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!

Hi Ted,  glad to see you are still 'hanging in'  Trust Texas is kind to you.

Sorry, it is --0.3EV.  I have found that helps with 'blown' highlights and just leave the SD15 set at that.

Not done much with the camera for a long time, seem to have lost my 'Mojo' with it ☹️

All this lockdown etc cramps opportunities , real drag.

Take care and best wishes.

Cheers,

Stuart.
