Here\u2019s another reinterpretation of an old Lumix RW2 RAW file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On March 31, 2017, I made this pan of a Route 18 tram in the K\u00f6ln, Germany, tram subway using my Lumix LX7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern software has opened up new possibilities for working with my Lumix RW2 files. As I illustrated in yesterday\u2019s post, I converted the RAW file to DNG format using PureRAW 5 with DeepPRIME 3 corrections, then imported the DNG into Lightroom to lighten shadows, adjust color, and improve contrast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve included two versions of the DNG file. The top image is displayed without cosmetic adjustments in Lightroom; the bottom image reflects my Lightroom adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Panasonic Lumix LX7; f1.4, 1\/40th<\/sup>\u00a0second, ISO 80. DeepPRIME3 corrections but without cosmetic adjustments to highlights, shadows or color.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Same file as above following Lightroom adjustments to shadow and highlight detail.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Notice the improved detail in the shadow areas of the adjusted image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
