processing

One of the things I have run into using somewhat less popular cameras (Ricoh, Pentax, Panasonic) is the lack of closely matching profiles when importing RAWs into software, be it Lightroom or DXO PhotoLab. It's evident when first importing a file, when it shifts to a rather ugly and flat file...

Just wanted to throw this out there and request an opinion from the group here. First - you cannot hurt my feelings. It is impossible to do. Second - I'll still do what I want that makes me happy. While I value the opinions I have and will get - I use them to help guide future decisions - I...

This thread was started with the purpose of posting two copies of the same image. One with traditional processing and one with "enhanced" or "AI" processing. I started it to observe the difference once an image is posted and viewed on different devices. Others are certainly welcome to do the...

This is cross posted from "m43s Talk" which I recently joined after the DPR announcement. I'd like a wider demographic than just m43s users, I think. I have long been a strong advocate of ACDSee. And I still am, sort of. I think it still has the fastest, most complete DAM on the market. But, I...

Just bought my wife a Pixel 6a phone. From all reports they output reasonably good pics, albeit heavily worked over in phone. It seems it is also possible to export photos as DNG files. I'm wondering if the DNG file is going to be minus all the in-phone tuning and whether it would be simpler to...

I have a nice Canon EOS650 fitted with a 35 -80mm zoom. It takes really nice images. I do the processing myself and then scan them at 4800dpi using my Canon 3000f flatbed scanner. I have just processed two rolls of film and are very disappointed. This one of my previous images take a few weeks...

Hi as I have a good tax rebate I decided to update my M5 Mk2 to the Mk3 as people are telling me it's a good upgrade. I didn't think to check about software however, and as I use a standalone version of Lightroom 6.14, it seems the RAW files aren't supported. I'm aware there's a free...

This thread could be something to while away the boredom of lockdown. Post your experimental results - visionary, inventive, illusory or even whimsical.....

While cleaning out a cabinet during this stay home stay safe period, I found this roll of unprocessed film. I think the local CVS or Walgreens will send it out to be processed, but I read that they no longer return the negatives. Just prints and scans! Does anyone know if this is true...

Every now and again, I’ll just go off the deep end on a portrait and just let myself go crazy with the post processing. this started out as an iPhone11 portrait mode shot and found its way through Snapseed, Hipstamatic Tintype. just experimenting and having fun. original image: processed...

Shot this today at Peebles Island: crow waaaaaay up in a tree and heavily backlit. So I ran it through DXO 11's backlighting correction: then sky enhancement from Luminar 3: I think I like the result. Cheers, Jock

I'm a newcomer to Leica Place, and a returner after many years to shooting b&w with my Leica M3. I want to send/take my films (Ilford XP2) off for processing (C41) & scanning to cd, but it seems after some googling that this is going to cost the best part of £20 per roll, which simply doesn't...
