jonoslack Posted February 21, 2007 Share #1  Posted February 21, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) HI There I've been processing my DNG files in Aperture using Eoin's 'hack' for a week or two now, Today the real problem (for me) arrived - evening light - we all love it, but in my experience RAW processors are particularly bad at dealing with it - poor greens, too much red - generally nasty - both C1 and ACR have disappointed me here.  This evening was a double whammy - my local farmer had redeployed his scarecrows - I'd thought that he'd given up. Anyway, here are some samples - the less obvious saturation of Aperture is a real help here, and I think these have come out okay:  Pre Asph 21mm elmarit  Pre Asph 21mm elmarit  CV 15mm  Tri-Elmar at 50mm  The first shot shows some IR pollution in the colour of the scarecrows outfit - but I'm not sure that using an IR filter and having to deal with the cyan drift at 21mm will be a decent trade off - but my filters haven't arrived yet, so who is to tell!  But I'm pleased, and I think there would be few who would complain that these are under-saturated.

Guest guy_mancuso Posted February 21, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted February 21, 2007 Jono you could bump them up a little with saturation it would not hurt them, that is my feeling a little vibrance would help . Â This maybe a lot but it is kind of cool. But I like punch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchell Posted February 21, 2007 Share #7 Â Posted February 21, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) What's NTSC? Â I liked the CV shot alot. Makes me think I ought to get an extreme wide. I've never had one. Â It's fun to see the two philosphies working on the same picture. I think I'm somewhere in between. Â Best, Â Mitchell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LichMD Posted February 22, 2007 Share #10 Â Posted February 22, 2007 Jono, Â Very nice indeed. I agree with Guy on my monitor they looked a little washed. But beautiful captures nonetheless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonoslack Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share #11  Posted February 22, 2007 Jono, Very nice indeed. I agree with Guy on my monitor they looked a little washed. But beautiful captures nonetheless.  Hi there Are you using a PC? It's one of the problems posting pictures - we all may be properly calibrated, but it depends very much on the brightness and contrast of your monitor.  I'm looking at these using Safari on a Mac - mine seem almost outrageously saturated, and as for Guy's !!!!  But thank you for the kind comments.

Guest guy_mancuso Posted February 22, 2007 Share #16 Â Posted February 22, 2007 Safari a little more contrast about 10 percent. Make that about 20 percent , In safari it is darker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
