RAW editor options?
-
Surprisingly enough I noticed that different camera profiles deal much better with skin highlights then others.
I used LR3 but I found it slower then the previous version :shock: . The sharpening is a disaster. Anyway. I like to do my capture sharpening in NX then output one in CS4 before printing.Always a topic with many opinions.
It depends on how much PP you want to do and how you like your colours.
I use Nikon D3 and Fuji S5.
I use LR for the majority of my work, speed, easy to calibrate colours and very close to best quality, so close that on a 10×8 print, there are no detail or noise differences.
NX2 – Uses the camera settings (which I don’t like, it also sets the black point too high and difficult to calibrate accurate colour), much slower in use than LR and no good for weddings with a 1000 shots (IMO). I can process a wedding in about 1.5-3 hours in LR.
For ultimate quality:
On a Mac- RPP, on a PC RAwtherapee (or similar), followed by PS (usually in Lab mode), this gives the ultimate but requires some effort.For someone just starting with Raw. DxO and Phase1 give the best out of the box interpretations that I’ve seen, but once calibrated LR looks very similar. The new LR3 has better noise control, if only they’d bring in lens distortion corrections automatically, it would be the dog’s whotsits. NX auto-corrects for CA (great feature) and has Viveza built in.

i use adobe bridge to view the raw files and than photoshop to edit. why? it works for me. i find it easy to look at/rate/organize images in bridge and than easily edit with PS.
