Leica M9 workflow

E' impensabile acquistare una fotocamera con un sensore CCD da 18 megapixel ed usare i "jpeg on-camera".

La M9 pretende di essere usata con i DNG, a meno che non ci si accontenti della qualità di una reflex di qualche anno fà, ma a mio avviso è un po' mortificante sia per l'utente che per la macchina.

Con l'acquisto della M9, si possono scaricare gratuitamente due licenze di Adobe Lightroom 3 (per Mac o PC), il software di Apple che usa il motore di elaborazione Camera Raw 6.

file with any rendering differences between version 2 and 3 of the program are large, with the DNG M9, are enormous.

files out of the camera weighs 37 Mb each, Tiff output from the program to uncompressed 16-bit 103 Mb, it is obvious that you need plenty of storage space.

It 'clear that a large amount of files so we need a good computer program to allow the demosaicing files in a reasonable time.

My Pentium 4 660 (3.60 GHz), once the pride of the single-core Intel, takes 15 seconds for each file, and I'm just talking about demosaicing , to which we must then add the time required to make various changes to the parameters of the image and saving to TIFF.

The digital noise is very low and takes the typical pitting the grain of old films silver, while the sharpness remains high.

The automatic white balance does an excellent job in many situations, a few years from now, probably , this parameter will be totally automated. The

exposure adjustment of M9 allows files to recover, without alteration of colors, at least one stop, is that overexposure underexposure ... course is for the photographer to expose properly at the time of the shot, but since no one is infallible (nor help ...), I always comfortable.

The new version 3 is the introduction of lens correction, which automatically corrects for vignetting and chromatic aberrations.

Unfortunately, the Leica lenses have not yet been "profiled" and then in case of need is to be executed manually to correct these defects.

Leica M9, \u200b\u200bworking with a good program for processing raw, yields excellent color files up to 1600 ISO, with exceptional clarity and superior to the size 100x70cm prints (200 dpi) using the sensitivity of ISO 2000 or 2500 is perhaps appropriate to reduce the print size or make the conversion in b / n.
