![]() But I think technical excellence in software has to be balanced with other capabilities including digital asset management, integration, and ease of use. the camera) to help determine the palette and my skills to engineer the processing configurations.To me the most noticeable and significant differences among the RAW processors is how much detail they pull out of shadows. Otherwise I revel in using my own judgement (vs. Of course our requirements differ: to me accurate color is critical for products shots or technical documentation. Color in the digital realm is fairly malleable. Luigi,Ultimately it depends on what your reproduction requirements are and where your skill levels lie in using software tools.Most of the color differences as rendered by pretty much all the RAW processors are easily fixable to me. I find with my own Pentax camera there seems to be a big disconnect in capturing similar scenes and how the software interprets it.īad software design? I don't know. Clearly the sensor can capture quite enough detail even more than what's shown in both of your crops. Since saturation is tied to overall brightness in a scene and is controlled by exposure, there's no telling how under or over exposed you have to go in making the default settings in each Raw converter give the right results. ACR shows just a flat blob of color and the Pentax DCU shows detail, but still both are unacceptable compared to what most DSLR's on the market can capture and render at least from what I've seen from Raw images taken from different camera and lens combos downloaded from. I do see the differences in the two crops but mainly in the magenta flower petals. As Michael said Pentax is going to apply its own rendering regardless if it's DNG or PEF. You're viewing them in two different programs. I think that the big problem it's what i said before: look at details in the 2 crop…they are really different…there's a different view of shadows and highliths…all in my opinion Then you can save your own preset which you can automatically apply on import of Pentax RAW files including DNGs from the camera. Getting the colors to meet your subjective standards may require additional tweaking with the H/S/L panel. So I advise doing a thorough online search. To answer your question, I believe that user-developed presets exist for Lightroom that mimic the Pentax jpeg modes including their color rendering attributes. ![]() This could boil down to issues of market share. Unlike with Canon and Nikon camera data, Adobe Lightroom doesn’t have the jpeg-equivalent camera calibration profiles (natural, vibrant etc.) as options for Pentax RAW files. I tried the Pentax software a couple of times several years ago and its interface drove me away forever. ![]() The Pentax digital software applies your in-camera jpeg settings to the RAW processing of the PEF or DNG image. Provided your versions are both concurrent, ACR and Lightroom use the same rendering engine. icc sRGB profile searching the pentax digital folder…but i don't know if it can be helpfull. I tried opening the DNG with pentax software and converting it to tiff: the colors are ok, but you lose a lot adjusting light etc.Īll i found it's the. Is there a way i can bypass this issue? using pentax digital software is really boring…it's unfriendly, SLOW, with bad light adjustments and interface. I always use the "embedded" camera profile in camera raw, finding it more similar to the pentax software. I can post examples of what i mean speaking of "definition inside an object with similar colors". ![]() You can check (without the camera) the problem here (see the colorcheker chart): It has no rivals, on my macbook pro it is absolutely faster than others.īUT i found a lot of differences comparing colors (not just tone, but definition inside an object with similar colors) from a DNG using camera raw vs pentax digital camera utility 4. I find it really fast and friendly compared to many other programs (i mean lightroom, pentax digital camera utility, DxO optics pro, Silkypix, etc.). I always used adobe camera raw to manage RAW files.
