I don't like the subscription model either, but I'm also pretty tired of Adobe's lack of interest in supporting X-Trans files.  The Fuji files  are much slower to import, slow to generate previews, when moving from one file to the next I get the loading message all the time.  And the demosaicing, although much improved, is still subpar compared to Iridient Developer.

 

I never had these issues with Canon or Olympus raw files.

This is no new "RAW processor".  On a Mac it just uses apple's existing subsystem to de-mosaic RAW files.  From a RAW standpoint it's no different than Photos or Aperture.  Sure, the editing interface has more bells and whistles, but that's different.  That has nothing to do with an actually new "RAW processor".

 

They don't disclose their de-mosaic program for the PC but, given the situation on the mac, I suspect it's some open source package that they did not develop themselves.

 

Update on 6/4: they have now clarified that Photo 10 and Suite 9.5 use Apple's RAW processing but Photo RAW will not.

Adobe is forcing me to leave Lightroom. I refuse to pay the subscription and the current purchased version is their last. Obviously I'm not interested in another software that is subscription... but I'll have to make a choice of something else at some point.

If it is a subsciption model with a yearly fee I defintely will not buy it.

 

It is and it isn't. There will be a standalone price as you can read on their website. And – different to Adobe – you can quit your subscription and keep using the software in its current state – you simply won't get any more updates.

 

I hate subscription software but this is very different from what Adobe is doing.

Here is from on1 website:

"Can I pre-order ON1 Photo RAW?

You can be the first to get ON1 Photo RAW (available Fall 2016) by becoming an ON1 Plus Pro member today. If you want to pre-order the software only, please contact Customer Support. Photo RAW will never require a subscription and will be available for purchase by itself later this year."

I am shocked, if that is indeed the case! What do you base this information on?

I wrote that when their FAQ linked to a support page that explicitly stated it.

 

They have now updated that support page to clarify that Photo RAW will not be based on Apple's RAW subsystem.  The support page was referring to ON1's other products that use Apple's RAW subsystem, Photo 10 and Suite 9.5.

 

https://on1help.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/206277847

 

So what I wrote is now incorrect, however I'm still very skeptical that they can develop a brand-new RAW processor with support for over "800  cameras" in version 1.0.  Something is fishy there.

      Ahoy ye hearties! Hoist ye yon Jolly Roger and Cascade away. NGC 1502 The Jolly Roger Cluster:

      This is the equivalent of 43 minutes, 40 seconds of exposure. NGC 1502 is a neat little cluster located in the Camelopardalis Constellation. This region of space was thought to be fairly empty by early astronomers, but as you can see, there is a lot there. Kemble's Cascade (a.k.a. Kemble 1) is named for Father Lucian Kemble, a Canadian Franciscan friar who wrote about it to Walter Scott Houston, an author for the Sky And Telescope magazine. Houston named the asterism for Fr. Kemble and the name "stuck". NGC 1501 is the Oyster Nebula. A longer focal length telescope is needed to bring this one into good viewing range, but it is well worth the effort.

      55 or 80?

      By BIGOAK · Posted

      Looking for input; there are some decent deals and might want to take advantage to expand my lenses for my 100s already own: 110/2 32-64 35-70 100-200 + TC   Shooting mostly family shots, bringing my kit to capture family outings indoors and out. Tracking the 63/43 effective FLs on the two, but has anybody used both? Would the 55 (covered by two zooms right now) be redundant? Would the 80 be too similar in character to my 110 for portraiture?

      See what I mean? Two instantaneous ads. Worthless.
