Title: Accuraw
Post by: myotis on October 03, 2016, 11:37:52 am

Does anyone use Accuraw?

I bought a copy some time ago (when trying to process x-trans files), and found the choice of settings a bit too technical for me, but I see it has been recently updated and that there is a dedicated monochrome version.

Neither version ever seems to get a mention (or a review), and I just wondered if anyone used it and what they thought the benefits were.

Cheers,

Graham

I often use Sandy's PhotoRaw on my iPad. It's a much simplified version of AccuRaw but does the basic conversion job very well. In the desktop/laptop market I suspect it's hard to get large-scale traction with anything other than a full-blown editing suite. On tablets a more modular approach typically works out fine.

Thanks. I understand the point about the full blown editing suites, but I know that some people seem to have a toolkit of converters that they use for different things. e.g. DXO for Nikon 1 and Iridient for X-trans etc.

Nice that AccuRaw is still here and being updated, so I assume some people are using it.
