RPP - Raw Photo Processor - Any Experience?

[Sam Bacon]

Hi!

Does anyone know/has anyone tried/does anyone use RPP (http://www.raw-photo-processor.com/RPP/Overview.html) in post processing?

I incidentally came across a group of photographers who apologetically claim it is the only raw processor to effectively mimic legendary films (a short list of such at the moment, though). So, I wondered if anyone tried it...

I tried it more than a few times and it may or may not be the most superior processor in the galaxy. The sad thing is I cannot never bear to use it for more than about 15 min because the controls are not real time. (how can this be in today's day and age?).

So basically doing a few minor color and density adjustments that should take about 2 min in any other program takes about 15 min in RRP.

If you are really really really patient and don't mind adding values numerically or else hitting the refresh button over and over gain then you might be able to see some benefit to using it.

In head to head comparisons of outputs, RRP did have a different feel from other processors, not really sure if better or worse because I could never get the adjustments to my likings no matter how long I muddled with the extremely clunky interface.

Try it out and let us know. If controls were real time , it could be powerful.

You can spend couple of hours trying to find right settings - after this time you understand how it works and you can set up basic template which you will use for most of your RAWs. With this basic preset you are much faster and rest of your work is within Photoshop ...

I love this RAW converter
