When the "What do you want to do with this file" window opens up, click on save, rather than open. You can then open the file in any application that supports RAW as a file format. You do not want to open the file in a web broweser or you will get what appears to be a foreign language. www.amsaddler.com

Lightroom 1.1  The DPP is more technically "accurate" but the LR is more "colorful" DPP WB off the bottle cap but it does not provide number RAW Luminance and Chrominance NR on High Lightroom WB off the bottle cap. the dropper gave me a number of 50,000 LOL eta: I tried several spots on the bottlecap but still remain with the aqua blue background .

RenéDamkot THREAD STARTER Cream of the Crop 39,856 posts Likes: 8 Joined Feb 2005 Location: enschede, netherlands More info | Jul 08, 2007 11:05 | #39 Had a few minutes to spare, so gave it a try myself:
Conversion in DPP. Converted twice: Once at 0, once at +0.5 EC for the face. Color temperature: 4900K, Color Tone +1; Contrast and saturation: 0; Sharpness 3; Shadow slider (on the curve) around -4. No NR. Additional conversion thru ACR to recover some blown highlights. Sandwiched files in PS, masked the face to lighten, additional curves adjustment layer to do the same. Masked the highlights to darken them. Added a bit of vignetting. Masking was done using the mothod described in this Quicktime tutorial .Cropped. Copied, converted to Lab. Copy pasted the L channel on the original. Blending mode Soft Light, opacity 90%, to add some 'punch'. Total time: 10 minutes in PS, from open to save. That is with 16bpc tiff files, which doesn't exactely speed up my G4 I usually start off with 8bpc jpg files. "I think the idea of art kills creativity" - Douglas Adams

A little under 10 minutes again, new conversion from DPP, almost the same workflow. I didn't look at the previous version untill I had finished this one, so I guess I'm pretty constant  Yes, constantly EXCELLENT! Dwight McCann

I only have lightroom (additional to DPP), so here is my LR version. Cheeers. johnstoy wrote in post #3410791 In RAW -"Calibrate," I reduced the Shadow Tint... Also reduced the "Color Balance" of the Blue: shadows, midtones, and highlights...   HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.
