If it were not for top quality, Free Software solutions like the Linux kernel, apache, nginx, mySQL, postgres, and tons and tons of other things, we wouldn’t have the internet as we know it, android, macOS, Firefox, Chrome, Roku boxes, many of your camera firmwares, or many many other great pieces of technology.
Thanks! I just played around with this for a while. Here are some thoughts…
I had to add the ARQ file type manually in the preferences to get the file browser to show ARQ files. But at least there was an option to do it…
The motion correction is pretty amazing! Even if you have not tried to optimize parameters for the Sony, it looks great. I really didn’t see any issues at all.
It did take quite a lot of sharpening to get it to look like the Imaging Edge output. So the presumed resolution gains of PS still seem rather small.
I have the Dell 5K monitor (218ppi). To get the image to look the right 1:1 size, I had to use a zoom of 50%. Is the UI applying a 2x fudge factor for my monitor? This has the added disadvantage that I can’t see sharpening effects unless I zoom in to what is effectively 2:1 to me.
A request… It’s really slow to pan around at 1:1. It would be great if RT rendered the whole image at 1:1 and allowed instant panning. I have plenty of memory in my machine–and Lightroom does this.
Anyway, thanks for making the special build so quickly. It looks like it will be easy for RT to support Sony pixel shift and motion correction.
Another gimmick is the possibility to use the median of all demosaiced frames instead of just one demosaiced frame for the parts with motion. You can use that to eliminate things which are at different positions in the frames or to get a long time exposure effect (especially with water).
I tried it with your 2 seconds waterfall image.
Left is using one frame for the parts with motion, right is using the median of 4 frames
@agriggio wouldn’t “.arq” appear only if the options file was deleted? People updating from previous RT versions with an existing options file will not see “.arq”
I had an older version installed. I both built from Dev and used RawTherapee_OSX_10.9_64_5.3-358-g0e9aab57. Neither automatically installed the “.arq” extension. I didn’t see code to add it in a quick scan through the changes in the PR, but I’m not really familiar with the codebase.
