The wang measuring contest isn't really helping the OP here.

That's what I was trying to get at when pointing out to Petak that my posting what he asks for isn't going to get us anywhere.

Eoanthropus, posting samples converted with different RAW converters and discussing them is precisely what the original poster needs for choosing one. Calling this "wang measuring contest", on the other hand, is not a very useful contribution?

ttbek, I haven't labelled my samples for a reason - which one do you like better and why?

Ah, sorry, I downloaded them and figured it out before my other post just now. If you were going for a blind sample test, that is a measure of subjective quality. There isn't anything wrong with subjective quality, just be aware that that's what it is rather than objective.

For instance, some people prefer grainy film over the smooth look, etc... but assessing the noise levels would objectively say the other is higher quality.

To be fair with you I got bored by you philosophizing about subjective vs objective or whatever for the sole purpose of

making my position clear

avoiding admitting the obvious. fine by me - the samples are available and whoever is interested can judge by himself, including you. Good luck.

They are there indeed, and others will be able to see exactly what I noted in them.
