Re: raw conversion (was Undersharpening)
I just got a reply from a question posed to Pentax USA regarding photo-lab: "There may be a Photoshop RAW file plugin released with a future firmware update to the camera. There has been talk of this, but I don't have a definitive timeframe on that. Perhaps Q1 next year..." Pretty vague, but it sounds like they are working on it Christian Skofteland [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: "Herb Chong" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2003 8:55 PM Subject: Re: raw conversion (was Undersharpening) > reading the bits and producing a recognizable image isn't enough. it has to > be tagged with and processed with the right profiles. since Pentax hasn't > published the file format, it's hard to tell what nonlinearities the Pentax > software corrects for yet. comparing the bits between TIFF16 and what dcRaw > puts out isn't worth my time. > > Herb > - Original Message - > From: "danilo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2003 11:05 AM > Subject: raw conversion (was Undersharpening) > > > > good news for all you linux users here: > > > > http://www.cybercom.net/~dcoffin/ > > > > you can find a free-software generic raw converter which fits a lot of > digital > > camera's raw format, used also in many commercial product (see web page > for > > details). > > This guy have done a good work. > >
Re: raw conversion (was Undersharpening)
reading the bits and producing a recognizable image isn't enough. it has to be tagged with and processed with the right profiles. since Pentax hasn't published the file format, it's hard to tell what nonlinearities the Pentax software corrects for yet. comparing the bits between TIFF16 and what dcRaw puts out isn't worth my time.

Re: raw conversion (was Undersharpening)
> btw, how many of you use linux for graphic manipulation issues? Some of the time, for most of my personal work. I use Linux at home all the time unless I need a particular non-linux program. For pro pre-press use photoshop is still much better (even older versions) but Gimp is catching up quick. I've got a great new mac G4 with PS7 at work which has pretty much stopped me using the older mac with PS5.5 that I have on loan from my mother for mac-compatible work-related use. I've also got PS3 for windoze running under WinMe and 3.11, and Gimp for windoze running under WinMe, but I haven't used either in at least a year since I only boot to windoze for games. DJE

I use the Gimp (www.gimp.org) for image manipulation, and X-Sane to do my scanning. I also use imagemagick (www.imagemagick.com) to batch resize my images. - Chris -- Chris Murray /"\ [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ / ASCII RIBBON CAMPAIGN http://apeman.org/ XAGAINST HTML MAIL Cell: 604.861.8307 / \/ Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.

This guy have done a good work. he says it works even in MS windows and Mac, but I haven't tried it (and I'm not going to do it). I've tried the linux version, as a plug-in for the GIMP (another great piece of free software, the GNU Image Manipulation Software www.gimp.org, all of you who think photoshop is a bit expensive can download and use it, it's free (both as freedom and free-beer) and it is for linux, windows, and some other UNIX-based system), and it works very well with canon eos300d raw files. btw, how many of you use linux for graphic manipulation issues? ciao Danilo.
