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!

HI Nick,

I misread your camera DP1s but expect it is much the same as the SD15 X3F files I get.

...but the DP1s is 'iso-less' whereas the SD15 has an AFE and the conversion meta-data are quite different.

FWIW I set my SD15 in camera exposure to --3 and work from there.

Out of interest, is that -3 or - 0.3? Presumably to avoid the AFE clipping?  I'm thinking -0.3EV because -3EV would be a bit much, noise-wise ...

I use SPP initially for a start and then Affinity Photo to fine tune if I feel like it.

I don't spend a lot of time on post processing and don't get bogged down playing around.

Keep it simple and easy, that's for me.

Me too, Stuart!
