A color revolution: this is how SGO has defined Mistika 10, the latest update of its software suite. Miguel Ángel Doncel, CEO at SGO, tell us more: “With a brand new color interface being in the core of this revolutionary upgrade, Mistika has started to shed its skin, initiating a new era of Mistika Technology. Mistika 10 offers its users a facilitated way to unlock the exceptional power of our technology, provide them with more control and boost the productivity of the color-based workflows.” 

In this widely anticipated upgrade available for ​Mistika Boutique and ​Mistika Ultima​, users will also find many other new features and enhancements boosting their overall productivity, such as completely redesigned visual editor, metadata embed for RAW media, embedded scale parameters for all clips, quick access to shapes, new common shape presets for all FX and reorganized menu for histories, among others.

To get as many reactions as possible from users and the creative community before the final release, Mistika 10 is currently in Open Beta and available to all Mistika Boutique and Mistika Ultima users in the Download section of their Online SGO Account. This pre-release is also available in the completely free of charge Eval version of Mistika Boutique, so everyone has the opportunity to try it and give their feedback on ​SGO Forum​ before making the formal release. 

“The availability and development of color tools in the market has been significantly  decreasing over the past few years and many colorists and finishing artists are looking for a differentiating solution that takes color to new levels,” adds ​Geoff Mills, Managing Director at SGO. “We have certainly been listening and Mistika 10 both confirms and demonstrates our total commitment to existing users and the many new ones who are looking for alternative solutions and want to join the rapidly growing community of Mistika Boutique and Ultima creatives.” 

“This marks a huge step for SGO,” says​ Jef Grosfeld​, co-founder of ​Pixmix Netherlands and Mistika user. “New tools and color GUI deliver even greater image control while still relying on the ever existing, excellent Mistika color science. This release will appeal to even more colorists and finishing artists than ever before and I’m very much looking forward to SGO taking this new direction even further throughout the software – The future is looking excellent!”
