Any chance you need an assistant?<br /><br />And to the previous commenter - I've found that the default levels of noise removal and banding suppression in capture one are way too high, turning them both to zero gives much improved definition in the areas you're talking about.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03081806909274339429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644629870779379729.post-18049253999846211792009-09-08T17:34:26.161-07:002009-09-08T17:34:26.161-07:00Not sure if I should comment on this here, but sin...Not sure if I should comment on this here, but since you may know and educate me, here goes:<br /><br />I dropped in at an exhibition sponsored by Phase One in Kobe this weekend; you could play with the backs on a set of cameras (Mamiya, mostly, but a Hasselblad too) and there was an exhibition of location portraits of a sort by a Japanese photographer.<br /><br />The thing is, when I looked closely at the results, they were rather underwhelming. It was as if some step in the process is applying rather aggressive noise reduction even at base sensitivity, completely killing low-contrast, fine detail. Edges look fine and all, but subtle things did not. <br /><br />The hair of people, especially, would mostly look just fine, but where the detail gets really fine towards the top of the head, it would all completely disappear, and be just a flat brown patch. I would have expected it to sort of fade gently into mottled low-level noise, like it does with normal DSLR-level cameras. This looked more like a really high-resolution P&S, with that characteristic plastic no-noise and nothing-else-either approach. The kind you get with a threshold median filter or similar approach.<br /><br />I dismissed it as the choice of that particular photographer; he liked his images completely noise free, and damn the fine detail, I assumed. But a couple of days ago, Dejikame Watch (a Japanese site) posts a preview/review of the P40+, and the very first sample image, at iso 50, shows exactly the same approach of zero noise but loss of fine details (in the leafy crowns of trees, in this case). A couple of other base iso images seem to exhibit the exact same thin. Here's the link to the review:<br /><br />http://dc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/review/special/20090907_313117.html<br /><br />So I have to wonder, is this considered the expected and desirable output from these backs? Is it feasible to turn it off, or is it something you'll have to live with? It's almost not visible at all in the portraits.Jan Morenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06834641501438709866noreply@blogger.com
