Salvage Sailor Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share #10 Posted April 25, 2020 Reloaded details of the first posted image Link to comment
Salvage Sailor Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share #11 Posted April 25, 2020 Reloaded detail of second image - The new software really works well on the original large files, but the smaller detail images are about the same. Have to fiddle with the editing a bit to see how to enhance those but overall a very nice upgrade to the WMF & USMF Link to comment
