Title: Flexcolor to DNG question for David Grover @ Hassy
Post by: jimgolden on April 28, 2009, 12:59:05 pm
not to beat a dead horse but...

from Calumet e-flyer "The 3FR files can be converted into Adobe’s raw image format DNG (‘Digital Negative’), bringing this new technology standard to the professional photographer for the first time. In order to utilize DA C and optimize the colors of the DNG file format, conversion from 3FR must take place through FlexColor."

David, care to chime in? am I missing something? I was under the impression that you lose DAC when going to DNG? I see a difference now when I go to DNG - is there something new going on?

thx,
jim

Hi Jim,

The Chromatic Aberration correction has always been applied through the DNG format but not distortion or vignetting.  Looks like an old quote as it mentions FlexColor, not Phocus and I would hardly say DNG is new technology anymore!  

Do you have a link to the eFlyer so I can take a look?

David
