In my previous post on the subject of the color responses of Aperture, Lightroom and Capture, I mentioned that once I adjusted for exposure and contrast, the rendition that Capture One gave became very bright.

In this post, I’ll look at the color response of Capture One, Lightroom and Aperture against an image of an actual GretagMacbeth test chart, as cteated on a Nikon D80, rather than the Leica M8 I used in the previous post.

In the previous part of this mini-review, I looked at the color response of Capture One, Lightroom and Aperture against a synthetically generated GretagMacbeth test chart. In this post, I’ll look at the response of the same programs against an image of an actual GretagMacbeth test chart.

At long last, here’s the comparison of color rendering promised several weeks ago – between work and the display board in my main PC failing, this has taken longer than I’d expected. This post compares the color rendering of Lightroom, Aperture and Capture One versus a synthetic test image.

In part 1 of this series, I promised to show the tone curves for the various raw developers that I'm looking at. Here they are:

The Lightroom curves, for various settings of brightness and contrast - brightness has by far the most pronounced impact the image.

At long last, I've done something I've had on my to-do list for a long time now, which is to create a web space where I can put various files that might be useful to other people. It's at http://chromasoft.googlepages.com/.

Well, I learned something new this morning, thanks to a question that Baxter Bradford asked over on the LUF. What he asked was (in effect) whether the various Adobe raw products (Adobe Camera Raw, Lightroom) would pick up on a changed camera profiles in a DNG file.

As part of my journey into digital imaging, I found myself writing CornerFix, which can be found on http://sourceforge.net/projects/cornerfix/. The image is a screen shot of the Mac version.

Over the past year or so, I've been involving myself more and more in the world of digital imaging. Photography isn't new to me - I was using a rangefinder while in school, developing and printing my own work.
