troyfreund Posted April 27, 2009 Share #1 Posted April 27, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hey Folks, Do you have any suggestions for the time and place for using the Moire filter on the DMR? I've been photographing a lot of guys in suits lately and have been having it turn up on some of my files. How best do you deal with moire patterns?

Advertisement Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 Hi troyfreund, Take a look here DMR: Moire Filter?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Overgaard Posted April 27, 2009 Share #2 Posted April 27, 2009 Completely forgot there even was one. I've tried the Hasselblad Phocus software which has a moiré filter in it. To use Phocus one need to get the FlexColor 4.8.6 software from Hasselblad's website and import the DNG file from the DMR. The FlexColor then create a .fff file which the Phocus can open. The Phocus does not support DMR files directly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsteve Posted April 28, 2009 Share #3 Posted April 28, 2009 Troy: The moire filter on the DMR only works when shooting jpegs. It is not enabled when shooting DNG. As for dealing with moire, I would suggest Capture One. It has adjustments for type and amount of moire that seem to work well enough. Robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmoore Posted April 28, 2009 Share #4 Posted April 28, 2009 regarding the dng of the dmr.. has anyone noticed the difference of noise by using say ACR vs flexcolor.. I prefer the workflow on bridge but read on another forum about the hasselblad files gain noise when converted to dng vs staying in their native fff via flexcolor/phocus.. was curious if this applied to the dmr.

I prefer the workflow on bridge but read on another forum about the hasselblad files gain noise when converted to dng vs staying in their native fff via flexcolor/phocus.. was curious if this applied to the dmr. I believe the DMR files are NOT natively fff. They are natively DNG, so I don't think the problem you've read about would apply. The Bridge workflow is convenient, but for really important shots some prefer the FlexColor conversion as the consensus seems to be that the Imacon algorithms give more accurate color and ever so slightly more detail. Please someone chime in here and add your own experience -- or correct me if I'm handing out misinformation (perish the thought). Brent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyfreund Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share #7 Posted April 29, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) DMR RAW files are DNG files, NOT fff. I"ve been using Capture for my conversions and have been pretty satisfied wit the results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brent The DNG file is converted within flexcolor to a fff fle which can then be read by Phocus. Flexcolor is not a particularly intuitive or fast piece of software but if you need accurate colours,,,particularly reds then there is no better converter for DMR DNG's. Having said that I nearly always used C1....it is more than good enough for 95% of my work and batch processing is a dream. If accurate colours of dresses or flowers in particular are vital then I would put up with the slower and more ponderous Flexcolor program. It is all very personal really just like developers were in the bad old days of film!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsteve Posted April 30, 2009 Share #9 Posted April 30, 2009 I have the same opinion that Flexcolor has the best colour. As of about version 4.6, Capture one now has more detail. Capture One changed something in the conversion and sharpening algorithms that just make the DMR files sing. Robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert I mgith have asked onece before, but I wasn't aware the Capture One had been (significantly) updated. But eh question is, which profile you use in Capture One. Default or any special profile and/or treatment. It really annoys me that so many DMR users say they prefer Capture One for Lightroom and Aperture when I prefer Lightroom I fear I'm missing out on something...

mgcd Posted April 30, 2009 Share #11 Posted April 30, 2009 C1 is without question the best one for DMR files. I just use the standard R8 profile. Cheers, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
