Looking good. Which lens did you use?

28mm on Alpa both images

At the (Beta) moment there is no user White Reference, no Color matrices, no ColorChecker 24 /SG Support !

I'm sure the Sinar eXposure will have the possibility to make Color matrices with the ColorChecker 24, DC and SG in the release version, also it will be possible to make a user White Reference.

its not 1 user white reference what we need for shift lenses. its one reference each shot and it has to be taken untethered.

ps to Mr Brum - you have kept my Sinar on the road for me.

CS5 (and most likely exposure) are too heavy for my laptop - and my desktops are PC

It use brum or upgrade computer for me..

How thick is this plexi. I use standard plexi from my local shop. I think I need something more transparent.

this are two sandwich layers, together about 1cm thick. it works perfect.
if it is just one plexi sometimes you can see the form of dark or bright motif zones shining through the plexi. logically this lowers the contrast if this is applied to the motif and inverted. so sandwich plexis work better than single plexis.

[thsinar]

Yes Rainer is absolutely right, it must diffuse the light efficiently, not creating any kind of spot or graduation. Therefore a certain thickness is necessary.

Will Exposure have the facility to make a WSF for each shot and automatically apply it as Brumbaer does?

[brumbaer]

We could hear it from the horse's mouth, if Goodi would be so kind.

the first version of eXposure won't have that feature to apply a WSF for each shot as Brumbaer does? It will have the possibility to make a color calibration afterwards.

Is the public beta / release candidate coming early April considered a "version"?

Brumbaer Tools

Coming from a D2x I'm used to Photoshop and similar applications.
When I started to use the eMotion digital back, I was disappointed by the speed of the editing software that came with the back. And I was missing the possibility to use standard software on the raw files the back delivers.

So I wrote a set of small utilities that transfer files from the back and convert them to DNG and form the bridge between standard editing software and the raw files created by the eMotion backs.



Stephan

I have been trying to digest your news...........it is unfortunate that you will not continue

development of your "small utilities" that you describe on your web page (sorry for the © infringement).


But in using your tools, I realize how clearly they have been concieved and how efficiently you
 
and your software team have executed your "small utilities".

Your little suite of utilities has set the standard for other medium format digital manufacturers to

evolve............your DNG convertor has reached a state of perfection with regard to issues with

color casts, wideangle vignetting, centerfolds, highly efficient workflow, highlight recovery, and

allowing the enduser to profile the sensor in such a simple and effective manner.

Other than addressing OS changes, what else would you do

to improve your "little utilities" that the major players "software suite" can't even match in terms

of quality and efficiency?



I bought the e75 after testing the results with your tools..........I have actually never tried Sinar's

Capture Shop. I decided to purchase the emotion after meeting with Michael Guthmann @

PhotoEast NY last year. From that meeting I realized Exposure/CS are independent from your

"utilities" and made my purchase decision based completely on the results from

tools/workflow that you and Rainer established...............I figured that if Sinar incorporated the

 Brumbaer DNG in Exposure I may use it as a tethered solution. If they decided not to incorporate

it, it would not matter to me as I am very happy with the excellent file quality and  the untethered

workflow using Brumbaer Tools.



I am sure it was an unusal e75 sale for Jack Strobel@ Calumet............the launching of the Hy6

camera @ PhotoEast was the big marketing push to  boost sales for the Sinar digibacks and here

I was pluncking down money based on a 3rd party software utility. I took delivery of the e75

last week.............there was an Hy6 camera but no Brumbaer Tools.




I hope that Sinar does not adopt a myopic view in terms of the Hy6 and its software(Exposure)

 development. Its a boatload more expensive to develop a new camera just to sell more digital

backs when you can accomplish the same by having the software (BrumbaerTools) that actually

 works efficiently today in a specific market. Particularly since architectural/landscape shooters

have a voracious appetite for large megapixel sensors and there is a turnkey solution with

 Brumbaer Tools for this market.


Stephan.....its been a pleasure using your software utilities instead of the flagship softwares
that are always promising features or fixes in the future. I love the fact that your future is today......if there is a problem or if something can be more efficient, you just solve it today!

What is your thinking about the future of the eMotion Tether utility?

Will you be releasing  a version sometime soon?

If so, can you elaborate on this utilities features and how it works
with the reader and DNG utilities.

Will it be possible to apply the white shading particularly with the
vignetting (lens falloff) feature applied to the file displayed on the
laptop or will this feature remain exclusively on the eMotion DNG?

Hello Prakash,
eMotionTeth is part of the Brumbaer Tools, even it is not released.
I just announced that I will stop supporting the Brumbaer Tools in the last quarter of this year.
For me it does not make any sense to release a product or part of a product when I know that I will stop supporting it.
Also it doesn't make sense for users to use a product and/or base their workflow on a product which will be discontinued.

So there will be no release of eMotionTeth and I'm not handing out copies of it any longer.

Kind regards
SH

Hello Adina,
I can not follow your line of thought, could you please explain what you mean.
