 Topic: RAW Converter (PS CS5)Posted: 23 February 2012 at 03:42 |
|
I took the a65 for a test drive yesterday with my own cards and glasses. I can't open RAW as it seems that the a65's not supported by PS CS5. The a55 RAW is also not supported by PS CS5.
I'm informed by another a65er to use Lightroom 3.6 but is there a plug-in for PS CS 5? Just another question? Is the a900 and a850 RAW supported by PS CS5? |

I know the A900/A850 is supported by lightroom. I imagine it's the same engine.
I had this problem when the A850 came out, Aperture at the time only supported the A900, even though the RAW format is the same; At the time I circumvented it by patching the RAW files to say A900 instead of A850 - what I'm getting at is , it just seems likely it doesn't know the camera model yet. Until then you can use TIFF files converted by Sony? |

Thanks, Mitchins. That would a sizable problem as I need to be able to adjust WB in RAW before conversion to TIFF. Sorry, never used Lightroom before so is WB adjustment possible in Lightroom?

I'm not sure, I'm 100% sure Aperture does it though. (It's a RAW fine-tuning option). It's likely Lightroom does everything PS does though.
Have you checked for an update to Adobe Camera Raw? |

I'm on the IBM platform so don't think Aperture's going to be workable. Not sure of the RAW patch in CS5.
Since I'm a subscriber at PhaseOne for quite some time, I'm going to explore the possibilities of using CaptureOne Express for RAW converssion... 49 Euros Edited by blinztree - 23 February 2012 at 04:26 |

Yes, you can definitely adjust white balance in Lightroom.
You can also update your copy of Ps CS5 to Adobe Camera Raw 6.5, which supports the A65 and A77. And yes, that will read A900 raw files quite nicely as well. |

That somehow reminds me of a story a friend of mine told me about a group of Harley Davidson motorcycle riders in Paris. They'd apparently watched all the right movies and knew how to play the part -- except they apparently hadn't quite figured out that an appropriately Parisian peck on the cheek didn't quite fit the biker gang image. :-)

After downloading the trail version of Lightroom 3 and compared to CS5, I do find it extremely, very busy with features and information... not necessary a good thingie.
Although it allows WB adjustment in RAW, it badly lacks a dropper tool among other more important and necessary features. The most important observation I see that the speed and conversion process is very slow. Lightroom is not for me. |

blinztree - something isn't right here. My copy of LR3 has a dropper tool for WB adjustment, and it's plenty fast on my two-year-old 13" MacBook. IIRC, when I first installed LR, it tried to create 1:1 previews for every photo on my computer, which would have hogged resources for hours if I had not picked up on it and changed the settings.
Also, I'm pretty sure the RAW conversion engine is common to CS and LR, so there shouldn't be any difference in speed or IQ between them. What I can certainly agree with is that LR has quite a steep learning curve (I believe the impending LR4 has tried to address that, to some extent). Edited by Mink - 23 February 2012 at 10:27 |
