Shadow tint in Camera Calibration (ACR) goes haywire - one notch slider push/pull and it makes overall image look like Martian landscape from a bad sci-fi flick...
Dont touch that one.
Just those under, only color mixing..
HU3 isnt "editor" its just software for converting RAW..
You can obviously pick more files to convert, theres batch option too (just next ikon).
On right side it is possible to change camera parameters (you need first to set it to custom, not camera preferences). Top allows changing various "looks". Looks can be tweaked a bit too.
Not sure if it looks like this always, maybe I set it up when I installed it.
100% view is just by right clicking directly on image in preview window and selecting appropriate option (show in full scale) or navigator window on left side.
Clicking on convert will save it either in directory where is RAW file, or you can on upper right side specify directory yourself.
Thats it I guess? (histogram is on left side, under navigator). Sensitization means exposure (thats in customization menu). Hope it helps.

Mescalamba: It did help indeed. The utility is incredibly slow though....
Ed: I can see a strange 4 colour flag in the bottom left corner...are you sure it's not a virus of some sort?..

Yes it is slow, probably platform independent.. I dont use it, just for testing.

Still wish to free up time for watching Digital Tutors..
I remember my friend working with Softimage - he hated WinNT's guts to the extent of smashing a keyboard a day..but kept fighting on..hahaha
I guess you of all people understand my ramblings about volumetric lighting..
Sorry, haven't heard about iRay, but sounds interesting...

iray (the renderer, a photoreal path tracer) was renamed Iray Photoreal, and the framework around it, neuray, was renamed Iray, so things are a bit confused at the moment, but it is a really nice renderer. I am writing a product named iview which is the Iray viewer, an integration of Iray, and a demo program for our technology.
I just checked in a new camera management system today

Thanks! The lens used here was the Nikkor 35mm f/1.8.

I used to like playing games.. that and I think even my old X58 based PC would be bit expensive to replace with Apple. Will try to convert it to hackintosh one day probably.. just dont have spare SSD right now. Virtual Mac does some job, but its not capable of 3D needed for Aperture.
Btw. Aperture is rather good, have you tried it with S5 Pro? Would be really curious as its one of few I didnt test.

Hyper Utility is worst on the Mac as Fujifilm never compiled the code for the Intel processor. Amazingly stupid move by Fujifilm.

The Fujifilm SLR's are amazing in this day in age in that very very very few people print images at all anymore. And that those that are printed, very few of them are considered large. Given that, the resolution of the SuperCCD SR II sensor is actually more than adequate allowing for the superior dynamic range and incredible colors to take center stage.
The only down side is that you still have those massive size RAW files. What is in that data that takes up so much space if not resolution?

That is a really interesting point, I always liked Aperture colours better, but moved to LR4 due to lack of action on Apple's part. I should try it.
My dilemma for today is whether to pack my S5 and a Zeiss lens, or leave the space in my bag for bringing the DMR home for the weekend...

I really wish Apple would make Aperture industry leading again. A damn shame how they let that program languish.

Well, if I could have DMR to play with, I would forget I have S5.

The DMR is the Digital Modul R. This was the first and only digital back that replaced the film back covers of the Leica R8 and R9 cameras. When attached it replaced the film back cover of the cameras. This turned R8 and R9 Leicas (the only film SLR cameras) into a 10 MP digital camera;this was something that neither Nikon or Canon thought was possible or even attempted to create. It was discontinued when Leica discontinued the Leica R system.

Leica DMR, is digital back for Leica R8 and Leica R9 SLRs. Its 10 mpix, APS-H (1.33x), 16-bit digital back, without low-pass (AA) filter. Very similar in some aspects to medium format backs. Its sharp, has great colors and its quite easy to PP. It was developed together with Imacon. Their software supports it (one of few that can correctly process DMR files). Tho its usable with almost every RAW developing program.
It costs second-hand about same as new Canon 6D. And thats DMR only.
