Both on program defaults - WB, contrast etc 'as shot'. Output from each to 1280x848 JPEG, no additional sharpening.
RT is very good, the interface needs simplifying though - there are too many tweak options at the moment. It is also not all that stable at times.
Great thanks for adding those!
Yes, and that is the one downside to open source software.
I've been lucky with this development branch of v4 under x64. Though I'm reading that the stable version has been pretty good too. It's just too bad that the Mac version isn't doing so well.
Originally posted by robgo2 I'm not sure why the Mac version should differ, but as the old saying goes, YMMV. In a personal communication, one of the RT developers told me that it is not ready for prime time.

Yea, it sucks.
Have you considered running it under a Windows VM?
PS. any chance you could post a neutral RPP TIFF?

Bibble 5 Pro is missing in the lineup so I thought I add it here.
Picture No. 1 is the result of Bibble default setting.
Picture No. 2, Bibble has taken out a license with "Perfectly clear" and has this plugin included. This is the result when applying this plugin by merely clicking on the tick box.

Excellent!
I completely forgot about that one.
Oh and I really like Perfectly Clear.
I often use it to correct blue and green channel color fidelity which it seems to do exquisitely.
I think I'm going to redo this case study with 1:1 samples and various focus points(color, demosaic detail and grain quality) and I'll add Bibble Pro, SilkyPix and hopefully PPP as well. Though I knows it is "almost" completely redundant to venture passed the advantages of the basic demosaic process, though I'm hoping this could help others realize where RAW developers stand as far as fundamental image rendering goes.
