Hi Xavier,
this is a very interesting and telling demonstration.
The Leica zoom is way better in terms of definition - I don't know if
the circumstances of the shoot are the same (diaph, vitesse, ISO, etc.),
but the picture looks crisper, the details finer; way better.
You seems to enjoy your gear a lot.
Sunny weekend? Time for a stroll in Paris, and for a harvest of pixles
to share. :-D
BTW - did you get the white balance adjusted automatically or have you
fine-tuned it?
Wating for news and pixes.
Amitiés
Philippe

Hello Gents
Latest news, as I could not crack the SilkyPix Protection :( and due
to the high value of Euro, I bought a full home version.....
Although one find good tips in the manual, reading it is compulsory as
the software is not intuitive. Er, the MMI is disposed a different way
from common softwares.
I had a couple of RAW, one from the SP Tamron and the other from the
Vario Elmar.
Against all odds, the Tamron is not that bad (it was really OK with a
film base) but in digital, the Vario Elmar shows it off.
The picture is my neighbour's balcony decoration, we call it Sarko's
Cat, be warned, each are 2 meg.
With the Tamron SP:

With the Vario Elmar 80-200

Both were processed in silkypix the same way.
My conclusions? The Tamron SP is giving chromatic blurried edges and
there is a slight color cast while the colors are better rendered by
the vario Elmar and the edges are sharp.
In fact Silky pix can dissolve a lot of blurr and chromatic
aberration. To see what I mean you need to look closely at the pine
cone in the bottom of the image. And the image has been worked out.
the original image from Tamron showed a lot more defaults in the details.
To demonstrate the power of Silkypix, I have reworked the image of
last week, here is the picture from the Digilux, downsized to 220K:

and here is the noise cleaned picture from SilkyPix, off the RAW file,
575K:

Promise, I won't bug you again with these tests, however, for me, the
power of the post processing is a discovery
