Talk:Helicon Filter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Notability

Like many photo editing programs, Helicon Filter deserves a page. I wrote a stub for it and will expand it shortly. Even if I do not expand the page, though, it should be kept so people who want can expand it in the future. If you google "helicon filter", you'll find that the search yields about 80,000 hits. As such, it seems to meet notability standards implied by the constituency of the list of raster graphics editors, which includes software such as Ability Photopaint (19,100 hits), CodedColor (96,600), ACD Canvas (25,400), and WinImages (17,400). I got this software a few weeks ago, and it certainly matches the quality and comprehensiveness of leading photo-editing software. It's fairly competitive and has received considerable public coverage and exposure (see here, for example). (By the way, I found a photozone poll that indicates that Helicon Filter is the fifth most popular tool for noise and grain reduction [1]). -Althepal 21:36, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Helicon Filter vs. Photoshop and others

The article already has a little info on the differences between Helicon Filter and other programs, but I request that a detailed section be made. I don't personally have enough experiment with programs other than Helicon Filter to write a proper section. -Althepal 05:14, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
