Hi there Maybe my decent video baseline settings can help you. X-T4, however. https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/66779528 Cheers, Martin

No. But there is a Mk II of the UFO lens. I have it and like it. Just had no chance to write a brief review. Cheers, Martin

Hi Lokito No worries, this is manageable. It is a great camera. Can you please be more specific? For general use, I don't recommend the manual. My first advice is to watch YouTube videos. There are ...

Thank you redisred. Very detailed and helpful. And in line with what the majority here say. Many thanks also to all others who helped me in decision making. I did not go for DxO now. It is clear to ...

You could first play with darktable and LUTs. No idea how your raw files will behave with the LUTs, but IMO it is worth a try. Writing an own software is an incredible effort. This is my way: https ...

Yep. And with walking people, don't do below 1/500 s. Cheers, Martin

This I cannot tell. I just can say that there are simply no Linux versions available of Topaz, DxO, and LR/PS. I bought Neat Image, they have a Linux version, but as of today, Neat Image is not ...

Thank you Raymond. Pretty much also my own conclusion. No need to instantly purchase DxO PureRaw 3 as a Lightroom user. Best, Martin

Wow. Quite some work per image! Thank you for your detailed workflow description, Morris. Cheers, Martin

Yes that's also my takeaway. It is definitely not like day and night, the differences between LR and DxO PureRaw 3 denoising seem to be more subtle. Martin

Yep So in this case, the faster graphics card does not outperform the processor. Thank you Morris. Martin

I believe A is OOC and B the LR edit. Because A is a tad more contrasty. But they are pretty close. Now, Erik, was I right or wrong? Cheers, Martin

Thank you Bob. This is consistent with what I found in the web, looking at real life comparison exercises such as the one I cited in this thread (though, mostly not X-Trans!). No big difference. It ...

A quantification of the interplay of processor and graphics card seems complex. I went for a notebook. Because I need the flexibility. I see that I often doen't want to switch on my desktop PC. My ...

Thank you Bob.

Thank you Chris. "Better" - Faster? Better IQ? If IQ, in what situations? Foliage? Cheers, Martin

I found a really well done comparison. It is in German but thanks to the sliders and descriptors, it should be understandable to everyone. Denoising comparison LR 12.3 vs DxO PureRaw 3 The ...

Thank you. Yes foliage is among the most challenging subjects. I know about the trial period, but as I said, my new system is not up and running yet, and sales are now. I cannot test. That's why I ...

Hi there, Long term Linux and darktable user, currently about to completely change my photo setup since I am intrigued by the new AI based denoising and sharpening tools. I read positive opinions ...

None. This forum! Videos on YouTube by Omar Gonzalez for photo and pal2tech for video. Cheers, Martin
