marcdraco Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 This is from another thread - looking at the demosaicing feature in Raw. I noted that AP on Windows "only" has the Serif engine which bears a striking resemblance to AMaZE (which would make sense as it's so highly regarded). However, there are multiple other algorithms out there including ones to deal with high noise images like this one. I wonder if we could have some alternative engines built in so we can take a crack to see what produces the best initial results off the sensor before we start fiddling?

Saijin_Naib Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 It'd be great if the Serif RAW engine worked properly with RAW files that had multiple sub-frames as well as offering differing demosaic algorithms. I'm in firm support of your request. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcdraco Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 Multiple sub-frames? Is that one of those new fangled cameras that shifts the sensor a hair for three exposures one for each colour? (Not joking, I hear they can do that now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not joking, I hear they can do that now) Yeah, and some older cameras from Fuji and others would develop parts of the sensor differently to expand dynamic range, etc. I have an X-S1 which does that. The Serif RAW engine is abysmal at processing my RAFs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give the Beta a try with some old (non critical) files. It may be more to your liking.

The slightest of improvements in color and shadow detail rendition, and now the X-S1 Lens Profile is applied properly. Clipping is still a massive problem, and it is still far from ideal/usable.
