RawShooter and 1D MK-II (2 images)

[KennyG]

So far I am quite impressed with RSE. I ran my images from a weekend motorsport shoot and all I can say is that it has an edge in some areas over C1/CO. Here is an example of how it handles very bright colours under bright sunlight, plus exposed a bit to the right. It gets detail from highlight areas very well indeed.

My only comment is it tends to "pause" when writing out a converted file, where C1 has much better multi-tasking and you don't "feel" any pauses.

WOW. Any chance of posting up the same image processed through C1? I do like the results from RSE but other than the highlight detail I cant quite say why as yet.

Nice output Ken. Hey, and not a bad shot either. Cobwebs blown out yet now you are back "in season" ? :)

I love what RSE does so much I've spent the past few weeks going back through all my RAWs re processing them. I've saved about nine shots that were previously borderline unsalvagable. But the biggest surprise is how much better it makes those shots that were already very good.

Beautiful shots.

Now, excuse my ignorance, but what does RSE stand for?

Same as when we refer to Adobe Camera Raw as ACR.

I have quickly become an RSE convert... and your images and findings reinforce this "conversion"

For me it was easier as I had never yet fully embraced the C1 workflow over Breeze Browser,. I knew I liked it and worked with C1 often,. but I could not give up BB...

With RSE, after only a breif time on my PC, I think that has allready happened.

The shot is awesome Kenny,.
what is your platform? I am not expeirienceing the "pause" on output,. in fact I never know it's working in the background at all...

Yep, I'm not seeing a pause here either even when I've got a Photoshop batch on the go as well.

I'm with CDS, I just drop in images I want converted to TIFFs and forget about it, at no time does it interfere with me adjusting settings on the next shot. Because of this, I'm finding I'm not actually queuing images to batch convert at all. By the time I'm done adjusting each image, the previous image has already been converted.

I run two machines. One has a pair of 3G Xeons and the other a 3G P4. Both have 4GB of RAM and 7200 disks. It isn't a power or RAM/disk speed issue, it may be RSE not handling multi-tasking that well when writing out a converted image.

I can drop images in the queue so they are backing up quite aways. The 'pause' effect has an impact on this as well when you have say 10 images in the queue the 11th can take a second to appear after being dropped in. I can apply adjustments to large batches and drop the lot in which worked fine with C1, no pauses at all during converts/writes. I do write full size TIFF's by the way.

I have not run it on the dual processor machine, only on the P4.

Well your system specs blow mine away.. so it isn't just a matter of a slower machine,.
In fact though reading this second post,. I may not have noticed this particular pause... I misinterpreted what you were saying before. I just may have never noticed the pause? ( I too work in 16bit Tifs)
