Jack OBrien Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #1 · NC, ACR 3.2, D2X comparisons Just to see how close ACR 3.2 is when it comes to reading the correct WB in D2X nefs, I did this funky little test. ACR is real close but it does not read the exact WB as recorded by the camera. All the NC conversions are correct, or at least if your camera was set to 5000k, that's how the raw file is converted. Anyhoo, here goes, I think it's pretty much self explanatory. side note: All ACR conversions were batched within ACR, with ALL auto features turned off. NO image adjustments have been made. All NC conversions were batched out with NO adjustments to the raw file either. Also, the NC images are on the right, and the kelvin temps matched what the camera was set to. At least ACR is not all over the place when it comes to reading WB. It would be nice for it to be exact though. Jack Edited on Sep 30, 2005 at 05:37 AM Sep 28, 2005 at 04:30 PM

I think the eye is draw toward the brighter image, but not nessarily the correct one. I agree with both of you, but I gave up on technically correct the first time I put Velvia in a camera. I go for pleasing colors because unless you are doing catalog work it is what people go for, regardless of what they say they want. There is a warmth to the greens in ACR that I like and oddly it is closer to my perception of the Nikon digital colors that I am coveting so much right now.

Mert Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #6 · NC, ACR 3.2, D2X comparisons Thank's for the igret info Btw: ACR still messes up my long exposure shot's. Edited on Sep 30, 2005 at 05:37 AM Sep 28, 2005 at 10:19 PM

jmcfadden Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #7 · NC, ACR 3.2, D2X comparisons good work Jack , at least it is miles ahead of where it was and may even be a useful tool now J Edited on Sep 30, 2005 at 05:37 AM Sep 28, 2005 at 10:31 PM

You're welcome Mert I can't get ACR to work with my in-camera merges, it doesn't recognise in-camera NR either. I really like the high ISO output of NC, it's very good. Speaking of long exposures, you've done some of the best I've ever seen! Jack Edited on Sep 30, 2005 at 05:37 AM Sep 29, 2005 at 01:41 AM

It is miles ahead of where it was, but I sure wish it could interpret all the other camera settings like NC can. It would then be a dream Edited on Sep 30, 2005 at 05:37 AM Sep 29, 2005 at 01:42 AM

If you want to see what Thomas Knoll (author of ACR) has to say about the reported temperature differences between ACR and NC, you can see this thread over in the Adobe Forums on the same topic. --John Edited on Sep 30, 2005 at 05:37 AM Sep 29, 2005 at 03:13 AM

glowrider Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #11 · NC, ACR 3.2, D2X comparisons I'm also a fan of the ACR renditions. It is way more convenient for me to use ACR as well since NC is sooooooo slow comparitively speaking Sep 30, 2005 at 05:37 AM
