Under low light conditions, the noise level also becomes more obvious... generally, I find that ISO 800 and above on the NEX system generally lends itself to much noise on the photo... I tried taking a few shots using the RAW function in the camera. I realised that in order for me to open and edit Sony's RAW format... I need to use their proprietary program called "Image Data Converter v4.0". This program is one of the worst in picture processing - it's slow, slow and slow!
Surely after putting out such an outstanding product Sony would have thought about ensuring that its RAW format can be processed on more common programs like photoshop! Honestly, this Sony RAW format is a big turn-off for me! I like to shoot in RAW but I cannot process the image directly in Photoshop.
After a painful 30mins of waiting... here are the end results...
This image was processed in Nik's Silver Efex Pro 2
Noticed that the lens is just not wide enough! SONY - You need to do something about the lens variety & fast!
Timothy Chia from Singapore LCOR here... well if you would like to try taking raw again, you could try this raw processer "raw therapee" which is a freeware program that processes raw from Sony and inputs 16-bit .tiff format into Photoshop. Hope this may help
ReplyDeleteI forgot to include the webpage of the program, here it is: http://rawtherapee.com/blog/rawtherapee-4.0.7-released
ReplyDeleteThanks Tim, long time no see! I see that you are into photography as well! Thanks for the advise, i just realised that Camera Raw6.6 in Photoshop is able to edit Sony RAW file as well.
