Re: RAW converter of choice

There's also a free limited version with no time restriction, but it's a bit too limited - only allows saving in jpg mode. The free version of the earlier Version 2 of Silkypix allowed saving in tif, which is why I'm using it for the time being. Cheers Brian

It's partly the result of not having control over where it goes from me. The collector magazines are low buck affairs that really just wing it. I don't know of one that has an accuracy based production system. On the other hand, in my real life I work on an ad account that bills about 150 m

I've shot a number of cars for magazines that feature restorations. I have to get the original paint color right. I find that a white card helps but my eye is better. Paul On Jan 7, 2007, at 5:59 PM, Digital Image Studio wrote: > On 08/01/07, Paul Stenquist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> I too

I too prefer to work the files according to taste rather than any predetermined calibrations. Sometimes I want a warm look, sometimes I want a cold look. But I always want to determine what the shot will look like when converted. The default calibrations are a good enough starting point. In

Did you try Bible ? BTW I think most RAW converter do not have a final version supporting K10D so maybe it is a bit early to make a final judgement? Of course in the meantime... we still have to find a soft which suits us. -- Thibault Massart aka Thibouille -- *ist-D,Z1,Super

RAW converter of choice

At the end of some testing, my new RAW converter of choice for the K10D is Silkypix. This is because: Adobe Bridge/Photoshop CS2/ACR (call it at your leisure) is not up to my expectations for a good conversion. Too much grain effect at any speed, especially on a smooth sky, and too much
