Have you seen a slight reddish tint with your DP1 photos? I was able to get some shots off only in the late afternoon (the camera just arrived). I'm hoping the reddish tint is a result of the late hour and not a defective camera.Incredible detail and sharpness at 100% crop, extremely wide dynamic range (almost no blown highlights in one week of shooting in bright daylight), and beautiful colors that contribute to a much more film-like look.
Maggie,Can DP-1 files only be processed with Sigma software? No Aperture, no Lightroom, no ACR, etc...?
More succinctly, and to answer my question; "yes."Maggie,
It usually takes a few months for the software companies to add a new RAW format. Each camera's RAW format is different enough that support has to be added for each camera. The DP1 format isn't quite the same as the SD14. And the Canon 40D format isn't quite the same as the previous 30D. There always seems to be a lag.
Adobe's DNG RAW format was an attempt to have a common, open standard. Without a standard like DNG, there's a chance some RAW formats may not be supported in the future. That could be a concern for a camera that doesn't sell well or a manufacturer that goes out of business.
No apologies needed. I should have remembered that most posters here -- including yourself -- would know this already. That's what I like about this place. I just have to remember not to fall into one-size-fits-all, generic talking mode.I can see where my imprecision of language would lead you to believe that I am an ignoramus. My apologies.
Though you wouldn't know it from the picture, he's a gentle little dog. Maybe he was tapping into his inner Rottweiler.David, that dog cracks me up. There's something kind of Stephen King about it. Cool shot.
Maggie,More succinctly, and to answer my question; "yes."
I'm aware of the time lag between camera introduction and the adoption of RAW files by software vendors. Perhaps I should have added a "yet" to the end of my original question, so you wouldn't have had to type the obvious. I can see where my imprecision of language would lead you to believe that I am an ignoramus. My apologies.
