Raw Converters for NX Cameras

Have just received the NX1000 and have tried several Raw Converters YET the only one that seems to accept the raw image is Photoshop CC Camera Raw. Do not want to splurge on Lightroom SO are there any other Raw Converters out there for this and other NX Cameras that we may consider buying in the near future???

Cheers for years

I use Adobe DNG Converter for Mac, which is free and very simple. The DNG files work in everything,

DxO Optics Pro supports the NX1000. DxO is my favorite raw converter, I paid Euro 114 for version 10.

Re: Raw Converters for NX Cameras

Thank you All,

Have just downloaded & Installed Rawtherapee and it took a little working out LOL.

Used to have Dx0 Opics Pro 8 (the free one) but uninstalled quite a while back. I too liked that one. So will have to see how they compare for my type of processing.

Just downloaded Samsung Raw and that gives another one to see which will take precedent.

One other suggestion, if you've already have a favourite way of working with RAWs....

If that's also OK with files in the DNG format, you could use the free Adobe DNG converter and then either dump or archive off the originals? (It's good not only for RAWs from old Samsungs, but stays current with nearly every brand)

As a side benefit, you would see a significant reduction in file size from Samsung's inflated SRW.

Averages with my own pair of Samsungs....

- NX10 (only 14 megapixels) from 26MB as a RAW to 13MB DNG

- NX3000 (like the NX1000, 20 megapixels) from 26MB as a RAW to 17MB DNG

- and the five examples I downloaded from an NX1000 review went from 36MB each to "only" 19MB as DNGs.

Disk storage is relatively cheap these days - however it's not just smaller master files, but also the potential for speeding up every backup, every virus scan, disk check, etc etc.

..................

This is what I'm now doing with mine, and I then process the DNGs in Lightroom 5 - which luckily come bundled with the NX3000 - using an old version of Photoshop Elements (PSE12) for tasks that LR can't handle.

But with the DNG route you may that some of the programs you've dismissed are also back in the frame?

Well we downloaded Dx0 Pro 8 and find it does NOT support the NX1000 but does support the NX100. Hilarious we are expecting the NX100 tomorrow.

Re: Raw Converters for NX Cameras

After quite a few trials with several Raw Converters have decided to say byby to Samsung raw, Rawtherapee, and will play with Dx0 Pro 8 when the NX100 Arrives soon

Adobe Raw seems to work much better with the NX System considering all that I have learned and played with ESPECIALLY with less Magenta tones either from Infrared or regular Pics.

Am finding that there is a need to process the Pentax K-r First with Bibble 5 Pro because of the extra magenta tints (then into ACR for further tuning). While the Panasonic GF3 Infrared Full Spectrum goes totally via Bibble 5 too.

Re: Raw Converters for NX Cameras

I disagree with a lot there, but I'm too tired to argue the minutiae of raw converters... as long as you're happy with it, go with it.

I would STILL love to hear what you disagree with and maybe I will learn something more
