We are releasing sample photographs using one of SILKYPIX’s distinctive features known as “Taste,” as well as the “Tastes” themselves.
Take some time to enjoy applying some of the “Tastes” you have downloaded to your photographs.
Then, after you have applied the various “Tastes” we have released, please give others some hints as to how they can be used to further their own methods of expression.
”Tastes” are “assortments of variants of each parameter” used to create a finished photographic image.
By reading a taste, you can change the target image in one fell swoop. There are ten kinds of tastes set in SILKYPIX from the time you install the software.

Digital Cross Process
Four Kinds of “Digital Cross Process” Tastes
When taking photographs with film, there is a method, known as the cross process, for expressing portrayals that have extremely strong color development and clear contrasts by developing the film using developing solutions made for negative film on positive film. By using a different developing solution, you will not obtain appropriate colors or contrast, but you may find you have a quite tasteful finish. We have included four types of “Tastes” so that you can make images like this cross process under “Digital Cross Process.”
Hard Monochrome
“Hard Monochrome” Tastes
One feature of the hard monochrome expression “Taste” is image making with a powerfully high contrast.
It can bring out both the mysterious and the dramatic even in those close-ups that you are used to seeing casually.
In addition, because there are cases in which expressions go to the extreme depending on the kind of subject and its condition, we have prepared high contrast expressions known as “Hard Monochrome” “Hard Monochrome Gray Tone” and “Hard Monochrome White Tone”.
