Title: Raw Camera Profiles
Post by: DdeGannes on July 13, 2009, 10:54:14 PM
I today purchased the camera profiles for my two cameras and installed in Qimage. If I revisit files that I made previous adjustments to the raw file will Qimage automatically use the new  profile and adjust the sidecar files or should I delete the old sidecar files (i.e filters etc.)

I have selected "enable custom profiles" in the raw preferences.

Hi Dennis,
Qimage will automatically process the raw file with the new preference settings, i.e. with the custom camera profile and change the *.qrs "sidecar" file accordngly. That's the advantage of "on-the fly" processing.
When I did those comparative samples in the other post (http://ddisoftware.com/tech/qimage/lightroom-qimage/15/), all I did was change my raw prefs with the image in the queue and convert for each preference setting.  8)
Terry.

Thanks Terry, I figured as much but just wanted to be sure.
I started using Qimage back in 2001/2, switched to shooting raw in 2004 and at that time Mike was not adding raw support for new cameras so I began using other software for my raw processing. All my printing up to 13x19 is done in Qimage.

Will have to do a bit of practice with raw processing in Qimage now that I have profiles for my cameras.

You have a similar profile   ;D to me, except I am a little later.
However, I may be ahead on:

If you've not already done so, a MUST is to read this  :)

Thanks for the link Terry, I had a read a couple months ago and just did a review.
