You might check with DXO to see if there is a way to use the color checker passport profile in DXO.  I generally find that the DXO camera specific color profiles are better than those of Lightroom.

The DNG's produced by DXO are linear DNG's so the data has been demosaiced, but the color information is still in the camera's native color space as opposed to a TIFF where both white balance is...

The On One Suite does bring the ability to use layers within Lightroom for those who lack Photoshop.  It has a free trial so you can see for yourself if it is something you would like.

Clumsily worded, but what she seems to be trying to say is that the "pro level" of membership on Flikr has had nothing to do with whether a photographer makes a living from selling photographs...

I agree and I have already moved on.  I never really cared for lightroom as a raw converter but used it for convenience.  The current situation, however, was all I need to upgrade my DXO Optics Pro...

Because we assumed that the new features in CS6 would actually work.  Instead CS6 is much buggier than CS5 and it now looks like they are never going to get fixed.  Based on the track record I am...

There are advantages and disadvantages of both.  Cropping on the PC has the advantage of more flexibility in where to place the crop and you can still maintain a copy the original image.  The...

My guess is HDR-like processing for the details.  Then create a toned black and white to blend with the color image.

Your analysis is spot on.  While I could afford to use Adobe CC (at least at current prices) this whole episode made me realize my vulnerability and that Adobe is not to be trusted for something I...

I have had similar issues with CS6 crashing my computer. I do still have CS5 on my computer so perhaps I should regress as well.

I agree with your statement that it puts Adobe in a strong position with respect to their accolytes.  On the other hand, I think Scott Kelby and others are going to lose a lot in terms of...

Richard,           I definitely agree with you.  I think we are starting to realize that having one company so dominant in photo processing software has not been a healthy thing for digital...

If it's any consolation to you, none of the new features in CS6 from CS5 have ever worked when I try to access them on my computer. They completely crash the video card.

Also at the same time look at what has happened to usage of SAS internationally. I work with international researchers on a routine basis and fewer and fewer of them have ever heard of SAS.

First of all, I have been very pleased with the image quality of Pentax cameras.  On the other hand, it appears that third party lens manufacturers will not make lenses for Pentax cameras anymore...

Most of the new features in Adobe photoshop haven't worked for some time. Every new feature in CS6 crashes my computer if I try to use it.

Do you have any idea how much money I have shelled out to Adobe over the years? It appears that Adobe's bootlickers are even more arrogant than they are. Why should I legally commit to paying...

Yes, I realize I am being unreasonable in the specifics.  However, a series of steps by both companies over time have alienated me as a customer and I am simply venting my displeasure.  Neither...

Adobe's brain fart now makes another Pentax decision looking like an eve worse brain fart,  committing to DNG as a RAW format.  At least Pentax helps me in one way.  If I want to bail on Pentax,...

I've been considering looking at alternative RAW converters other than Adobe's. Now that it will be a necessity the question seems to be which ones to try. Meanwhile I will just use CS6 until...
