Kodachrome


Recommended Posts

CCD is a tad more sharp then CMOS in base ISO and the colors can be replicated in chip design or in import presets to near kodachrome colors. I guess the advantage of CCD in colors are non existant.

 

The ISO preformance of CMOS, less battery drainage and live view. How is CMOS not a better advantage over CCD?

Leica is an exception--by using a DNG their format is anything but proprietary, and I have to believe they've talked with Adobe on the M9 and S2 support.

 

That I still prefer C1's approach to Leica files might be, I suppose, a result of Phase's experience with Kodak sensors... but it's true that LR / ACR takes its own approach to colour, contrast and blackpoint compared with other converters.

 

Not much talk about Aperture. I start by undoing the default settings and then working towards what I find in the image. So I feel like I start with the raw data and work from there.

Yeah, I have no idea, really, what working with Aperture is all about. The output from early versions of Aperture was simply disappointing in terms of detail and colour... so I never went there.

 

It's all about time, you know :)

 

You can always explore every image with a raw converter and get what you need; the logical extension of that is going into Photoshop and from there you can absolutely do a ton of things, of course.

 

In that sense, the sensor / filter / camera system really doesn't matter that much by way of absolutely advantages, its true. I can get, in terms of colour values, what I want from an iPhone.

 

But--and this is a big but--it takes too long to do that when working with a lot of files (and I'm not pretending an iPhone has the other characteristics I want).

 

This is the same for other cameras/ converter systems, so compared with the M9 (DMR/S2) it just takes longer for me to get what I want (especially with skin) with, say, Nikon-Sony produced sensor / cameras.

Apart from the sensor, the color rendition also depends on the raw developer used. In my view, Raw Photo Processor (RPP – Mac only) gives the most film-like look. Using the K64 preset in RPP gives the look that is the most reminiscent of Kodachrome, in addition to producing the best resolution of any raw processor that I have used. I started a thread in this forum, which you can read by clicking here.
