Hasselblad Phocus vs Retouch4me

Hasselblad Phocus is RAW image-processing software for Hasselblad cameras, available for Windows and macOS. It supports 3FR and FFF RAW files and is free. Local tools let you adjust exposure, white balance, colour and moiré with gradients or a brush. Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution is intended to produce reliable colour without multiple colour profiles. For perspective correction, the Keystone Tool offers guideline controls and manual sliders, including dual-axis correction. Phocus can detect moiré automatically and correct it across an image or locally with the brush. Digital Lens Correction addresses colour aberration, distortion and light fall off for supported Hasselblad H System and classic Carl Zeiss V System lenses. The Film Grain tool provides three simulations, with controls for amount, granularity, roughness and colour; Adaptive Chromatic Aberration can also correct images made with third-party lenses. Tethered focus bracketing through Capture Sequencer is supported for X, H and 907X cameras. The listed Mac update, Phocus 4.2.2, includes language switching in the app, smoother zoom and editing for re-imported exported HEIF files.
