I have just started producing High Dynamic Range Images using Pohotomatix Pro. When I go to finished images directory in Qimage I get an out of memory error....
I thought I had a satisfactory workflow but after reading Bruce Fraser's Real World Image Sharpening book, I am not so sure. If there are any experts mentoring...
There's nothing "wrong" with that workflow other than you might be complicating things. For the people who go through all those steps, my usual advice is to...
... get ... 32 ... still ... I find the same problem trying to open Tiffs generated by Photomatix Pro with IrfanView. They open fine with Adobe CS2. Photomatix...
I want to ask why images edited in Nikon NX and Capture 1 look better than from Lightroom. My photo sales person tells me that there is a lot of proprietary...
I would like to comment on what you bring out, Rob. I can open my RAW images in PSCS2 and convert to a TIF and then open the same image in Capture one, and...
... Hah! This is a good example of a half-truth. Apparently Capture 1 saves *editing data* in a proprietary way, such that a Capture-1-edited image either...
This discussion is about NX, not Capture one, or even Capture 4. Different software. Tom Baker ... From: Chuck B To: qimage@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, May...
Not if your can opener doesn't fit the can. Nikon's got a different can/contents design. And I, to, see the better results from NX. Tom Baker ... From:...
... Converting raw images to tif or jpeg is relatively easy to do. But to do it well isn't easy. Look up "bayer filter" to see what the sensor is saving. For...
... Sorry - my mistake. All my references to Capture 1 should have said 'Nikon Capture NX'. ======== Chuck Bragg, Pacific Palisades, CA Membership, Newsletter,...
Nikon "knows" how its camera converts its sensor's RAW data into a JPG, so NX should be able to duplicate this using this proprietary information. Neither C1...
I think that PhaseOne and Nikon have a much better algorithms than Adobe LR at this point. So, I agree with you. ... Converting raw images to tif or jpeg is...
There was a message back in November 2006 about a Command Line interface to Qimage as well as Hot folders. Not sure of the protocols here about grave robbing...
Hello RobLee, ... Ahem, they do not look better per se, you just need less fiddling. But see below. ... Yup, that's true. Obviously it's only part of the...
Well, one thing comes to my mind and that is that Nikon encrypted their WB information in one of their digital cameras...the PROFESSIONAL D2X. Anyhow, it...
Check out this review from Ars Technica. The URL is for page 7, which compares RAW engines, including Capture 1 and LR. It's very interesting to see that no...
RAW conversion obviously has a lot of science in it but also has some art to it. A lot of these 3rd party RAW converters are favored because of the interface,...
Rob, How much time have you spent with each of these software packages? Sometimes it may be that what you are seeing is your ability to interface with the...
My results from NX are sharper images that require no further sharpening past the raw stage. BTW: The NX interface is not as nice - in most respects - as LR....
An abnormal end ocurred in qimage and now I get the above message shortly after logo appears. The Shift key does not seem to work - app does not start. I have...
Hello Tom, ... The interface was designed by engineers [bad enough] and then adapted by software developers who had to stay with that because the client ...
Well images coming from CaptureOne and NX are denser and as washed out. They just look better. LR is very good, but it would be even nicer if it had U-point...
If I were doing primarily color I might well opt for LR. But, most of the serious stuff I do is b&w, and NX is producing superior b&w for me. I might end up...
