Digital Light & Color

Are the programs limited to respected RAW format then?

Thanks. I'll download it and try it out. Not looking like LR is a *good thing*. Only it seems geared towards printing and I don't print. My budget doesn't allow that. But I'm getting to terms with darktable (I've learnt it should be all lower case now...), I think. Once I figured out I can get rid o...

Yes, I've heard the same about several brands. Peculiar, one would think it should be worth a lot to them to provide a good RAW processor. Wouldn't need a lot of bells an whistles. Been at it another hour. AfterShot and Affinity is leading among the paid ones so far, usability wise. And DarkTable is...

1. Most camera vendors offer a free developer program that yields a close match to the camera JPG. Have you tried the current Olympus offering, Olympus Workspace? https://app.olympus-imaging.com/olympusworkspace/en/ 2. An alternative is Silkypix. In agreement with Jonathan, it does not encumber you...

PWP 7 does not incorporate any lens corrections in its raw conversion. My personal favorite raw converter is DxO PhotoLab -- it is expensive, but its interface is clean, it removes lens distortion, chromatic aberration and vignetting automatically, has good noise reduction, and integrates well with...

As expected and explained by Jonathan, expanding to full dynamic range changes a lot. The next thing you could do is to use the midtone slider under the "grey" menu. Yes, I can fix the darkness. Exposure compensation works best. I'm just wondering why I have to. I've tried about 10 other ...

I spoke too soon. The image looked so much better with expanded dynamic range. But when I compared to the JPG it was still dark, even if not as much. And I think I actually used the dynamic range slider when I first tried this and gave up for while.

Thank you. I don't know why I've overlooked that. I guess that corresponds to Levels and Colors | Dynamic range? Odd though that all pictures turn out that way, with seemingly compressed dynamic range. Is that normal? I've opened PWP 8 at long last. I thought it best to get up to speed with what I'm...

Hi! I used to frequent this board back in the 00s. I'm glad to recognize some names, even if I've forgotten my own user name from that time. Back then I had a small Canon G5. I shot RAW, converted with BreezeBrowser and edited the images in PWP and tried to learn the in and outs from people here at ...
