i agree with david, you need a donation button so we can send you a few bucks. it's a huge time-saver. i've been having a great time with this bit of freeware, since i started using it properly....thanks, felix.

Thank you, David and Meryem. I like places like this a lot, where people are
willing to share their experiences and knowledge (how much more difficult it
would have been 10, 15 years ago to get the information i am looking for)
and i am happy to make my contribution in form of this little applications.
(and it was some fun, too, to gather the information and make the
programming)
So, just enjoy and have fun ;-)

Canon Console alternative - Preset tuner
 

This doesn't have all the functionality of Console but is an alternative as far as Preset tuning is concerned - and it is free. Load in Presets from your SD card, modify quickly with sliders and resave - easy!

XH Tuner:
Aktionen : XHTuner - slashCAM freeware tool for finetuning the Canon XH A1 and XH G1: Einleitung / System Requirements / Installation / Licence / Instructions

Although this is a very good Preset configurator, I use it for over a year already, it cann't absolutely be compared to Console1.1. That's comparing apples and pears. With Console1.1 and your camera connected you can immediately see the effect of altering a value. That's the big difference.

I agree (I've got Console 1.1 as well), but its handy for altering presets .. I only came across XH Tuner the other day while searching Google.

looks pretty nice, definatley a preset helper. my dslr has a program like this one. correct me if im wrong...but is this only pc based. any free preset software for mac platforms?

Daniel, you can choose either Mac or PC versions from this location:

Should have searched here first! Thread now merged with
our original six-page XH Custom Preset Tuner discussion.

much appreciated chris! you seem to be very knowledgeable around the a1/film...thanks!=].

does anyone know if this app works well for its purpose.

dan

It works very well and it makes configuring a preset a lot easier than configuring it in the A1. But at the end, for checking the results, you always have to transport a preset to the A1.
