Re: Still no love for the Ricoh GXR?


Kit, although there is a batch method of working with RPP I haven\'t use it because I\'m not in a \"production situation, but you may wish to have a look at that. What I do is very simple, I:

—copy the name of the file from the Metadata tab in Aperture (i.e. the original number of the DNG file),
—open the file in RPP by pasting in that file number,
—when saving the file in RPP add to the original file number \"-RRP-K64-opt\",
—import the saved file from RPP into Aperture, and
—\"Stack\" the imported RPP TIFF with the original DNG file.

After I do the last step in Aperture, I can see which file is which because, if the name of the original file (\"Version\" in Aperture) is \"_0012837\", the name of the file (Version) imported from RPP will be \"_0012837-RPP-K64-opt\", which tells me it that came from RPP, that I used the K64 film preset and that I saved it using the option of \"Optimize the image for post-processinf on Save\".

BTW, I tried the latest version on Lightroom recently and found that, while it produces somewhat better colors than Aperture — but not as good a RPP and without the improved resolution — ultimately I had the same feeling as I had when I first tried it a few years ago, preferring the user interface of Aperture: indeed, I find the Lightroom controls, on Curves for example, to be fiddly in comparison.
