Nope, not the liquid kind. The digital RAW kind.

The last four shots on this page do a Hasselblad and Leica 3-shot tone-map versus RPP.

Christopher works in Italy and does the most amazing still lifes. Investigate the RAW photo processor. It's cheap cheap. The images are sharp sharp.

Now the bad news: MAC only. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's the deal breaker.

Besides if you have Lightroom you already have a good raw converter. (and it will get even better in the 3.0 upgrade).

Based on the one sample that Chris posted, the RPP does a much better job with fine detail.

Will this also be true in PS CS4 (ACR)?

For $10 it's worth a shot. Right?

I couldn't find the download link at the RPP page you posted. Is it the highlighted Lightroom and Photoshop wording within the bodycopy?

It might be I'm using an old browser circa 2003 since my new Mac system is currently in repair.

Hey Wayne, you might want to consider changing the title of this thread to reflect you're talking about the Raw Photo Processor product, and not the product named Raw Developer.

[Tim Lookingbill]

No top banner but got the link you provided. Thanks, Wayne.

[venchka]

Thanks Bill. Done. I didn't know of the other product.
