Where saving/exporting as TIFF would sometimes be painfully slow, it's now consistently painful.

Doing File -> Save As and setting it to TIFF forces me to reset my color profile each time intstead of remembering that I always want to use Adobe RGB.

Perhaps because all my files are mounted via NFS (I can't imagine them shipping something that never worked - too much thought has gone into this product). I was sooo looking forward to this, but it doesn't like me.

In the browser, the "rename" option always errors out.

I find myself using the Esc key a lot to back out of these things. while switching focus) will start drawing a region.

It defaults to having you in some sort of region drawing mode, so any random click (e.g.

Plus, I have to wait for it to be applied after opening a RAW file before I can remove it. There is no way to set a preference for removing it, and applying a template is additive so it won't remove things that are already present. For some reason I didn't notice this on the old version. I find myself removing it on most images.

The "Raw Tone Curve" applied to RAW files by default is much more punchy than I'd like - I really prefer to start with a very flat image and control everything myself.

The new Color Balance tool will not let me type in RGB values, and the little color wheel is not precise enough to use reliably (it's fine if you're just feeling for things, but if you want to have a reproduceable effect it won't do it).

I had been using a Channel Mixer followed by a Color Balance to first convert to black and white and then tone the resulting image.

So far (I've now used 2.0.0, 2.0.1 and 2.0.2) I've run into the following unpleasantnesses: Pentax K7 with BG-4 Grip / Samyang 14mm f2.8 ED AS IF UMC / DA18-55mm f3.5-5.6 AL WR / SMC A28mm f2.8 / D FA 28-105mm / SMC F35-70 f3.5-4.5 / SMC A50mm f1.7 / Tamron AF70-300mm f4-5.6 Di LD macro / SMC M75-150mm f4.0 / Tamron Adaptall (CT-135) 135mm f2.I wish the rest of the switch was as pleasant.

My Guides to the Pentax Digital Camera Flash Lighting System : Download here from the PentaxForums Homepage Article. For this reason I start out in PDCU and output a 16bit TIFF, which can then be opened into other editors, including Lightzone if needed. Initial RAW development options are very limited. The headline feature is the 'Zones' method of controlling brightness and contrast - a sort of Ansell Adams style division of brightness bands over the image - its a very different way of working on a digital file (no levels or curves here!), but in practice I have not found it as intuituve or controllable as alternative approaches in other programmes. White balance is controlled using a very flexible colour wheel (similar to PDCUs 'Fine Colour' control). And the program uses a completely different method of selection, with a range of shapes that are pulled into place to select different areas - quick and useful sometimes, not flexible enough for other things. The shadow boosting and highlight reduction offered on the Relight panel is also very quick and effective. This is a type of sharpening, but easily and quickly applied and very effective, at least on my landscapes.

Like most software I use, I pick out the bits that offer something different or a better way of achieving a particular result, and for me in Lightzone the standout feature is the detailing options provided on the 'Relight' panel. I've also made use of Lightzone within my workflow for quite a while.

I think it says on the site that the Linux and Mac builds will be ready shortly and I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

At least, You don't seem to have to use the profile as a custom style any more which is what you had to do with v3.9.Īlexfoto, I believe that the only open source version released so far is the Windows version because that went through beta testing first. As far as I can tell that, and all the other custom profiles produced over the last year or so, have been incorporated into this v4.0 build.

I was the person who built that profile, as it happens, after a long discussion on how to with Doug Pardee so hope it works for you. I'm not really a Windows user and, as yet, the Windows version is the only one released as open source but have tried it on a Windows Vista machine and it appears to work very well if anything, faster than version 3.9.Īlgi, you mentioned the K5 raw profile on the site. I know that it's taken a considerable amount of work by a lot of people to get here so hats off to them. Being a long-time Lightzone user, I'm really pleased that the project has managed to get to this stage.
