5dMKIII.....taking the picture....Post Processing.....PRINT

[Daniel Browning]

With the MKIII zero correction printing is now possible and the colors look "natural".

I'm glad you're getting good results. There are only three possible explanations for what you see: spectral QE changes in the CFA, updated raw converter software, and/or placebo effect. According to DxO tests, the primary change that Canon made to the CFA from the 5D2->5D3 is that the blue pixels are much less blue -- now they are 25% green and 75% blue. This improves noise performance, but noticably reduces color accuracy for subjects that have blue spectra. But perhaps the blue change is more pleasing, even though it's less accurate.


I think a more likely explanation is just newer raw converter software changes. If so, it would be possible to get the exact same zero-corrections printing from the 5D2.

and/or placebo effect. .

I have to know, was the Nikon D800 able to produce that effect?

No, it creates a reality distortion field. I don't just *think* it's better. It actually *is* better. But only within 10 feet of the camera. For everyone outside of the field, it's worse.

Ha ha! I laughed out loud at that.

@ DB will try using current DPP to process my olr 5dII raw to check if I can get same results.... THANKS DB your posts are always so enlingtening.....

Hi DB I tried converting my old 5DII raw files using the latest DPP i used in converting my 5DIII files..... they stilll needed correcting during print so I guess results I'm getting with 5DIII files are not due to raw converters.....
