Special purpose software such as Dave Coffin's dcraw has proven useful to me, mostly because it is barebones.If you like one, become a guru and a fan and feed the community. Open Source RAW processors such a RawTherapee offer amazing scope and depth and are worth exploring.Other commercial products such as DxO and Capture One have their fans, their strengths and their price points.Try their product(s) and if you like it buy it. I use Lightroom almost exclusively for RAW processing because of the excellence of the product and its Develop module's tidy integration with Lightroom's other features.I love its raster editor, but I have found the Develop Persona to be one of the less capable parts of that product. I am an Infinity Photo user, but don't use its RAW processor.The Pentax DCU would be the 1st-party processor for your camera. Like, get Lightroom.įor those that use processing software that have in built RAW processors like Affinity or Photoshop - do you find 3rd party RAW processors (ON1, RawTherapee, etc) more useful in your workflow? I currently process my raw files in Affinity Photo's Develop of those tools are technically 3rd-party. If the OP is still on an old version of PS, then my answer might be different. Assuming you are on the subscription plan for PS then you already have LR. My answer is still the same, just use Lightroom as your RAW processor and hand off to PS after that. Bulk editing in LR makes things go much faster and I can concentrate my extra time on the dozen images that will go into promotional pieces.īut your point is understood, the OP seems to be using PS for a RAW processor and wants to know if third party ones might be better / faster. I simply don't get paid enough to spend hours and hours working each image. There will be several parts to the deliverable such as wall interiors, a time lapse video of construction, detailed process photos, some puff pieces for the client and portfolio shots for the builder. I'm finishing up a real estate project right now that has about 2,500 images in it. I've worked hard to make my workflow as simple as possible because for many projects I need to deliver a lot of images fairly quickly. And if you started with PS before LR then maybe that works for you. To be honest I'm not sure why anyone would use Photoshop as a RAW processor instead of Lightroom but everyone has their own workflow. If I don't lower the blackpoint I see no results with the shadow slider.But depending on how you interpret the question the answer could be yes for youOk. P.S.>I am adding this edited remark: On the last photo if I lower the blackpoint then the shadow slider has some effect. Thanks, let me know if you have any problems with the downloads. It is not consistent, can't figure out why it works sometimes and not others. Just having a problem with the shadow slider. While editing the raw photo the exposure, blackpoint and brightness sliders all work with all pictures. Here's another that the shadow slider did not work, could not see any change in the surfer's wetsuit: I am editing this remark, I can now see a slight darkening when using the shadow slider in this pic now. In this picture I can see the change in the surfer's wetsuit: Here's a couple where the shadow slider worked:Ī sunset pic where I can see a change in the foreground using the shadow slider: They are all shot with the same camera, a Canon 7d.
I have found that it works on some photos, but not others.
