raw converter - couplos - 08-30-2010 well, photozone has, or should I say today had a nice raw-converter test review, seems to me it's getting a bit out of date now, will there be some update of findings with the new versions, or is this review living a slow death... kr, couplos raw converter - Guest - 09-12-2010 I second that. Gordon raw converter - miro - 09-13-2010 Do you really need such technical review? The most photographic workshops, tutorial and lessons are done with Adobe ACR + Photoshop. The easy coupling ACR /e.g Photohop via Smart object/ can easily evaporate some advantages of different RAW converter. Greetings, Miro raw converter - Guest - 09-14-2010 Yes, such a review would be helpful for many people who do not use Adobe products, and do not want to use them for various reasons, like the cost and the learning curve. Even though I love to take photo's I do not have the talent, money or time for the solution you suggest. I for one do not shoot RAW very often. When I do, I would like to have a reasonably priced, or free, program that has a basic\simple work-flow for developing RAW files. I love side by side comparisons when making adjustments. So, bring on the reviews. Cheers Gord raw converter - anyscreenamewilldo - 09-14-2010 well the correct answer is C1 . . . but some might suggest i've been admiring the reflection in my monitor for too long <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> raw converter - Steinar1 - 10-17-2010 [quote name='millarg' timestamp='1284429443' post='2732'] Yes, such a review would be helpful for many people who do not use Adobe products, and do not want to use them for various reasons, like the cost and the learning curve.

It can convert other raw files than NEF files, so if you can get hold of the software, it does a super job!! Obviously Capture NX2 does it, but it is 125€ <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Kind regards Vieux Loup raw converter - Guest - 10-17-2010 [quote name='miro' timestamp='1284381432' post='2705'] Do you really need such technical review?

[/quote] In that other thread someone pointed out the obvious flaw of the ACR+Photoshop workflow: It is always a 2-step process, you cannot change, for example, white balance after editing your image in Photoshop. Besides that, there may be people that see RAW just as the digital negative and do not want to do anything beyond the conversion step, i.e., no per-pixel editing with Photoshop. These people might ask the question of Lightroom vs. Capture One. After all, there is still no need for a review, because the answer is clearly Capture One, as anyscreenamewilldo already said. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> raw converter - miro - 10-17-2010 Thomas, One of the strongest point in Photoshop is that ALLOWS changes in RAW conversion at any step of your workflow. It simply requires to click in ACR "OPEN as SMART OBJECT" Greetings, Miro raw converter - Guest - 10-18-2010 Oh, my fault then. Actually, I never photoshopped, just thought it was correct what the other guy was stating. Sorry, I really shouldn't talk about things I don't know. |
