Jpeg's with the SD9

WolfPhoto said:

Hi Sigma SD9 users:

I'm in the market for a new DSLR...I love the quality of pictures
with this camera, but I only have one problem with this camera...I
just wish this camera would do JPEG images!!! Does anybody know if
JPEG can be converted easily with this camera's software? I do
weddings and I need to convert 200-300 pixs all at once to
JPEG....My photo lab web-site only works with JPEG images...I know,
get another photo lab, but I'm invested with this lab already.

Thanks,
Werner

Suggestion: Go to http://www.sigma-photo.com and download/install SPP to
see exactly how it works. Sample SD-9 RAW files have been
gratiously provided by Kendall...

No need to buy the camera to fully explore its quality and SPP.

In addition to Kendall's X3F samples, Sigma now has some X3Fs on
their site for downloading (several of the same files that they
send out on their free CD available on request).

I wish more people would try out the software and these files. I
was very quickly sold on the SD9 after playing around with them.

I am a pro wedding photographer who bought my SD9 earlier this week.
Yesterday as a test I shot off 70 images using "auto wb" at a venue
I visit regularly. Came home, turned on the computer, and Sigma
Photo Pro, selected "save images as" -"all images"- "auto" - "JPEG"
came back later saved jpg's on a CD. Now how easy is that!!!

You can always go back and readjust the odd few that require it.

I would say it saves me about six hours work on 300 images and the
results are superb.

You can batch process everything in one shot using the default
camera settings or let SPP configure automatic setting for each
photo. I have really good luck with auto processing. I usually go
back and reprocess 5-10% by hand that don't work out. From there I
run an action that is almost automatic to correct color etc. One
really nice thing is you dont need to sharpen in PS. Another nice
thing is if your clients want any big enlargements, you still have
the raw file to go back to. Its really not that much more work,
except for maybe the S2 that spits out very consistantly good color
balanced photos. I have also been shooting a 10D and I spend more
time trying to sharpen those images than I do processing my SD9
photos. The SD9 is pretty cheap now and if you dont need to shoot
over iso100 you are set.

I'd say ISO 400 is very comparable to 10D images I've seen, maybe
on average better in the case of the SD-9. The thing is, you can't
use ISO 400 on the camera, you have to use ISO 100 -2EV and push
back +2EV in SPP. Plus the Sd-9 images aren't blurry, which
leaves a lot of lattitude for third party NR to produce a
comparable to better final product.

The 10D ISO 800 images on dpreview are quite noisy and very blurry,
if you are willing to accept that level of blur, I think the SD-9
can do equally well, if not better, from ISO 200 - + 2EV with good
third party NR applied.

Roger, I recommend that you save both your X3F and your JPEGs to a
CD. If you put your JPEGs into a directory titled 'PICTURES' and
burn to ISO9660 format, many new stand-alone DVD players will
recognize this disc as a Kodak Picture CD format and will play the
JPEGs on a TV. I also create a contact sheet with thumbnails of all
the files on the CD and size it to fit a standard DVD style case.
PhotoShop has a great automatic contact sheet creator. Works great
for organizing your archives. If I am creating one of these archive
CDs in a DVD case for a client, I'll often print a nice 5x7 and put
it inside the DVD case in the clips on the left side. When they
open the case, they are greeted with a pleasant surprise.
