Blue, red and green is OKish with me as well ;-)

In principle, yes. But to assign, e.g., green absoption to the middle layer implies that absorption of green only takes place in the middle layer. To me, this is an oversimplification which can be ...

Yes, it shows the layer structure very well. BTW, in the picture from Wikipedia which I added to my last post, there is a typical laxness in the description. It says „blue absorption, green ...

Hi Ted, no, I don't think that the curves are incorrect. As I wrote in my posts before, the lower layer absorbs more long wavelength photons than the middle and top layer because it is much ...

Sorry, no intention to hurt you! The photo effect, i.e., the absorption of photons by electrons which gives them enough energy to reach the conduction band. Any text book about optics and ...

Because the absorption rate of photons in silicon depends on the wavelength. The longer the wavelength, the lower the absorption rate. Therefore, in lower layers, you have more red photons which ...

snip... For a pedant, you treat logic a bit careless. 1. The word capture is not mis-used but describes the effect quite good. It doesn't make non-sense out of his sentence. 2. In fact, it is even ...

I don‘t understand why you are so adamant about „capture“ or „merge“ being totally different from „absorb“.

You can also set the RAW mode to „low“. Maybe you accidently did this when trying to set something else?

Thank you Richard, words are fine but why not post a comparison? If the improvements are more than subtle, it would make things clear and obvious. I work with 6.6 and I am fine with it. And I was ...

Hi Jarno, I see the same, panning in 6.6 needs time in contrast to older version. On the other hand, older versions needed extra time to do the full resolution development. It‘s a trade-off. On my ...

Thank you Rick! I own an sd Quattro H. I bought it right after it was released. My question is if one of those who see a big improvement with version 6.6 would be willing to post a comparison here ...

Repeatedly, I read that SPP 6.6 is much better for Quattro files than  SPP6.5.5. Some even say it is like having a new sensor. At best, I see subtle differences using exactly the same settings and ...

I would go with #1. Both will look great but #1 adds a bit more atmosphere to it. I assume, it could be better decided upon if one sees the prints in the final format and the final medium (i.e., ...

Did I post this already some time ago?

This makes sense. Especially, the differentiation between yaw and nick blur. Interestingly, the vertical contrast edges are very much blurred in this example. But these shouldn‘t be much affected ...

I think it qualifies. I like these maschines as they are reduced to the max, openly showing their mechanical parts and how they are working. But sad to see the flat tires. It still looks good and ...

Both shots show the same information in dpreview. Same shutter speed and same capture time.
