Hi all, I've read multiple discussions on this but just wanted to clarify as I'm new to the Foveon game.

I recently purchased a DP1S - I can load the files into Lightroom Classic just fine, but am I losing anything by not first processing them in SPP? And what's the "minimum" amount of processing that I can get away with in SPP (just really used to LR at this point)

Thanks in advance!

Greetings Nick

Use SPP only, it works the best for the Foveon. Other programs try to make the Foveon look like a Bayer sensor. Other programs are generic, they work with all cameras except the Sigma/Foveon so if you want the best from the DP learn and use SPP. Some say it's slow or it's this or that, but it isn't. It depends on your computer, don't listen to people. SPP can do a lot you just have to learn it and what it can do. I use two programs SPP and PhotoScapeX You can do a search for PhotoScape X  on the web. Both programs are free and are excellent, PhotoScape X has a lot inside it, I use it for my DNG files and for my S1 files.

So stick to SPP to get the best out of your DP.

Have fun and enjoy
