hi, have been processing this afternoon and thought I’d mention these -

Processing progress
There’s text at the bottom of the screen, often it says “HL reconstruction…”, though I think much of the time whilst seeing this is actually stuff like wavelets, noise reduction, sharpening. It’s nice to have a feel for how s/ware behaves, I’d suggest let all the main processes show here. -
Repeat processing
If I save to jpeg, then save to tiff without making any changes (or just output profile), as I often do, RT repeats the demosaicing, HL reconstruction etc. Does it really need to do that in this situation? -
Repeated tool application
As an example, suppose I’ve rotated the image, then altered a few exposure things, then rotated again. The history will show both the rotations. When the pipeline is processed, does RT combine both into one calc? I suppose I’m wondering if it’s “noisier” / less accurate to have the rotate calcs done twice (though I appreciate it’s 32bit). Should one go back to the first rotate and re-do it, for optimum results?
Above is with RT 5.2 & Ubuntu. Looking forward to replacing 16.10 with a supported one and updating RT. (Will probably go to the longer-supported 16.04.3, good till 2021, sound ok?..)
Happy processing…
