But if you ever upgrade your computer or your operating system, the day will surely come when CS6 will effectively become obsolete and non-functional.  Then you will have to choose between joining...

No, I have not tried the Photo Ninja plug-in for CS6, as I cannot see the advantage, but perhaps I am missing something.  Tell me your impressions, please. Rob

Photo Ninja is the best raw convertor currently available, IMO.  I use it in conjunction with Photo Mechanic for file management, as the two programs are very well integrated.  However, if you ever...

I agree that the X100s may have some usability advantages, but purely in terms of image quality, it is no match for the RX1. It all depends on your standards and priorities. BTW, I have had only...

I agree that the price borders on extortion, especially for amateurs, who make up a large percentage of Photoshop users. At $10/month, there would be much greater acceptance.

Are you sure that backwards compatibility with CS6 is assured in perpetuity? I would not bet on Adobe being so thoughtful and generous. Their game is to hook users on CC in a manner that is very...

This is what I intend to do, unless better alternatives come along.  Photo Ninja trounces ACR as a raw convertor, and CS6 with Nik plug-ins is all that I need for now.  However, the day will come...

Do you look at the live histogram and make appropriate adjustments before shooting?  That is the best way to optimize exposure.  You can access the histogram via the Display button in the shooting...

I think this is an excellent observation.  I rarely use my DSLR except for expressly photographic outings.  In contrast, the RX1 requires little effort to carry almost anywhere, which means there...

A single focal length, fixed lens camera is less versatile than an interchangeable lens DSLR.  But a DSLR is larger, heavier, more complex and less likely to be on your person when a promising...

Personally, I'm pretty satisfied with my RX1 as it is--thrilled, in fact.  Yes, it would be nice if the autofocus were a bit snappier, but the camera is not intended for action photography, and I...

I agree that Photo Ninja is far superior to ACR as a raw convertor, but it does not offer all of the features of Photoshop or even Lightroom. I dumped ACR/LR long ago, because the output was so...

Another reason that so many people are troubled by this paradigm shift is that they have an emotional attachment to ACR like a baby and his teddy bear. ACR is a mediocre raw convertor, regardless...

The more I think about it, the less of a big deal this seems to be. For those who are wedded to ACR for raw conversions, just use Lightroom, and you will have updated camera support until such...

What!?  You're planning to sell your RX1? ;-) Rob

See what Photo Ninja can do with the GR DNG file, and stop worrying about red and any other colors. http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/51416998 Rob

Perhaps, but I think that I demonstrated with my Photo Ninja rendering that the DNG file from the GR contains plenty of detail in the red fabric.  With an optimal profile, it would no doubt look...

Here is the same IR sample processed by Photo Ninja using the Scenic preset and Detail slider at 9.  (And remember, PN is not yet optimized for the GR.)  Not only can you see the pattern, you can...

Huge disappointment.  I thought these were going to be pictures of Iron Man using an RX1. :-) Rob
