I again have worked with some files in the new Phocus beta. I emailed a response to Hasselblad as the standard import settings for the file kill my imbedded exposure values from the Hasselblad. It is almost as if they are trying to mimic the older 3F scanner setting which spread the histogram, slammed it to the right which made for a very large capture but a flat contrast file that needed a lot of work to correct with curves. As the majority of the files out of the camera are pretty much on the money with regards to exposure this makes no sense to me.
The viewer window does not match the view one gets in the thumbnail window with regards to contrast or exposure. The thumbnails seem much closer to the correct values...this occurs even after you have corrected a file and saved those corrections....the thumbnail looks better than the viewer window.
I can attest to the success of the moire filter as it seems to clean up files nicely. However, until something major changes with the above the program is pretty much unusable for me at the present time...oh, and since I installed it Flexcolor 4.8.4 unexpectedly shuts down when one goes to save files at output...
Any thoughts or observations would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob Moore
