![]() ![]() I try it on/off a few times to see what I like then maybe manually adjust to something in between, or just let it happen as it does better than the in-camera matrix metering. One thing I like about Silkypix is an auto "metering" button that analyses the image and comes up with what it thinks is the best adjustment to exposure to keep whites white etc. In my case slowly zeroing in on an E-PL5 set that I like, lots of fiddles like backing off the green (Silkypix just lurves to make green into GREEN) and backing off red as the Sony sensor seems a bit red enthusiastic. Once a happy set of adjusts is created then a custom Taste is written to be able to apply anytime later to any RAW. But it's too darn expensive at something like US$265 now, should be maybe a bit less than half that. In my case I find Silkypix easiest to use, very much a run down the adjustments top to bottom thing with extra sliders everywhere for everything if needed. The most important bit is to have a calibrated IPS monitor, otherwise it's all a bit hit and miss as to what you get. Anyway start here and maybe it's of some help. Oly Oz started some basic help but seemed to fizzle out before they got to really helpful stuff, like how best to get results that you like. I'm especially interested in extracting as much fine detail as possible, as well as controlling noise and recovering underexposed shots. If there is nothing detailed relating to that specific program, perhaps some might have recommendations for an introductory tutorial regarding raw processing in general? I have never really processed raw files before for various reasons, and need some guidance as to what I can do that will give me things I cannot get from shooting JPEG. I learned a fair bit by fiddling around with the program, but was hoping there might be some sort of detailed tutorial (PDF, webpage, book, video, whatever) on using the program, especially as a raw processor. I've been experimenting with Olympus Viewer 3 for processing raw shots with my E-M1.
