![]() ![]() Stagnant, some good comparative points there. It automatically displays RAW thumbnails and as such is good even without trying the editing features. Right clicking on an image thumbnail gives great context menu with loads of file operations. ![]() It actually has a very nice image organiser and interface. There's a good free version and paid for options too. I also use a standalone image manager (iMatch) which can be used to launch files into any of the other programs.īy the way, one other suggestion to try is Zoner Photo Studio. I do similar but use Sagelight for the initial RAW development. Your workflow from PDCU into Tiff then PhotoShop is ideal for a non-complete solution product (eg Lightroom). ![]() Yes thanks microlight, I wasn't sure if PDCU was needed for a pixel shift output or whether the camera just creates a single file. Lightroom will offer features of this sort (not layers, but it has techniques for selective adjustments). It you need to do any detailed or targeted editing (such as selections and layer type work) then you'll need a PhotoShop style editor as well as PDCU. Then again, if you don't want to move everything over to Lightrooms way then you can carry on organising your photos as at present and just use PDCU to edit and generate new JPGs for print and web display. PDCU has a simple browser feature to view files, but it does not do sophisticated organisation or data management like Lightroom. It also offers the essential RAW extraction tool for the HDR function from the camera. It's flexible, but you tend to have to work ITS way.ĭo you have the latest version of Pentax Digital Camera Utility (commonly confused with Silkypix))? This is more of a stand alone RAW converter with editing functions dedicated to the specific camera custom controls. Many people will say it is well worth the effort to learn it thoroughly, but it will need patience and willingness to learn how to utilise it. There are books of over 500 pages on how it all works. Lightroom is an all inclusive data management and image workflow solution. You're really making a major workflow decision. ![]()
