This is a nice plus, since you can output your final image directly from KeyShot without having to use an image editing application to tweak colors or add bloom and such. In KeyShot 9, you can also apply camera DOF and also image filters like bloom, vignette, color correction, etc. You can also save your own materials to the library so they can be reused in other scenes very easily. This material library is a real time-saver since it allows you ti simply apply a material you need.

The software also includes a big material library featuring a wide variety of real-life materials like plastic, cloth, metal, stone, gems, etc. However, re-importing textures is also very easy, and done from the material editing tab. Depending on the situation, KeyShot might not be able to import your textures (this mostly happens if you manually moved your files after exporting them from your base application). The software supports a wide variety of formats, like Maya, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Inventor, Rhino, SketchUp, and also more universal formats like 3DS, OBJ and FBX, and others. Importing your own models into KeyShot 9 is something you do with a couple of clicks.

The CPU rendering mode is actually meant to be used by people using KeyShot on systems with lower-end videocards, specially laptops (I was testing KeyShot 9 on a MacBook Pro 2013). If you have a powerful videocard, chances are you would like to take advantage of it and use the GPU rendering mode.

The story is completely different if you are using the GPU renderer. Because the GPU usage doesn't really affect your computer performance (it might affect display a tiny bit, but the OS in general will not run slower if your GPU is running at top performance). If you have ever rendered big images or animations before, you may have experienced this.

I wouldn't say this is a problem with the software, though. Personally, I would advise to not use all of them when working with KeyShot, because that can make your computer hard to use since it will work very slow, resulting in trouble adjusting the camera position and pretty much any other operation. You can, however, define how many cores you want to use.

If you are using your CPU to render, you will notice the computer performance can drop drastically, because, by default, the software is using all the CPU cores available. When you open KeyShot, you are greeted with a welcome screen that links you to tutorials, news, and also some sample projects that you can use to check out KeyShot's capabilities.
