    Davinci Resolve Studio as RAW Photo Editor and Manager https://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/23419/davinci-resolve-studio-as-raw-photo-editor-and-manager Thu, 23 Jan 2020 06:20:25 +0000 tida 23419@/talks/discussions DaVinci Resolve Studio comes from version to version closer to an image editing and managing tool. Media Page can import thousands of Images and becomes very convenient for managing images. Color grading is superb for dealing with tons of images. Resolution of 8K Video format - means a lot of megapixels whereas output can be 16 bit tif.

    One of the weakest point is RAW handling as it only accepts DNG. DaVinci also wants to treat DNG as sequenced video clips which makes Image ingestion tricky. Due to this issue I created an extraction tool.

    The aim of the Media Extraction tool is the simple integration of any Camera RAW file into DaVinci Resolve Timeline.

    Please find below a link for a program which I release as freeware. It does not include any time limits. I would be happy for any comments to improve this software. It's currently only available for Windows Platform;) MacOS is a matter of time as I have to downgrade my computer or have to wait until Lazarus (Free Pascal) is compiling on Catalina:(

    https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ztcz3noe4tb0orn/AABqcPuPIy5PsIRdJBLK18dHa?dl=0


    The MSP Media Support Program does include a Media Extraction Tool and a Resolution Calculator for Dummies.

    Accepted Camera RAW formats: 3fr, arw, cr2, cr3, crw, dcr, erf, fff, gpr, iiq, kdc, liq, mos, mrw, nef, nrw, orf, pef, raf, raw, rwl, rw2, srw, srf, x3f

    Idea is to start with JPG files and put them in different Timelines (Landscape, Portrait, different aspect ratios) and align them. Before you start with color grading you extract RAW files, convert them to DNG and re-link them. After that, you work with RAW...

    image


    Workflow

    • Create Timeline, set resolution
    • Drag&Drop JPG Photos from different folders
    • Align and Zoom
    • Save Timeline as ALE
    • Extract RAW Files
    • Reconform Files to Re-link from JPG to RAW
    • Color Grade
    • Export single images to TIF



    Extraction an Re-Linking
    A batch of JPG and its partner RAW files will be extracted from a branched folder structure and copied into one folder. The files are originated from a drag and drop edit of JPG files into a Davinci Resolve timeline. Files are filtered by an exported ALE timeline file.
    Camera RAW files will then be converted into DNG files by the help of the integrated Adobe DNG converter whereas it’s corresponding RAW and JPG file will be erased to guarantee clean re-linking.

    Timeline Photos need to be re-linked from JPG to DNG to enable the edit from 8bit to 16bit. This can be done by Davinci Resolve itself.

    Note: You need to download Adobe Digital Negative Converter to use functionality of DNG File Cleanup. Make sure to use correct folder settings.
    Please read also the Manual to get more information. Have fun...

    Helping photographers boost their business and productivity, while helping to build trust and customer confidence, Canon U.S.A. Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced the beta version of the Company’s first photographer matching service Image Connect, making the process of finding and hiring a photographer that you can trust that much simpler. The company also launched a Photo Culling plug-in for Adobe Lightroom Classic to support the workflow needs of photographers.

    “With a deep rooted heritage in imaging expertise, our company has built a trusted reputation in providing tools and services to professional photographers that help better their craft and support them in building their business with confidence,” said Kazuto Ogawa, president and chief operating officer, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “Services, such as Image Connect, will provide professional photographers with a great value proposition, offering reliability and peace of mind for their customers that can in turn increase their business opportunities as well as their productivity.”

    Powered by the Canon Computer Vision AI engine, the new Photo Culling Plugin for Adobe Lightroom Classic can save photographers countless hours in post-production by using technical models to cull for image sharpness, noise, exposure, contrast, closed eyes, and red eyes. Analyzed images will be flagged with different colored flags to remain true to the native Adobe Lightroom Classic experience*. The photographer also has the ability to customize the settings within each technical model to remain in complete control. The Photo Culling plug-in will be available exclusively on the Adobe Exchange App Marketplace for a monthly subscription.

    Both services are currently scheduled to be available in Q1 2020.

    With Photoshop Camera you can capture, edit, and share stunning photos and moments – both natural and creative – using real-time Photoshop-grade magic right from the viewfinder, leaving you free to focus on storytelling with powerful tools and effects. Leveraging Adobe Sensei intelligence, the app can instantly recognize the subject in your photo and provide recommendations, and automatically apply sophisticated, unique features at the moment of capture (i.e. portraits, landscapes, selfies, food shots), while always preserving an original shot. It also understands the technical content (i.e. dynamic range, tonality, scene-type, face regions) of the photo and automatically applies complex adjustments.

I've been using mygearvault android app but I don't like it very much and I don't like the way it handles information too: you have to create an account to use it and it focuses on the price of the items and insurance stuff. I would prefer a more traditional and private software. I don't care about synchronization between devices either

    On1 Photo RAW 2018 and 2019 https://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/17900/on1-photo-raw-2018-and-2019 Wed, 04 Oct 2017 08:24:44 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 17900@/talks/discussions image

    PR

    New ON1 Photo RAW coming at the end of the month. There will be a free public beta of this latest release available this Friday (October 6th). Along with the essential tools and features needed in a photography workflow, ON1 Photo RAW 2018 includes key updates to the fast, non-destructive raw processing engine. Photographers will now have an integrated tool with accelerated photo management, precise photo development, hundreds of customizable photo effects, fast and beautiful HDR, pano stitching, masking and blending adjustments, layers, and much more – in one app.

    From the beginning the ON1 community has driven the development of ON1 Photo RAW based on what’s most important to you. Almost every feature and improvement made to the app in version 2018 is a direct result of community input through the ON1 Photo RAW Project. This type of transparency is what you can continue to expect from our team. This process has solidified ON1 Photo RAW as the app designed by photographers for photographers.

    ON1 Photo RAW 2018 will be updated and enhanced in many areas. Key new features will include the following.

    • ON1 HDR – Create stunning HDR photos that merge all tonality from a bracket of photos in a fraction of the time (test results have shown up to seven times faster than other HDR apps). Automatically aligns photos and removes ghosting from motion between exposures. Includes full non-destructive editing with natural results and can be turned up to 11 for a surreal look.
    • Pano Stitching – Combine multiple photos into a single panoramic or matrix photo. Automatically aligns photos, even if they are not shot on a tripod, and blends them together seamlessly. An option to embed panoramic metadata for Facebook panning is also available.
    • Global Mask Editing Tools – These include new mask Density and Feather sliders to allow for changing the density or opacity of masks as well as blur masks for softening.updated
    • Luminosity Mask Updates – Adjust the levels of a mask to increase the contrast or brightness as well as set a tonal window to only affect a certain zone. These updates allow users to target just the area they want, based on the photo.
    • Color Range Masks – Create a mask from a color range selection.
    • Blur and Chisel Mask Tools – In ON1 Effects, the Blur and Chisel mask tools are now included. The blur tool is perfect for softening or feathering a mask selectively. The Chisel tool lets the user push or pull the edge selectively, to remove halos. All of these new masking options are re-editable and non-destructive.
    • Versions — Versions are virtual copies of the same photo. Each version created can include non-destructive settings, including crop, retouching and adjustments. Versions work just like any other photo without taking up more space on your computer.
    • Updated UI — Clean and modern UI where your photo is the center of attention. Custom name filters and layers to easier keep track of work. Also select your own UI accent color.
    • Paint with Color Brush — Painting with color can be a solid color, perfect for skin smoothing and making annotation layers, or paint with just the color and leave the underlying luminosity in place to change the color of objects like eyes.
    • Selectively Add or Remove Noise — Brush away noise in areas like skies or add noise for an artistic effect.
    • ON1 Photo for Mobile — Take the best shots with you on the go with the free ON1 Photo for Mobile app. It’s a great way to share portfolios. It can also sync new photos taken on phones back to the desktop so those photos are ready for editing.
    • Additional Camera & Lens Support — Added support for the Nikon D850, Olympus EM-10 III and Panasonic DMC-G85, plus a ton of new lenses.

    ON1 Photo RAW 2018 will differentiate itself from other apps by allowing photographers to both browse and catalog their photos from the very beginning of their workflow. This hybrid system provides one of the fastest ways to manage and organize photos. The ultra fast photo browser is perfect for quickly viewing and culling through photos without having to wait on an import process. Once the culling process is complete, the ability to create and catalog those photos is the next step in most common workflows.

    There is plenty more available within the apps non-destructive workflow in terms of photo development. These features include re-editable adjustments such as exposure, contrast, color, shadows, highlights, lens correction, and transform tools. The hundreds of unique photo effects are also perfect for finishing off your photos to add that extra punch. Photographers have complete control of how each effect is applied using masking brushes, gradients masks, and local adjustments. Each effect is also completely customizable to save any look as a custom preset.

    Photo editing technologies such as live blending options, apply to, smart layers, smart photos, and mask refinement tools also make ON1 Photo RAW 2018 a more advanced pixel editor without having to launch a separate app. The ability to combine photos together with layers, masks, and selectively apply filters and effects to raw photos gives users a big advantage.

    Don’t let the name fool you; ON1 Photo RAW 2018 isn’t just for raw files. Supported file formats include JPEG, TIF, PSD, PSB, PNG, and DNG are supported and benefit from the speed, performance, and abundance of editing tools in the app. Photo RAW 2018 also continues to work seamlessly within current photography workflows. The app integrates as a plug-in for Adobe® Lightroom® and Photoshop® and further builds its case as a complete standalone photo editor. Version 2018 also integrates with the major cloud services to allow for uploading, managing and editing photos across multiple computers. This also allows users to sync photos and their edits across multiple computers or in a studio setting.

    Price and Availability
