Have a look at the free tutorials by George Jardine: https://mulita.com/blog/free-videos/ There are two videos over there which directly address the workings of the sliders in the Basic panel. Also ...

As I understand it, the enhanced detail that Adobe promises is not directly connected with sharpening , but elimination of false detail. I think the best way to compare various raw converters ...

It looks remarkably similar to the AMaZE demosaicing algorithm used by e.g. RawTherapee or darktable. The AI component is probably used to get rid of false colour, otherwise the computational ...

Very interesting. The Adobe Enhanced looks a lot like AMaZE but the latter leaves some yellowish cast (a side-effect of the false colour suppression blur?).

Here's a pretty balanced comparison by somebody who used both cameras: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zs_02Ck-9fs If you are going to shoot a lot of high ISO, consider that the a6400 is likely to ...

Sygnus is right -- don't desaturate the sRGB jpegs you send to your clients. I can think of only one scenario when that could "kind of work" -- it's when you know that all your clients have the ...

The screenshot below shows that you're not using the Windows Photo Viewer but Windows Photos. The former is colour-managed (with some caveats), the latter isn't. FastStone Image Viewer is not ...

I suppose you can, but it'd be nice if DxO fixed it so that one doesn't have to complicate the workflow. Yes, but each raw converter interprets the as shot value differently.

As you have noted in the OP, the colours are almost identical between PhotoLab2 and Lr if you use the same DCP profile in both. There is a black subtraction bug in PL2 which increases the contrast ...

Part of what you see might be the out-of-gamut warning which I think is hidden together with the shadow clipping indicator. I don't see highlight clipping in my photos when applying the Adobe ...

OK, I think I know which artefacts you're talking about -- it's the parquet noise I mentioned earlier and it's a by-product of the demosaicing algorithm used by the raw converter. Here's a nice ...

OK, you can't have more than one instance of the WB module, sorry for the misinformation. But you can use the color balance module or the color zones module to correct locally for colour casts in ...

Could you circle the problem areas for me? There are some green areas which border on becoming watercolour/painterly but I still find them acceptable when looking at 100% on a Full HD monitor ...

You can set different WB values locally in dt but you can't re-use the same parametric mask from another module or another instance of the same module. You can only re-use drawn masks. It is a ...

An interesting idea. I haven't done any decompiling of C1 ICC profiles with DCamProf, but I did create some ICC profiles for use in C1, being dissatisfied with their default colours for some of my ...

I've played with your file in 4 popular raw converters. First, Capture One Express for Fuji (no local adjustments): C1 Express v.12 / based on the Fuji Provia simulation Next, darktable: dt 2.6 The ...

I like using the Detail slider in Lr at the max. value with my Bayer-sensor cameras, but I typically don't go much above the default 25 for the amount and take the Radius down to 0.7. I can see ...

Here I used Iridient X-Transformer to demosaic (I used the "More Detailed" demosaicing option, no sharpening, no NR, and chose to apply all the lens corrections) and converted to linear DNG. Used ...

Which features from C1 do you miss in dt? Here's my try with dt 2.6. darktable 2.6 I warmed it up slightly in comparison to your version. I used the retouch module to heal the same area you tackled ...

Well, you can still use the "Style-toning", "Filter" and "Grain" modules that FilmPack adds to PL on top of the camera profile, but when it comes to the camera profile alone you have to decide ...
