![]() So with this step I save time (observation A.) Let's say that I will edit maybe 20 of 100. I don't care too much of the exposure here because there is a margin.ĭepending of the case, I will group photos here (in case that I want to apply the same SPP settings to all of them). With the jpegs, I select the photos that I want to edit. So, first I get the embeeded jpegs from the tool from Roland:Ģ. So, I try to solve the "slow" problems with my flow:ġ. My company give me two Photoshop licences, one for my office iMac and another for "private" use, but my MacBook with Photoshop is getting dust since more than one year.Īnyway, I think that all here can work for you. ![]() I want to explain my flow a bit, that it is similar to Kendall and others.Īt home I use only Linux. For Sigma RAW files though.I'm not so sure. For Bayer sensored cameras the ease of use offered by Aperture or LR completely eliminates any craving for secret sauce. However, I have always believed if a camera manufacturer has proprietary software that they have some "secret sauce" that only they can deliver. I think that Irident does a fine job, and will continue to do so, as does SPP. The differences between SPP and Irident, like the differences between LR and Aperture are mostly personal preference I believe. Although I get more "Keepers" this way the majority of images are still "OK but not special." Those I don't process. I'm much more deliberate with my Sigma camera, slower and better at composition. They're at a minimum quite enough to make decisions about the need to process the RAW files. I save the JPG's to Aperture, they're quite good actually. I personally find it easiest to shoot RAW + JPG. If either does, correctly, then it will be like found money.nice but don't plan on it. I wouldn't assume that either will ever convert your Sigma RAW files. LR which you mentioned and Aperture which I use are designed as Asset Managers that also develop RAW files, not the other way around. Try them each if you have the time, stick with SPP if you don't. SPP is free and Irident has a free trial that watermarks the image but doesn't expire. Incorporate the easiest for you to use into your present workflow as much as possible. With a foveon camera you'll need to learn a new RAW developer. I expect you'll receive several opinions. Why Pro Photo? Everything else I use I keep in sRGB. I like to use 16-bit because for some files I have to reduce exposure a lot to recover up to two stops of data or so, and when I bring back up the shadows that much I worry that I'd introduce a lot more banding if I started from an 8-bit file. I also may globally adjust noise reduction levels across the files too.Īfter I'm done editing, I batch-export all of the X3F files to 16-bit TIFF files, and load those into Aperture (or in your case Lightroom) using the ProPhoto colorspace. Each file I edit I save the X3F settings used into the file. Then I edit just the selected RAW files in SPP, mostly editing to recover highlights. I review all of the images from the JPG, selecting ones for further processing. ![]() What are some of the more experienced users workflows? Spill the beans. I would try it out for sure and see if you like the results. Irident is great for faster processing, and for some images it may allow finer control of output. SPP may be a bit buggy but is also easy to use in batch mode - you can tell it to save a directory of images out to whatever format you want, also with a global preset applied. Is there a simple way to transfer files between ID and LR? Is 16 Tiff the only way to go? ![]() Is ID the way to go over SPP? I tried SPP out for the first time and found it a bit buggy. In the meantime I’m interested in developing a successful workflow employing these RAW developers. ![]() Obviously I’m aware that Adobe are yet to implement foveon based raw files, we live in hope.Īs someone else said, Adobe supports some older DP-1 models - I'm not sure if the DP-1x was supported though. I’m a brand new Sigma user - DP-1 as of yesterday.ĭo you mean the most current model, the Merrill? Or an older one? ![]()
