Well said.I'm of the school that says "the tools you know best will return the best results". I standardized on Lightroom when it came out after evaluating all the available RAW processors. I like it most, and I get the results I want out of it. I never switch image processing tools unless there is a serious need.
Consistency and familiarity gives the greatest ability to exploit a given tool.

Well said.
I've been using Lightroom since version 1 was released and I feel really comfortable with it. What I've started doing recently is going back over some online training and a couple of the Lightroom books to see if there are any tricks or small nuances that I missed in the initial learning phase. Version 2 with the local adjustments has so much more than the original and I can't wait to see what is next in version 3 (no idea when that will be).
Very true.That goes for cameras too
Unfortunately, consistency and familiarity won't help when your raw converter doesn't support your latest camera
Here's the post with image samples - it looks like Adobe still have some work to do... as have all the major raw converters to automatically compensate for m4/3rds lens distortion.i played again with ACR and it is not that bad. although for higher iso i wouldn't like to use it, because the noise is very irregular.
but i discovered another problem. i already saw it with capture one. as you say it doesn't officially support G1 raws, but inofficially it does. because the G1 seems to have exactly the same RAW-format as the LX3 (and D-Lux 4). so if you patch the header of your G1 raws and change them to D-Lux 4 files, capture one opens them if they were normal leica files.
unfortunately the way the lens-distortion correction is implemented is a bit "weak". i don't know if panasonic really thought about what they were doing. but i get much better results if i use an uncorrected raw and correct it with ptlens, than the automatically corrected ACR or C1 raws. today i discovered that ACR is doing exactly the same thing as C1. the distortion correction is not evenly performed over the whole image, but rather concentric areas of the image are stretched. this results in quite inconsistent sharpness, especially if you try to enhance pixel sharpness.
Time doesn't flow on the internet. Moments can be connected in any sequence.I'm not surprised Godfrey, my last post on the subject was back in August last year! hope you had a nice Christmas
Wow! I'm 28 againTime doesn't flow on the internet. Moments can be connected in any sequence.
And my mom is 29 again ...Wow! I'm 28 again
whopeeeeee:thumbs:
Hasn't that already happened? (becoming digital I mean )I think I want to become digital in my old age. ;-)
