Re: Fun with the A7/7R
The yellow/orange haloes around the letters in the LR5.3RC conversion show that Adobe still has a good amount of work to do. I've found similar artifacts with some of my images (see 100% crop of image 'Boats on the Beach' posted a week ago). I very much like the rendering you achieved with IDC. To me, it looks realistic, very detailed and three-dimensional - exactly what you'd expect from a 36MP image taken with good glass. C1P and LR5.3RC look like mush in comparison. Which lens did you use and at what aperture?
Thanks for adding this info - it was a bit of a mystery at first…Just a sample comparison (from the same raw file) of Sony Image Data Converter vs Capture 1 (adobe DNG converted) vs Ligthroom 5.3 RC
