I was playing with fp L DNGs downloaded from DPR, and found that if I open the DNG with PSE 2020 (it uses ACR 12.0 for this) and then save a JPG using PSE 2020, that DNG is modified and then SPP ...

I have Photoshop Elements 2020, which came with Adobe Camera Raw v12.0 bundled.  It opens DNGs from my sd Quattro.

The unhappy gibbon resonated with me! How often I have felt this way: paying bills, struggling in traffic, trying to recover after having eaten something that disagrees with me, trying to get up ...

Wait, Wait!  You need to buy some legacy Leica lenses and some new Leica lenses first, just to know for sure!

A nice piece of Gorilla glass in front of the sensor could do a great job and if it is thick enough (or far enough away from the sensor without being too close to lens rear elements) dust on its...

I have a few favorite scenes that I photograph many times through the course of a year.  This particular image of yours is very nice, and appeals to me because the grasses are brown and the tree ...

This is a big problem with digital.  So many images and each one is a decision or three that has to be made.  With film, and the cost of a roll of film developed and printed, it was a minute or ...

I've heard a lot of good reports about Voigtlander lenses, and they look pretty good to me, as well as being much more affordable than the Leicas.  Haven't tried any myself though. I'm more of a ...

Very nice.  I also have a 135mm F4 Elmar, and it must be about the same age.  It was the only lens nobody wanted when I sold the rest on Craig's List.  I can understand why it might not be ...

I did this very tedious test tonight: X-T3 Body v4.11 50mm F2 WR v1.00 SanDisk Extreme PRO 32Gb, UHS II CL mode (this is a dial setting on the top left of the body as seen on the side opposite to ...

Thanks. I never shoot my cameras this way but I'll give it a try.  I assume the OP was using a Fuji electronic lens so I will test with one.  I have a 50mm F2 WR.

I could try a test on my own X-T3 if you could tell me what "CL function" means.

I have the Fuji M adapter and have used a few Leica lenses.  I have not been impressed, except for the Elmar 90mm F4 which was excellent on my X-E1. Sample from Elmar 90mm F4 All the lenses I tried ...

Thanks! I made a test DNG using Iridient X-transformer.  I tried it in my Faststone viewer v5.5 and it works!  It also works in my RawTherapee v5.8, with no color shift. I was also able to open a ...

I agree.  I see smooth areas in the stacked image and wormy areas in the single exposure. I think changing the processing of the single exposure might help it.

Anti-Adobe related question:  Is there a non-Adobe way to open a DNG file?

ZS200 is tiny, has a 1" sensor and a 24-360mm equivalent lens.  ZS15 has 24-383mm range, so it is about the same. I have a ZS100, pretty much the same size but only 25-250mm range.  I get good ...

I have not had the issue. I might try saving two to five versions of the same image just for a test, with different names. If they come out of storage looking identical, it isn't the storage ...

Interesting question! I'm a hobbyist with enough time on my hands, being retired. Typically when I go out with a camera I might take 20-100 pictures, and after culling I usually get 2-10 images I ...

Same with my DP2 (I no longer have this camera).  It is 5mp and the images will be 5mp, and the OP's image looks plenty sharp to me when viewed at 100%. One thing misleading to newcomers is the way ...
