PWP 7 RAW prodessing
Posted: April 13th, 2013, 6:11 pm
I currently own PWP 5 and have been playing with the 7 beta for processing RAW files (Sony .arw) with excellent results. I've been comparing the output with other "big name" raw processor and in almost every case I prefer the images as processed by PWP 7! Also, the issues with white balance on my Sony RAW files appears to be fixed in this version. Thanks!
I have a couple of questions:
1. In most cases, in order to get the results I like, I end up boosting the Highlights and Shadows about 25%, and the Midtones about 12% - 15% in the RAW dialog. Does that sound correct, or should I be doing something else?
2. How does the sharpening in the RAW dialog compare to the regular sharpening transformation? Is it the same? Should I sharpen during RAW processing AND also use the sharpen transformation later?
