free image browser. Photo Ninja is a standalone and plug-in RAW file processing program, which can also process TIFF and JPEG files, and a worthy rival to Adobe Camera Raw. While a few post-processing programs with big marketing budgets capture most of the news, there are other smaller, more specialized programs that deliver results that rival those of their better-known peers.
