Did anyone have problems with downloading and installing sigma software on macbook pro. I am trying and the disk image I get is not working and after trying to mount it with toast i managed but the SPP application says it won’t run on this architecture. // I would really like to get this working before I buy a camera …

Well anyway thanks // and it’s really a great blog

HI Carl,

Many many thanks for this…really appreciated it. As it is I am blown away by the colour fidelity of the dp1. I have put off buying a dslr because I am very used to film and its colour fidelity. I have not come across any dsalr that comes close to kodachrome, fujichrome and the dp1 is actually pretty close.

Am looking forward to the fix in spp2.4….

Thanks again and keep up all the great work:-)

Hi Tuck,

The answer is simple. SPP 2.4 (PC) don’t have proper color management. SPP 3.1 Mac has. The PC version will be fixed pretty soon I heard, this will be a problem only for a short while. A bird sang to me that colors will get improved too. Didn’t think it was possible. ;)

Hi Carl,

I downloaded the spp2.4 for the dp1 and also your dp1rawpack. What I did was just view the x3f files and then save as is into jpg ( medium 4.5mb, highest jpg quality 12, sRGB windows) and also as a comparison in tiff( 16bit). Then I viewed again in spp2.4 and noticed that the original x3f file are a look sharper, punchier than either the jpg or the tiff. BTW I am using an ibm laptop x60s with a 12 inch screen and the differences is very visible, nevermind a full print.

Can you tell me if the Mac spp will give different results and also if you are aware of the issues above. Last question, am I missing any other save options which will give me a very close result to the original x3f file.

Thanks again for all the great work. I am considering the dp1 against the nikon d60..

Carl. Great work you do. Any chance of getting a RAW night shot? With say 800 ISO? I shoot a lot in low light and really want to know how much noise I can expect before purchasing. If you do it, I would appreciate a 28mm or 35mm look on a street scene (perhaps) and a medium body shot to see skins. Sorry to be picky. Thx

And, everyone can now download SPP 2.4 PC here. Let’s hope it stays that way for some time. :) (link in the above article)

Jan!

I forgot to answer your first question. There is no lagtime if you use manual focus. If you use AF then it’s the time it takes to wait for AF to look. Often very fast. But more lag. :)

Hi Charles,

The fill light function is for bringing more dynamic range into the picture. (highlight gets darker and shadows lighter) Some like it, some don’t. I almost never use it. If I do then 0.1 or something is the maximum. :D

Fun to play with.

Hi Jan!

It’s easy and can be done with any camera.

You underexpose your shot when taking it. (picture comes out dark) – then you compensate that with the exposure slider in your raw developer software. (In this case SPP3.1)

Woala, you now have the ISO you want. All the way up to ISO6400 is possible. Bit with higher ISO comes noise. So with higher ISO I normally convert to black and white. Looks cool. :)
