... this seem to have a bit too much magenta for my taste,

Yup. Silkypix has a color modification wheel similar to the one in Capture One.

Meanwhile, more thanks for the pointer to the Beta of Adober DNG Converter. It works on the .rw2 files and also on raw files for the Canon EOS RP if that interests you. Raw Therapee does all its magic on them.

Temporary solution for some newly released cameras:
A beta release of version 11.2.1 DNG Converter has been made available. It now enables the conversion of raws (.rw2) to DNGs for Lumix S1 and Lumix S1R.   https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/dng-converter-11-2-1-beta-released-for-interim-new-camera-support

Wow ! What a difference !

The converted DNG's in LR look tremendous...... the colour palette looks 100% Leica to me .....

A couple of other observations:

  • Unlike the SL, The S1R has no built-in GPS, although there may be some way of getting GPS tags onto your pics through the phone app
  • The M lens data is not captured by the S1R, which means that you need to apply lens corrections manually, afterwards in Lightroom

Always on, GPS, tends to be a power hog.  Perhaps that is the reason for its omission.

Not as big a power hog as keeping the wifi on full blast.  I think Leica Fotos is trying to handle this by using BlueTooth to keep the phone and the camera synchronized, and wifi for uploading images.  The Q2 is probably the first camera with which we will see this.  You can set an M10-D to get its date and time information from the phone (over wifi),  but I don't think they do this for other cameras yet.  In some future world we will offload time and location tasks to our phones, which of course will always be with us, and cameras will be one of the devices that take advantage.  For the M10-D of a traveller that crosses timezones, this is already an advantage.

So keeping Bluetooth on on your phone will also drain phone's battery.  Do you really want to hammer your phone battery and run out of juice when you may actually need to use phone, maybe to display your boarding pass or other ticket, or perhaps call emergency number?

It seems to me designers of modern gadgets never venture far away from power mains socket.

My phone keeps Bluetooth on all day, in addition to telling the phone network where it can be reached every few minutes, and keeping track of its location.    My M10-D can only keep its wifi on for an hour.  I think the key to low power networking is smarter software, which has to be on both ends of each connection.  And the Bluetooth, because it has lower bandwidth, uses less power and perhaps costs less power to start and stop.

Edit:  a little Googling supports this.  Phone protocols (Bluetooth and cellular data) have low startup and connection maintenance power requirements.  But WiFi startup costs are high.  It takes as much power to start up a wifi link as to transmit data continuously for about 15 seconds, in one study.

With the exception of photojournalists, those who work in war zones and forensic investigators, I have yet to find a personal use for GPS enabled cameras, of which I own 3, and or geotagged images.  At the end of any shooting day, when I transfer my images from card to computer and catalogue same, I make a note of the shooting location and weather characteristics. Unless I am missing something crucial, I cannot see how the GPS coordinates would be of use.  Perhaps you can enlighten me.

Thanks for the high res image of your rural church (your test ground). It was very interesting to see the quality. Also the comparison with the uprezzed image. But this was mainly man made stuff and the altar cloth was in a parallel plane. So interpolation is relatively easy (linear). So I wonder if a picture containing fractal patterns would be a different challenge.

Is it possible to make a wish ? Could you take a high res photo of an old oak tree (or similar), now they are still bare, perfect for the experiment. It would be very interesting how the stitching works on natural (fractal) structures. And the branches would then extend in space (not just a single plane). And maybe chaemono could then do his trick again for comparison ...

And fry an egg on the MacBook while it is processing a single file.

I have a MacPro. If you describe what you did, (with ON1) then I could maybe run it there, to save your MacBook from getting too hot.  😅😓
