To Pro or not to Pro?
Filterstorm is an image editor, Filterstorm Pro is a workflow tool. They share identical image editing capabilities, but Filterstorm Pro uses its built-in library to add organizational, and batch editing, metadata management, and delivery tools on top of what Filterstorm offers. Most users should buy Filterstorm (Not Pro), but Photojournalists, road-warriors, and more serious amateurs may wish to take a closer look at FSPro. Filterstorm is Universal for iPhone and iPad, but Filterstorm Pro is currently iPad ONLY.

*22MP Export is stable, but slow. For faster final processing it is recommended to set the max processing beneath 17MP and turn Layers off. This allows FS to keep the entire image in memory without having to write parts off to the flash storage.
**Filterstorm uses Apple's RAW reading mechanisms and is only compatible with cameras supported by Apple. This includes most modern Nikon and Canon cameras, but notably does NOT include .DNG files at the moment.
