Some G1 RAW captures

[Vivek]

Loaded Silkypix, did the processing there and exported the tiffs to PS to do resize and minor adjustments.

The camera was G1. ISO100, soft Dutch light (Delft), manually focused (won't mention the lens but think lux).

Very nice Vivek. 35 Lux with your new adapter? What is causing the weird posterization in the sky of the 3rd shot - just OOF rendering of some blown highlights?

Thanks, Carl. The skies look weird because of the me sliding the DR slide to +6 in silky pix (this was the first time I ever used that software).

Here is another test shot with the on board flash providing the bulk of the illumination.

I am looking into a 4/3rds system flash. I am guessing that they (Olympus) are compatible?

You need to be careful when using that DR slider, especially it seems with the G1 images. It really does strange things when it tries to recover highlights. I don't remember it doing this with the M8 files, but I'd have to go back and try it again to be sure. In any case, to recover highlights with G1 files, it's probably best to just save them as tiff's and then use Lightroom. I do like Silkypix, but I hope they do something to fix this in a future version.
