Yes, I have old 12mp files from D200, D300, D700 and D3... The D200 NEF/raw files from its CCD chip are surprisingly good if they were taken in good light. I've also been re-editing a few and have to say that the D700/D3 files with their huge photosites are gorgeous. I've been "up-rezing" some with Topaz Gigapixel, you have quite a bit of control, the best being no sharpening, noise reduction, just plain AI uprez,o be further developed i ACR/Photoshop. It's a fun project. I use ACR enhance for low level de-noise with great results but haven't tried the "enhance upez", I'll give it a go. Thanks for this video.

You bet. I vastly prefer Enhance's super resolution to the topaz result and workflow. Yes, I have a huge number of D700 files. It was my primary body a long time. A great machine in it's day.

Great tips! Very timely for me, as I am reprocessing a bunch of images captured in Costa Rica 2009 with a D300! I have not tried the enhance feature.

Excellent demonstration! Definitely like the editing videos. You made a comment in the beginning that I have to ask, why aren’t you converting to DNG Any longer? I’ve always imported and converted to DNG since Lightroom’s beginning. Thanks, Mac.
@HudsonHenryPhoto6 ай бұрын
I prefer to keep the original RAW format as captured by the sensor. If DNG had taken off and adopted by more than just Leica, the world would be a better place, but most brands, including Nikon stuck with their own file format.

@@HudsonHenryPhoto As always, thank you very much for your kind efforts, openness to share what you learned, and highly polite demeanour in the way you present. It inspires us beyond photography. I'm a hobbyist photographer, rejoining after a gap of 14 years; I recall from my previous learning (most of them were by Chris Orwig). There was an option to embed the original RAW files within DNG. If I may ask, what is your view on that? Do you keep original RAW files in the camera manufacturer file format, or do you see benefits in creating DNG embedded with the RAW file (especially when compared to the increased space requirements)? Thank you very much.

@HudsonHenryPhoto6 ай бұрын
Sorry, KZbin often fails to notify me of followup questions. Yes the double file size of embedding the original raw in a dng just becomes onerous. Leica files are a joy to work with in Adobe largely because they adopted Dng as their base format, and I assume Adobe loves them for it.

Thanks for the Education!!! As for some info, I like capturing Milky Way's and only the last couple of years have I done Panoramas. Milky Way Arc panos are like the hardest to edit for so little control points in PTGui and adding takes a while and tiring. A night ago or so I was doing the PTGui thing and being tired I was looking at Edit In and there was Photoshop Panorama so I tried it and bang the whole thing popped up. So went back to Lr and synced all images and edited all and then did the Lr NR and got the 8 images NRed with the edits and sent to PS popped again with edits and NR then saved and back to Lr and with a few cleanups boom a wow image. Astro panos are the hardest to merge even with a 15 degree stop for each and at 14mm f/1.8 with a 10 sec exposure each. Yes camera NR on and while on going to next stop. you can also select Aware and get a wider pano. I went back to some older panos and came out better!!! Just Info!!!
@HudsonHenryPhoto6 ай бұрын
Yeah, 100% the merge engine in LR/PS has gotten nuts. I recently did a video about how I just don't ever do exact nodal measures anymore. It handles paralax so well that close is enough. Tip: try 33% overlap for all your panos. It's just pixels and it give the processor the ability to merge the files with the absolute sweet spot of the lense's center projection throughout the resulting image. Plus it gives you insurance in case there is a messed up frame and less distortion and paralax concerns. I shoot every pano with 33% overlap and have for years.

Great video Hudson (as always). There is no doubt that LR & PS are the "industry standards" for photo editing, but I would also like to see a similar video for ON1 as well. Although the concepts would be the same, the mechanics would be different.

Absolutely I do. I'm not a big Topaz fan personally and this way you stay in the same raw processor start to finish. The tools are all tuned to work together seamlessly.

why have you gone away from dng ?
@HudsonHenryPhoto6 ай бұрын
I haven't for my Leica files. They're the only brand I know to adopt dng as the native file format. I wish other brands had too, but alas... I prefer to archive the raw data exactly as it came off the sensor. Period. Sure your can embed your original raw file in an Adobe dng conversion, but only at the expense of double the file size.

Perhaps you stopped down on the condor image because you knew that lens was sharper and reduced vignetting when stopped down.
