RAW converter for MFT? - goran h - 09-04-2012 Some months ago I bought a Pana with a couple of lenses as a second system for travels. I am quite pleased with the result from it, but borders could be a bit better (espcially Pana 14/2.5). A bit of resolution is lost by the the adjustment of distorsion. I have Lightroom as raw converter. Which raw converters do not automaticly adjust distorsion? Capture One seems to be an option but to a high price. Are there any others?

Even with small batches (about 10 images) it crashes. I personally use RT only for single special images because I like its ability for highlight recovery and the posibility to select different deconvolution/raw-conversion algorithms ... and that's where I would recommend RT without a doubt. For larger batches of images, I don't think RT is a good choice. Just my 2cts ... Rainer PS: For the original problem ... the conversion of images without auto-correctures applied to them ... shouldn't it be possible to switch these corrections off in Lightrooms preference-settings? (I don't use Lightroom often and I don't use the actual version, so I don't know ... but I would assume, there should be such a setting somewhere). RAW converter for MFT? - Guest - 09-05-2012 RawTherapee is not recommended for 32-bit systems. m43 corrections are completely silent in Lightroom & no chance of disabling them. Works same as camera Jpeg auto-correction. Worst thing is that build in distortion correction is not perfect & you may need to do it twice in some cases.

It seems to work quite well for my needs - just to use it occasionally when I don´t want correction of distorsion. I was surpriced how much that autocorrection can blur the image.

[/quote] Sadly, this doesn't exist in Lightroom and is very unlikely to happen. I vaguely recall reading that Adobe partnered with Oly & Pana to implement their autocorrection. The idea behind is that mainstream applications completely blackbox these to the end user, unaware of the technical tradeoffs being made to attain compactness. |
