Originally posted by house It would be useful to be able to defer the processing. I never use my pixelshift jpegs and only work with the raws. The time spent processing is wasted for only a preview thumbnail. Basing the thumbnail on a single raw would be good enough for preview and histogram.
And no theres no processing required for the raws. Its just 4 raws in one file. Motion correction etc can all be done in postprocessing.
I think the 'handheld pixelshift' is different to the original pixelshift, as it is essentially a 'super-resolution' process which, at this stage, does require to be processed in camera.
To convert the raw files into a final image requires considerably more processing than just taking the R,G, G and B values to make a final image.
