GF1 Raw Converters

[toddbee]

I was wondering what most are using for this. It seems like CS4 will correct the geometry of the lense in the raw conversions while capture one will not. Wondering what others are using for these wonderful raw files.
thanks

Lightroom 3 Beta, for now. Big improvement over LR2 for chroma noise reduction...

I use Lightroom 2.6 for my current work. I occasionally add some to my LR 3.0 beta library, but know that it might not port over when the final version comes out--plus my print module does not function in LR3.0 beta.

I've used LR since 1.0 beta and it does well for my workflow. I did not upgrade to PSCS4 this time--as I have since I started with PS3 (not PSCS3 LOL) becaue LR is now so capable and flexible. From LR 2.6 I can do round trips to CS3 without any issue for further processing--if needed (I do frame my online gallery with an action of mine in PS). I may--or may not buy PSCS5 but plan on upgrading my LR to 3.0 when the final version is available.

Lightroom 2.6.

I will upgrade to Lightroom 3 when it ships (and upgrade my computer system at the same time, that's going to be an expensive month!).

I'm using C1 and loving it!

 

[toddbee]

Thanks jack. do you know if C1 does the geometry correction?

 

[Jack]

Yes and no. It doesn't have any for the Panny pre-built in the database, but it does allow you to create your own corrections manually and save them as presets. You can save distortion, sharpness falloff and light falloff settings with a distinct name, like "Panny 14-45 at 30mm".

Good ol' CS4 and Adobe Raw Converter.

I think C1 makes better JPGs than the original software supplied by Panasonic.
