Dave hi,
V8 allows you to create a custom gain file that can be loaded into the back when tethered to either V8 or LC11. It sits under Camera>Calibration>Gain. You can store a library of these files and load them as required, so as you shoot the images come up corrected for casts and falloff.
A simplified version of this process is going to be implemented into LC11 in the near future.

Is Leaf going to continue to support V8?
I will confess that I do not use the full capability of what is possible in this software much less understand all the customized/advanced possibilities. The one thing that I believe is unique is the modular GUI of all the tool pallettes and controls when shooting in a tethered mode. The ability to
control and see all tool pallettes simultaneously without having to navigate through pull down tabs is efficient and comfortable when shooting tethered. Historically software manufacturers
typically abandon or stop supporting previous versions............some times new is not better it is just different. Don't get me wrong, I use V11 and it is an improvement from V10 especially for post production.
The other feature is this 8 shot gain file. I was under the impression this was originally designed to address optical imperfections of the glass filter in front of the CCD for studio product shooters.
In concept, for tethered shooting this works great for removing digital optical anamolies(color casts, vignetting,dust,centerfolds)
In practice, as pixjohn has mentioned, the amount of time it takes to gather the data from 8 shots
is particularly uncomfortable when a client or art director is present.
Yair, can you elaborate why Leaf doesn't make a "simplified version" for V8..............a oneshot gain file that can be uploaded to the back? Particularly since you have mentioned that the custom gain file created in V8 can be used in V11.
thanks
