Re: How to make small percent adjustments?

Also, remember that the dialogs are often horizontally resizeable, so the adjustment scale can be enlarged.

Re: Adventures in Wide Space

Re: jsachs' remarks about camera color space characterization: is it possible to use the color response matrices for individual camera models published by www.dxomark.com to derive the camera primaries? Just a wild stab in the dark--I *really* don't know what I'm talking about here!

Re: RAW Dialog: Hilite Recovery problem

Just some rapid reaction: these highlight recovery casts have been discussed before: e.g. in http://www.dl-c.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=114&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a where the ever resourceful Den recommends a couple of approaches to fix it after the RAW has been processed. I rec...

Re: Bug in Color Management Profile Load/Save?

Thanks for such a quick reply; I won't reinstall, then, since everything else (well, the limited parts I use) in PWP seems to work. The problem, anyway, is a minor "fit-and-finish" one, just requiring moving windows as a work-around.

Re: Bug in Color Management Profile Load/Save?

No, this is a fresh installation of 5.0.1.5 that was upgraded earlier this week to 5.0.1.6--I simply ran the the setup executable of 5.0.1.6 and it updated the current installation--that's how the Windows MSI is supposed to work, detecting which files need updating and which not.

Bug in Color Management Profile Load/Save?

Hello, Just noticed something: when color management settings are saved with conversion option "Ask Only On Mismatch" and then explicitly reloaded into the color management dialog (either immediately on on some later occasion), then the conversion option "Don't convert" is always...

Re: Noise reduction in RAW

Guillermo Luijk's DCRAW Tutorial is a good reference, though I'm not sure how many (and how) command line options correspond to the knobs available in PWP's Raw dialogs. Other software (everybody and their dog are producing raw converters these days) often uses the DCRAW library as a reliable, fully...

Re: Illumination, Colour Temp and Monitor Curves

I haven't studied concepts of "appearance models" in color science, but apparently those are the basis for automating color adjustments to account for different illumination levels and surroundings. More to read at http://www.handprint.com/LS/CVS/color.html LittleCMS, the color management ...
