> Have you compared Capture One to these raw conversion programmes? I've not done it in any detailed way. The review was really written to show what DxO raw was like against ACR, which I still use a lot. Since ACR comes with Photoshop, I felt the comparison would be more meaningful to more readers. I'm looking to do a more direct comparison of converters with a few specific 'problem' images in the new year, but paid work keeps intruding on my spare time :-) I'm also aware of the manic zeal that some people attach to their favourite converters, so I'd want to do any comparisons -really- carefully ;-)
In 'real' work I've found that my choice between ACR and DxO depends on the type of image, the job (number of images) and final result (top notch print or small brochure pic). For example, one thing you do with ACR is to use Thomas Fors' excellent calibration script <http://fors.net/scripts/ACR-Calibrator/> One particular use of the DxO software that I've made, is the lens corrections, where I've corrected pics shot at 16mm before applying perspective transformations in PS... Of course I'd like to have used movements to do it properly, but I couldn't find a 16mm tilt/shift lens for my 1Ds ;-) There is a time limited demo of DxO available, so I'd certainly suggest having a go with it - if your lens/camera combination is supported. bye for now Keith Cooper Northlight Images http://www.northlight-images.co.uk Photography - Digital Imaging - Apple Mac Consultancy Tel +44 (0)116 291 9092 Mobile +44 (0)780 162 9397 =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
