These images were all processed in Raw Magick Lite...


On the Nest...



Trying to distract me...


A slightly different reflection than posted previously:

 

Hiya Gale

I just checked my original processed jpeg and there is no halo at all. I'm guessing that it's a pbase kinda thing.

 

Frank...

It depends entirely on the image.

I actually find RM now very simple to use. It kinda clicked in my head all of a sudden...srot of like when I finally figured out in 9th grade what happens when you multiply two negative numbers!

Anyway...I have taken specific images and processed them in both. Overall, I've got to say that the RM images come out looking somehow "cleaner", although I can't tell you exactly what it is that makes it look different.

I am not seeing any differences between capture and RM in regards to color...simply because the D2X shots seem so perfectly balanced most of the time..that there isn't anything to balance?

The one big difference is the time involved to use the sharpening and noise reduction in RM. It takes a while to apply both of those as the program goes through it's computations. Iliah and Peter are improving upon the speed issue relative to plug ins in one of the upcoming versions.

Now...when you save as a fully rendered, full sized tiff......it takes a while...probably 3 minutes? You can do an instant save to your hard drive which is very fast, but you're not getting the applications processing fully applied if you do so.

In a nutshell.....I'm going to play with it intensely for a while and learn the nuances. I think that especially for images which I'm going to print, I am going to use RM from this point forward and also print some direct comparison prints to see what happens.

Have I thoroughly confused you yet???
