Awesome jpeg viewer/RAW convertor

Go to last post
I have been using this program for quite a while and have posted how much I like it on various forums, but I never get any feedback or even replies. It is a great program, but have you noticed that the tifs are just big question marks when viewing them with fvu and the evu? Mine are and maybe I have a wrong setting in the conversion options. Other than that, I love the program, I can do many things with this little program. Glad someone else found it.
 
Can't see photos that don't come straight from the Camera. Per Chuck Westfall. This may not be completely accurate, but it was then intention of the developers of the FVU/EVU.

I know that you (Zapped) have participated in many posts of mine in the past. I am sorry that these aren't meeting your needs.

Many, many people have asked me to post my information in a more permanent place. They also say that they don't see my postings because it gets lost in all the junk posted here. I asked for, and got feedback on posting a blog, and everyone who responded said they would like it.

So, with my own investment of time I created this blog. It captures the usual things that I would have posted here and puts them in place.

I thought people would like to know about it when I posted interesting content, so I posted them here. Well, then I get your "pbleic spam" feedback.

Very good. I won't post anything here about the blog any longer. That means I won't post anything on dpreview anymore. Thanks for saving me time and effort.

PS. Your website is aptly named.

Just because one person doesn't like blogs, doesn't mean we all don't. I have found your posts really useful and bought several books because you mentioned them and use your actions and and.....

so don't take zapped's post as a general comment from everyone, stick around, we need you

But if Zapped feels this way, I am sure there are many others who do as well. Here is my problem:

I have some stuff to publish that some say is interesting. I want to put it somewhere where it can be read, reviewed, etc. in one place. I don't have the time or inclincation to post it in two places and participate in discussions in two places. So, either I go off and do my thing on the blog or I continue to post here.

I have pretty much gotten frustrated with posting here. I have to bump my posts several times. At least on the blog someone who gets there can find old stuff as well. In addition, you don't have to wade through tons of newbie questions to do it.

What should I do? I don't want to annoy people on the forum.

well just my opinion.....

More places things are posted, better chance we have of seeing them, especially as the forum moves so fast. I already have your blog bookmarked, but I think most people check in here at least once a day to see what's happening. Doubt many have time to check all the websites they would like to.

I agree too. Why wouldn't pbleic just copy/paste what he typed into his blog here on this forum? Wouldn't that make more sense?

My posts have pictures and links and all sorts of stuff. Not going to do it. I guess you have to read my blog or don't get my content. Sorry.

Ok then, why not copy/paste the valuable information, THEN give the link for more information? That wouldn't be such a blatant attempt at getting more traffic to your blog.

So I won't do it. It isn't a commercial blog. It is just a response to the requests from people on this forum. I don't really care if it gets read. I was just trying to help people.

Another example of "no good deed goes unpunished."

First off, why post content in two places? Why not post a link and say "look at this". Surely, that's part of the educational aspect of this forum. I learn alot from the regular posters here who take the time to find these links and help the rest of us out - WITHOUT THE REST OF US HAVING TO ASK THE QUESTION. That's key. I'm reminded of a recent post by wild-Ike on the noise reduction application. I'd hate for him to have waited ot be asked.

Secondly, I use a ton of actions in PS, rarely do I use two from the same person. Paul's the exception, his sharpening and velvia actions are a testament to his skills in PS. That's my brown nosing over with!!!!!!

Thirdly, I'm amazed that Zapped and the others would rather see a post asking some really inane questions (yes, we've all seen them) than something like this.

Fourthly, have you read Paul's blog, it's actually very good, ok, now my brown nosing is really over. I tried to disguise that as a back handed compliment.

Paul, keep posting.

People reading this thread in 1 month, or 6 months... will they know what you were talking about? No? Why is that? Because you gave no information in your post!

Hi Paul,

These links are hardly comprehensive and are old at this point. The Variable Number of Gradients method is also old, having been adopted by Dave Coffin based on reading a 1999 paper. There have been technical papers since that describe new algorithms which improve upon it. Whether or not any current software uses such algorithms I do not know. However, it would be strange for companies like C1 and Adobe not to be aware of the same literature. Strong statements (claiming that this or that is "the best") really do demand equally strong proof. Otherwise, I feel that it's safest to just state that it's highly regarded and provide links to the same sources that convinced you, so that others can come to their own conclusions.

Please don't take this as criticism. I believe in trying to pump as much useful info into these forums as possible. I'm intending this as friendly commentary. As someone who submits technical papers to peer review on a regular basis and returns the favor as a reviewer on occasion, I'm used to not taking such commentary personally.

David
