Fast RAW Rendering - it can be done!

Have you seen the latest software "FastRawViewer" ? (www.fastrawviewer.com).
They are rendering several RAW images per second! - And in good quality also...
They are using "modern processors and video cards to process RAW images".
Very interesting. My question is: It was told to this forum, that it is not possible to improve speed with graphic cards for rendering RAWs in Lightroom... well it can be done! If this team is capable to improve rendering times so vastly it should be possible for Adobe also. Adobe has much, much more ressources and money than this small team!
Just to clarify: It is not my intentio to advertise this software. I haven't even bought it - yet. I love Lightroom and it is my main photographic software. I want it to improve. The biggest problem for me is rendering speed, and it will get worse with next generation cameras. We now have D800/D810, rumors say we will get 46 to 50 MP sensors in 2015.
My point is: It is absolutely possible to make RAW rendering much, much faster than what we have now in Lightroom. This software proves this in a big way. Severel RAW in a second compared to seconds for one RAW (Nikon D800)... come on Adobe and learn from this software/team!
To Adobe: Why are you not doing the same? - would make a LOT of LR users happy!
Thanks for hearing us...

Yes, it is not an editor, I know. But I am not talking about the editing, but the rendering of the picture from the RAW. Both (LR und FastRAWViewer) need ot render and there is a BIG difference in the speed of this rendering process between the two (maybe factor 10 to 20?!).
If LR would only improve the RAW rendering with factor 5 to 10 it would be a HUGE help for many LR users...

There is also a difference in what they have to do even to render an image, so I'm not sure it's comparing like-with-like.  LR raw rendering has to apply all the edits made to the image. 
Generally I find that D800 raw images are rendered in a fraction of a second on my 4-year-old PC.  It takes longer for 100% previews (up to 7 seconds in Library module to render fully a D800 raw plus edits).  Nice if it were quicker, but it has to process all the edits on the image.

    You'll need to update to at least ACR 8.2 for the 70D to be recognized.  The normal way to update PSE12 to the latest CR is to use Help / Updates in the Editor which should update to ACR 8.5.
    According to Adobe's website PSE12 shipped with ACR 8.1 and you say it says yours is reported as ACR 8.0.
    Are you using PSE 11 and not 12?  PSE 11's maximum ACR version is 8.0.

    You can get the camera raw 8.8 updater from here for photoshop cc 2014

    There is as of yet no update for lightroom 5
    http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2015/03/camera-raw-8-8-now-available.html
    You would need to convert the files to dngs first before lightroom would read them.

    First off, this image is not a raw image.  It is a compressed small-raw of some sort so Adobe's normal demosaicking algorithms are not being employed, and Adobe is having to reverse engineer R, G, B channels from Y, Cb, Cr channels, so something may be non-optimal this conversion.
    Secondly, at least with this non-raw Y, Cb, Cr image, there are some Y pixels that have zero value in the file, so no matter what you do, other than adjusting the bottom of the tone curve above zero, they will be clipped.
    It also seems that the clipping indicator triangles are not affected by the Detail settings so turning off any noise-reduction or sharpening is required show you which pixels the clipping triangle is keying off of.
    Here is your image opened in an RawDigger which is a raw analysis program that indicates the Y channel does have a minimum value of 0:
    Here is a screenshot of LR with a very small crop on the shadowed background area above the performers, with the Detail settings turned off--no noise reduction or sharpening, and the Toning settings as bright as possible, and in that small crop area, there are a few black pixels that are highlighted blue if I turn on the clipping indicator, so it's not surprising, that with this image, at least, the black clipping indicator doesn't turn off very easily.  In this side-by-side, they have the same settings, but the Before image is without the clipping indicator and the After image is with the clipping indicator engaged so you can see the 4 pixels that are 0 in the tiny cropped area:
    Here is a DNG of the settings as in the above LR screenshot, other than the embedded preview that appears to be the entire image not the tiny cropped area:

  • Raw file edited in Lightroom don't show edited in PSE

    I have edited pictures taken in raw format in Lightroom, and imported them later in pse 7. When I import them, they are not edited, but the original file.
    How do I make PSE read the edited information instead?
    Thanks in advance
    Kanolsen

    Thanks for a very quick reply, and congratulations with passing 1000 postings!
    I tested it again, and I upgraded to LR 2.4 today, and it didn't create an .xmp file. I found this article which makes LR create an .xmp file. Now PSE can see the changes I've made in LR.
    I tried to install Adobe Camera Raw 5.4, but got an error message "Photoshop Camera Raw (64bit), Can not install. Click cancel". I have camera raw 4.5 and I don't have a 64bit system. I can't find any 5.4 for 32bit system?
    I didn't see any edits I had previously done in Lightroom in PSE's organizer, nor did the raw file have any modified timestamp.
    I really like PSE organizer for tagging pictures so I find them easily, and I have gotten used to Lightroom for editing my files after I got more interested in taking pictures, LR is a lot easier to quickly modifying a lot of pictures compared to PSE where you have to open editor for each and every picture (making sure I can't be bothered fixing up the pics). So my workflow is to import to LR and modifying the pictures to my liking, and then importing them in PSE organizer for looking at them later. I don't use LR for looking at pictures later on. Is that an OK way of doing it, or is there an easier way?
    Perhaps I should import as .DNG file to reduce the dependency on the .xmp file?
    Thanks again for a quick reply, I have been slower to reply as I had to check and recheck what was happening.

  • RAW rendering in Picasa and Lightroom

    Hi I have some questions regarding camera RAW rendering in Lightroom.
    When I opened my RAW image with Picasa, Picasa initially shows the embedded JPG preview and then it shows the RAW color of my image (which the color is true to reality). However when I imported my RAW file to lightroom, my lightroom shows me the embedded JPG preview (magneta) even in the develop module. Can anyone tell me does this happen? I tried to open my RAW file in Photoshop elements and DXO Optic Pro 9 too and both of them render my RAW file as how Lightroom renders (magneta)
    On the left - how Picasa renders my RAW file (the color is true to reality) ; on the right - how Lightroom renders my RAW file (magneta)

    When I opened my RAW image with Picasa, Picasa initially shows the embedded JPG preview and then it shows the RAW color of my image (which the color is true to reality).
    I disagree with that statement, Picasa does not provide "color is true to reality". It provides one of an infinite number of appearances, as decided by the manufacturer of the software. You may like it better, but it is not "true to reality".
    Both RAW editors make decisions about how to display a RAW, and both RAW editors use a certain algorithm to make those decisions. The algorithms will not match, and will not produce the same results. One is not superior to the other. If the appearance of the RAW in Lightroom is not pleasing to you, then you have a huge number of tools to modify the appearance to get it to something you like. In particular, Lightroom offers camera profiles for many cameras that can automatically modify the appearance of a RAW photo to much closer match what the camera maker wants.

  • What can be done so that these files do not eat up all the disk space.

    Dear Adviser
    This is NOT a bug report or an enhancement request.
    We are looking for advice on a customer support call.
    We are using iPlanet Webserver 4.1 SP7 and iPlanet Directory
    Server 4.12 on Solaris 2.8.
    We are checking to see if there is any engineering
    documentation or quick pointers on LDAP database file
    sizes and cache file sizes that may relate to a
    reported problem.
    Thank you for your time and co-operation in advance.
    We have been working on a TIBCO/Portal Builder customer
    issue that does not seem to have guidance in end
    user documentation. This is related to a significant
    increase in LDAP and cache file sizes (which at this
    point do NOT seem to affect any performance). Is this
    something that you are aware of from your QA/performance
    tests? The problem seems to have suddenly cropped
    up and we are attempting to isolate the triggerring event.
    We started with the possibility that it is
    a. Solaris Platform issue
    OR
    b. LDAP issue
    We have done several experiments to isolate specific
    issues as described below. We have researched
    Sun/iPlanet web site and technical sites on the net.
    Currently, we believe that the LDAP database size is increasing
    because the Portal has been configured with pages
    that have a lot of "Personalized" panes. Users are visiting
    these pages, and getting automatically subscribed to these
    panes, which add corresponding entries in the LDAP server.
    Please find below the listing of all the files (from LDAP
    DB directory) which are growing very fast. Kindly advise what can be
    done so that these files do not eat up all the disk space.

    This may be perfectly normal behavior for the LDAP server. If some application is adding a lot of data to the server, the database will necessarily grow. You can look at the access log to find out the IP address of the client, the BIND dn of the client, and the operations from that client. Perhaps this will help you narrow down the culprit.

  • I have upgraded my MAC OS to 10.6.8.  FCP 5.0 still runs great, but Soundtrack Pro 1.01 opens, but operates at a glacial pace.  It does not functionally operate.  What can be done to remedy this?

    I have upgraded my MAC OS to 10.6.8. 
    Final Cut Pro 5.0 still runs great, but Soundtrack Pro 1.01 opens, but operates at a glacial pace.  It does not functionally operate. 
    What can be done to remedy this?

    Depending on the configuration of the computer hardware and software
    you may need to consider upgrade the RAM by installing more capacity.
    Also, in the same vane, choose to consider upgrade the hard drive to
    one of faster transfer, such as SSD, hybrid, or fusion; if not already at
    least 7200-RPM and not too full of saved content.
    Since no information is given about the model build configuration of Mac
    there may be other suggestions to make it work better. Usually an OS X
    upgrade requires one to look at the hardware resources available to it.
    The OS X works best with more memory: new higher capacity chips.
    This may be possible, and they should be high quality from reputable
    vender who has tested them on Apple in OS X, such as OWC or Crucial.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    I want to by an X-Fi Soundcard.
    Is it possible, foraexample, to set up a few parametric equalizers for each audio channel?
    If yes, how many?
    The X-Fi site tells about the instruction set and the architecture of the chip. Is it possible to write own "Soundshaders"? I mean own effets, which can be processed in Hardware and can be aplied to all 2D and 3D voices.
    Nvidia has this FX-Studio to develop FragmentShaders for their Graphiccards.
    I simply can't believe that the "entertainment mode" uses up all resources of this chip. A 0band Equalizer is for me something to laugh at, you know.
    I want to compensate all the parasitic effects in my room.
    I want to correct the resonaces, the frequency plot of my speakers(down to 25Hz if possible), of course the resonances of my speakers.
    If you tell me, that it can't be done in gaming mode, because of performance lacks. That wouldn't be a problem, as i only intend to listen to music.
    Can anyone tell me what can be done and what can't.

  • De-authorizing itunes? Several of my authorized pc's have died, and have no way to deauthorize iTunes on them. Now I am unable to synch purchases on my Iphone to new computer with iTunes because I already have 5 computers authorized. What can be done?

    Several of my authorized pc laptops and desktops have completely died over the years, and have no way to deauthorize iTunes on them. Now I am unable to synch purchases on my Iphone to new computer with iTunes because I already have 5 computers authorized. What can be done?

    Deauthorise all to reset to zero, then authorize again.
    Following quote from Apple Support:
    If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
    Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
    If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
    Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
    In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
    Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).

  • Delivery completed indicator set still goods receipt can be done

    Dear SAPians,
    I have created a P.O of say 100 quantity against which i made a goods receipt of 50 quantity.
    After this i have set the delivery complited indicator in P.O but still i can make goods receipt.
    how do i stop these the GRNs
    Regards
    Sujit

    Dear Sujit,
    Just as what Kedar said, Delivery Complete is just an "indicator". It is used for MRP planning purposes and you can still perform receiving even with this indicator checked.
    To block receiving there are 3 ways to do it, i would recommend no.1.
    1) Change the quantity according to receipt quantity.
    2) Set the lock button for the particular line item, which is proposed by many in this forum. However i think it is not the right solution because, you will not be able to do Invoice Verification(MIRO) after setting the lock button! It also doesnt look nice.
    3) You can use Final Delivery field (set it to today so no further receiving can be done). But you also need to configure system message M7163 to Error for this to work. SAP default only sets this to Warning, where you can still proceed.
    Hope this helps.
