Hi X1 users,

 

So far, I have gathered the following raw processing settings and would like to collate them in this thread for easy reference for fellow users:-

 

In LR/ACR:

 

Brightness: +30 (instead of +50 default)

Manual lens correction: -20 Fix red/cyan fringe + defringe highlight edges

Camera profile: Embedded

Sharpening: 0 in LR/ACR

 

Open in PS for sharpening:

 

Unsharp mask: Amount 100%, Radius 1, Threshold 0

 

Does anyone have anything extra to add? Various vibrance, satuaration settings, etc???

 

Cheers.

I do bum up vibrancy and clarity by 15 too (or more if required) and reduce saturation by some amounts depending.

 

BTW, did you upgrade to LR3 from the free copy with the X1? I havent done tat yet. Is LR3 substantially better and in what way?

Yes, LR3 is substantially better than the previous version. A must upgrade imo.

 

After some 10 years intensive use of photoshop, I didn't even install it anymore when I moved to a new PC. Lightroom 3 covers 95% of my needs. Very good.

I just bought Nik's complete suite a month ago, any incompatibility with LR3? Thats a big concern since now I am finding Nik's easy to use. How much for the LR3 upgrade and is the free copy of LR2 with the X1 good for the upgrade? Thanks!

I'm not sure about the upgrade from LR2 to LR3 with the voucher that comes with the X1. I upgraded to LR3 before I bought the X1.

 

From what I see & tried myself and what I read in various reviews around the web, LR3/ACR6 is the current benchmark RAW converter. Next to this I really love the 'all in one program' capabilities from LR. Extensive image management, editing, presentation through slideshows and webgalleries, export, it's all there.

And most important of all, the non-destructive editing. No matter what you do with you images, the original source files always remain untouched. Love it.

If you used the free SN for LR2 from Leica, normal upgrade prices apply to go to LR3

 

Yes, I can confirm it. Last week I bought LR3 upgrade and all I needed to do was install it and add LR3 serial number ( came with the purchse of course) and LR2 serial number (I got it from Leica). I did not even needex to have LR2 installed in the computer to do the upgrade. Since I am/was an Aperture 3 user, I did not installed LR2 when I got my X1, so I went straight to LR3.
