My first pixel shift test: Owl

Hi!

I am impressed about the difference.
Does anyone knows if Ligthroom CC read pixelshift shots properly?
I read it has added compatibility, but I don't know exactly what that means...

thanks!

Lightroom can use pixel shift RAWs from Pentax, and you have to drag the sharpness slider up past 100 for it to take effect if I remember correctly.

Take a look at the page I linked to in the original post for more detail. (No pun intended.) I believe PDCU is better at dealing with movement between the four shots.

Spaninator357: nice! I've got an old 80-320mm Pentax telephoto and a 2x teleconverter, so I'll have to have a go at moon shots, too. Thanks for posting.

but... do you think moon shots are suitable for pixelshift? honestly i dont think so as moon moves when the shots are being taken. I have also tried it but i got sharper and better results with single shots... just a thought...

Yeah, I wouldn't think so, unless you could also have your camera on a rig that tracks the camera at the same time!

No I wouldn't suggest using pixel shift for moon shots without an astrotracer. I am terrible at astrophotography and was amazed the moon came out at all. I was expecting more aberrations.
