RT on the other hand is only concerned with processing RAW photographs so it doesn't have any extra photo manipulation features. I would recommend that you check out Darktable.

    • @jacobswing
      @jacobswing Місяць тому

      I'll have to check into something to help with the mouse browser. Yes, to apply the processing profile to all photos, you would just need to select all photos and then select the processing profile. Its all about which photos are selected when you are apply edits while batch processing. I personally like to start with a neutral processing profile, edit that to my liking and then apply it across the rest of my photos from that shoot. But the standard RT tone curve and processing profiles are usually a pretty good place to start.

    • @jacobswing
      @jacobswing Місяць тому

      That is a possibility. My usual workflow is to open an image in RT, edit all the colors the way that I like, then open the image in GIMP and do any corrections (like hair or blemish removal), then any final color tweaks. If you do want to send an image back to RT make sure you save a lossless image (either a tiff without any compression or an EXR file) otherwise it doesn't make sense to open your image in RT again because the RAW data would be compressed and unusable. I hope that makes sense.

    • @jacobswing

      The Lumix G85 is a great camera! When you turn on noise reduction, you need to be at the 1:1 zoom ratio (its a little button at the bottom of the image window). You then need to increase the the luminance slider in order to start adding noise reduction.
