![]() ![]() It’s all in one place and cannot get lost. That’s why I prefer having the edit information in the DNG files. But then it can easily happen that you move files somewhere else with a software that only shows the photo images and all of a sudden the sidecar files are no longer avaliable at the new location. But the same thing works with PEF of course - and you will have the XMP sidecar files for each photo. Also viewing the files in Adobe Bridge will show the keywording, rating, etc. I rather want to have my editing steps be stored in each file, so in the worst case (catalog file corrupted) I can import the files into a new catalog and the edits are still there. The risk that this catalog file gets corrupted is much higher than all RAW files will. It’s nice to have all the edit steps in the catalog file, but that is about 2 GB in my case and gets rewritten all the time. Just let Lightroom write back all changes and don’t kill the process in the middle. Of course there is a small risk that rewriting a RAW file will corrupt it, but I see the risk as not critical. If the camera supports DNG I don’t see why not using it.Ībout the editing steps being stored in the DNGs or not: I finally switched that feature on in Lightroom. The cameras know how to properly write the image data to DNG right away and you will end up with a consistent and very well supported file format. I have a K-5 and a K-3 II and both of them are set to DNG. However, what I would do is switching the RAW format to DNG in camera. If we’re already talking about leaving the RAW files untouched, this would be the first thing: don’t convert your PEF files to DNG. It would be surprising if the PEF to DNG conversation was broken in some way, but you never know. The bug got fixed at some point, but any issues with the converted images couldn’t be repaired. Many people did that and threw away their original RAW files. There have been issues with a certain Lightroom version, when it came to converting Canon RAW files to DNG. Here’s what I think: converting your already existing files to DNG is not necessary and actually the conversion can potentially deteriorate the photos. Most halfway decent photo editors should however support PEF. That is a long time ago.No matter if DNG is an “open format” or not: it’s far more often supported by imaging software than PEF. I really liked the results and used it exclusively many years ago. If anyone who could assist me find some good elaborate Tutorials on Silkypix Developer Studio Pro 10, that would be kind of you. Is this because SP has very low user base outside Japan? Why is that? At least in english.Įven though they are in the business for a long time and they work with or support every Japanese camera manufacturers.Įven New Luminar has more Tutorials than SP. But, unlike LR or DXO or C1, Tutorials for Silkypix DS PRO 10 Tutorials are rare. I genuinely love the results of Silkypix Developer. Just providing some translations between Silkypix speak and mainstream editors would help May be I could request DPreview to open a separate forum for Silkypix? Hmm. After importing, Lightroom organizes your photographs in a more streamlined and much simpler way than in Lightroom Classic. Although, my findings above are not bad to be honest. Silkypix Developer Studio Pro vs Lightroom By default, Lightroom uploads your images to Adobe's Creative Cloud servers when you import them. I am still catching up on rules and boundaries. Maybe you could start a thread asking for tips on using the software and posting your views on what is good about the software and its capabilities?Īnd also, believe me or not, this my first time ever in DP Review or any forums like this (welcome to 2020, lol). They strongly believe that quality speak for itself.Notably Fuji, Panasonic, Ricoh, Olympus and Nikon They are heavily backed by almost all the Japanese camera manufacturers.They have a very strong user base in home Japan. ![]() I guess they not bothering for 2 reasons. As you said, they need to work on marketing. ![]() Surprisingly, there are user bases in different countries and different languages. I even translated my same question in one sentence in french, korean, italian, german and Hindi. Unfortunately, Ichikawa Soft Laboratory don't make much effort to promote/support their products in USA/Europe. Silkypix Developer Studio Pro is a very underrated raw converter. Why there aren't other folks as active as LR or DXO community in internet. ![]() Very helpful though.Ī facebook group that has only 5 members. Which is a playlist of basic to semi advance Tutorials of Silkypix Developer Studio by the same person who wrote the blog above. And it looks like a review/ brief Tutorials. Which is essentially a guy who explained in details why he is using Silkypix DS PRO 10 over Lightroom, Capture One, and DXO Photolab 4. Specially if there was anything new for last 2 years and if they are in english. In google and YouTube I have done a crazy search. ![]()
