You'll be discovering the PP software you prefer by experiment (always the best way) but I will recommend (from extensive use myself) Version 6 of AdobeCameraRaw (ACR) that comes only with LightRoom 3 or CS5. Consider buying the latest version of Photoshop Elements to replace them - unless you're using a pre-Intel Mac, in which case you don't have that option.įunnily enough I have a friend who still uses Adobe Photoshop 7 so I should have realised what you meant. Your workflow will be somewhat convoluted, and your pp-ing possibilities somewhat limited, working with SilkyPix and Photoshop 7. You're on the right track experimenting with raw. Don't take my word, or anyone's word, for it. If you want to see the differences, before and after, first-hand, shoot some raw + jpg, process them, then compare. The good side is that you'll be free of the unpleasant noise reduction and sharpening artifacts that plague jpg images, and you'll be able to recover some detail from the highlights and shadows that you couldn't recover from the jpgs. Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to clean up the noise, adjust color and tone, and to sharpen it. In some respects, you'll probably find it initially worse than a jpg, in that at any ISO other than base, it may have more noise. A converted raw file is still raw material to be tweaked and improved. The difference between a converted raw file and a jpg is nothing like the difference between a negative and a print. Will I see as great a difference between a freshly converted raw file and a jpeg? Like the difference between an old 35mm negative and a print? That'd be SWEET! The FastStone did improve an almost trashed photo from the fz's first outing, into a bit of a smash: So, not liking the AP7.0 tpp much right from the git – I've opened up the Silkypix 3.1 and FastStone programs and their associated tutorials. Between the two they should hopefully suffice for my needs.
the manual had two mis-spellings to start with. Might not be that great of an idea using PhotoShop 7.0. Photoshop Elements has a "cut-down" version of ACR - not all dialogues and sliders are available.ĭo you have one of the Adobe software programs that contains ACR 7.2?īy 'Adobe 7' I meant – Adobe Photoshop 7.0 The current Adobe photo editing software programs are:Īll of these have AdobeCameraRaw 7.2 packaged with them, this ACR being the sub-program that handles RAW editing and from which you can convert the RAW file into a tif, jpeg, PSD or whatever file format you prefer for further editing in a non-RAW photo editor or viewing in an organiser/presentation program.
