Improvements in Converter EX

[apb]

So far we have:

Improved features
1. resizable preview window + zoom function
2. list of cued files
3. auto generated histogram with RGB and master values + point tracking
4. faster redraw of preview
5. the ability to choose your destination folder
6. the ability to choose 1/6th stop sensitization increments
7. Much smoother curves adjustments
8. Rotating of images

Needed Features:
1. the ability to remove images from the que, without having to quit the program.
2. the ability to process/preview que'd images out of sequence.
3. Still needs the ability to use custom profiles or to pass along a true 'raw' unprofiled image for use in Camera Profiling Software.
4. Curves adjustment still needs individual channel adjusters
5. Need to be able to rename the processsed files
6. a hue/saturation tool would be appreciated.

Issues:
1. EX crashed on me when I 'click balanced' too rapidly



----------------------------

I would also add that FUJI really needs to look at Kodak's Photo Desk software and Phase One's CaptureOneDSLR software. If FUJI wants to be a serious player in the professional market, then it's software needs to be as professional as the competition's

7. The ability to cue up more than one 'process' of the same .raf file - for instance so I can process one version for better highlight detail, and one for better shadow detail, without having to re-cue the .raf file.

Issues with Converter EX v2

2. Rotating the preview image in Converter EX does not generate a rotated tiff file - not a big deal, but annoying.

3. Image preview in Converter EX 'out of focus'; I use IViewMedia Pro for image management - it previews the exif jpg buried within the RAF file nicely: A sharp image in IViewMedia, previews as a soft focus image in Converter EX. I extracted the exif jpeg, and processed the image as a 16bit tiff, and both of these are sharp opened up in photoshop.

4. If I want to zoom in to 100%, Converter EX has to do it in multiple steps - it would be nice to at least have a pull down menu to choose a preset level of zoom.

5. After processing the file, Converter EX 'loses track' of where it put the processed file.

6. After you process the image, and you do not have any other images que'd up, you cannot Save or Load the settings. Sure you can cue another image to activate the save button, but why not make it simple?
