Does the software allow for preferences??
Yes. In the past many photographers would process everything with what Kodak called their "Product" setting because it produced higher contrast (still flat) and more saturation than the other settings. Even portrait photographers used this setting and avoided the even lower contrast "Portrait" setting. With the increased punch to the look of 3.1 processed files, I often find myself reaching for the lower contrast/saturation options now. I never gave them a second thought before. The point is that there is now a lot of useable variety to how basic image processing occurs. If a photographer is in a workflow where they want a very good image to pop right out of PhotoDesk without ever making a trip to Photoshop, there's probably a look setting that will accomplish this. That wasn't really true before. Sharpening and noise reduction settings were also improved in 3.1. Bottom line is that with careful attention to PhotoDesk settings you'll do far less to the image in Photoshop. This makes for a more versatile workflow. Event photographers that want to sell an image right out of the camera or commercial shooters that want to tweak an image endlessly before final use can both get what they want.
