Re: How do you deal with X3F files ?

I found when I upgraded my machine with a beefier system, SPP worked so much better. You really need to try SPP on a very modern fast machine with loads of RAM. Then see if you can use it. Before, it took ages to process files. Now it is relatively quick. Also, take fewer photos, but make them higher quality. Delete the marginal ones. Ask yourself, what makes this photo special? Will I want to look at this 5 years from now? Most photos are not that special unless you are using it in a studio, etc.

I use graduated filters to cut down on the processing. Also, batch process like photos. Do a custom white balance. These things cut down on the fiddling in SPP.
