Looks very much like Lightroom. Be interesting to see how it performs

sony a900 files (which adobe had problems with until LR3)
iso 200 - fractionally not as good as lightroom / capture one - touch darker, fixing creates more noise, had to sharpen as well
higher iso (800+) extremely poor, doesnt compare with adobe or capture one - blacks blocking in, lots of coarse noise,

5d mark II, d700 - atrocious noise in the sky, sharpness not well controlled - some details smeared, looking mushy. The tools remind of LR, but the implementation is far from it, quality wise. You're on the right track, though. What I would do (if you can) is implement the control of the colors like in Capture One.

ETA - apologies OP, I thought you're the developer

- my ideas were for the author of the software.

Tested it today and have to agree with you. It is still in Beta so hopefully future versions will fix some the issues.
