Shootist Posted June 12, 2009 Share #21 Posted June 12, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) When I use Aperture or ACR, the RAW settings are stored in a file attached to the RAW file (XMP I think). Is C1 the same or do I lose my RAW setting after export to TIFF/JPEG? In ACR the setting are actually stored in the original DNG file but they do not change the original data, they are just added to it, and can be deleted/changed/removed at any time leaving the original DNG as it came from the camera. In C1 V4+ everytime you open a folder with images in it C1 make 2 new sub-folders and store the changes in one of them. So if you go and delete these sub-folder you lose all the edits in the DNG. But if you have exported/processed that DNG to a TIFF all the edits made are included in the final output to a TIFF, otr to a JPEG. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Roberts Posted June 12, 2009 Share #24 Posted June 12, 2009 Just to be clear: C1 does nothing to the original DNG. C1 stores your development settings for each RAW file in a folder along with the RAW files. If you move RAWs (using move-to folder) in C1 then the settings go along with the RAWs. If you move the entire folder of RAW files (along with the C1 sub-folder) then the settings go along with the RAWs. If you delete the subfolder, and restart C1, all your changes will be lost, but of course you will still have your DNGs intact. ACR does the same thing essentially except it doesn't put its control files into a folder. In C1--you export to JPEG or TIFF. In C1 LE, you set the output you want and press process (or select a ton of thumbnails first for a batch process). In C1 Pro--you can export simultaneously to JPEGs and TIFFs in multiple different colour spaces and sizes. So if you want a JPEG at 72ppi in sRGB for the Web and a 16bit TIFF at full resolution for editing in Photoshop, then C1 gives you both outputs at once (and you can name them separately or drop them into separate folders automatically). You can print the output from C1 from any image printing application that uses profiles--Qimage or a RIP or anything else.... you don't need Photoshop at all (but of course Photoshop is a great program to use!).

Vertigo Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share #25 Posted June 12, 2009 Jamie thank you very much...i think i have finally grasped this in logical terms, its quite easy but actually doing it (a whole new software) was pretty daunting to say the least.. but in due time i will master this thanks you so much again eddy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
