Re: Third party K-1 pixel shift support

[Bruce Walker]

Time is worth something. That's what stops me from diddling with every
single piece of software that happens along, because to do it usefully
takes a lot of time. I'm always disappointed when something that looks
very promising turns out to have a fatal flaw such that all my
experimenting time was wasted.

Opportunity cost: time spent dinking with one package means I can't
spend time on something else that might have been more worthwhile.

It may have improved some since then. Wouldn't cost anything to try it.

I guess I shouldn't complain, the software was free, but I don't expect
people to use my software if it doesn't fulfill it's purpose for them, I
have the same expectation from other people's software.

Thanks for sharing that info, I'll probably give it a try. I 
experimented a little with RawTherapee a few years ago when toying with 
the idea of trying to setup a Linux based photo workflow, but did not 
get into it enough to form any opinion. The ability to have it auto 
select pixel shift method (motion corrected or not) sounds interesting. 
Silkypix allows you to manually select between the two or to disable it, 
but no auto correct.  When I do focus stacks there are occasional 
vibrations due to trucks passing etc. that may affect one or two images 
in the stack.It would be nice if the raw converter automatically 
detected those situations and adjusted them. As it is a just process all 
as motion corrected.

I really wish I could trust RawTherapee, I last used it when I first got 
my K20D and it would crash trying to render thumbnails from either DNG 
files generated by the camera or PEF files.  In fact it even crashed 
when trying to render DNG files generated by Adobe's DNG converter 
software that were originally from the K20D.   It took them so long to 
fix that issue, with no workaround on the horizon that I simply 
uninstalled the software and moved on.


The only other thing that I remember about it was that even rendering 
6MP files from the *ist-D and Ds cameras I was using were painfully slow 
compared to pretty much everything else, though IIRC the resulting 
images were nice.


I guess I shouldn't complain, the software was free, but I don't expect 
people to use my software if it doesn't fulfill it's purpose for them, I 
have the same expectation from other people's software.
