Do you favour this program because it has no automation, putting the end results in your hands alone or is there some other reason? I downloaded it at your suggestion and came to the conclusion it is not a photographers tool but a computerists one. As a photographer, I prefer not to dwell on post processing any more than I have to. I do shoot RAW but for me, the work afterwards is a right royal pain. I much prefer DxO because it addresses the faults in my lenses and makes a very nice conversion of the data to an image file. The subtlety of pastel colours is often lost in today's saturated images. Sure some of the files could do with a touch-up in Photoshop after conversion but on the whole, it is the closest I have come to the days when I shot film, sent it to a lab and ordered prints from the proofs. It seems to me that far too many programs exist now that demand so much extra learning or personal input after the shoot as to make the art of photography far too complicated. Your reply is eagerly awaited. It's actually Ryadia here. My PC is being upgraded so I'm using daughters until it comes back. |

working, but did not receive any acknowledgement of my report. I know, and I hate moaning when the software is free. John D |

As a "photographer" I assume that you never did any post processing in the
dark room, just printed the negatives. |

Now, if it would also convert my G2 RAW files, I'd be reeeaaally happy. rafe b. http://www.terrapinphoto.com |

I hardly think you could have read the post properly, Arthur. Having a lab process the film and provide proofs from which to order prints from ....carries with it the hint of a suggestion that maybe the "Photographer" is a Photographer and not a lab technician. Somehow I can't see sitting in front of a computer making adjustments and corrections to a photo which on film would have required the shot to have been made correctly in the first place, as being a Photographer. In the days before Digital SLRs, Photographers lived or died (professionally speaking) by their ability to get it right in the camera. Even today, Photographers have the ability film shooters don't have to see the results of the shot instantly and re-shoot it if it's wrong. Film shooters had to use quite expensive Polaroids to get this opportunity. Photoshop is a less than good photographer's way out of a lot of problems they should never have gotten into in the first place. D |

But unfortunately I'm one of those folks that has been unable to persuade the program to get beyond the registration screen. It pops up a dialog box asking for my name, address, and email. I click "OK", and it obviously goes out and talks to the pixmantec servers, because I get an email almost immediately. But that's it. Nothing else - the program just hangs, not responding. Can anyone who has succesfully installed it tell me what is supposed to happen next? |

Has anyone found any spyware issues? Free software usually comes with a catch. Roger |
