I've uploaded a new set of PP3 files. They have a lot of revisions, so here's a quick list of what's new and/or changed.
The ISO PP3 files have been reduced to Conservative & Aggressive. L*a*b* type is used for Conservative & RGB is used for Aggressive. Noise reduction has been set to the basic minimum for all ISO PP3 files. Each ISO PP3 file has its own sharpening settings for Unsharp Mask, RL Deconvolution, & Capture Sharpening, but all of those settings have been turned off. You will get files with the most amount of fine detail preserved without sharpening artifacts. Higher ISO images will have a very fine grain.
If you think there's too much grain, you can add additional noise reduction by using one of the optional PP3 files inside the
TSM - PP3 Optional - Noise Reduction folder. This is completely optional. You determine how much noise reduction you want.
If you think the image needs more sharpening, use the PP3 files from the
TSM - PP3 Optional - Sharpening folder to turn on sharpening or you can manually turn them on as well. This is completely optional & it's up to you to determine what type & how much sharpening you want. Keep in mind that even though each ISO has it's own sharpening settings, sharpening will increase noise a bit.
In the
TSM - PP3 Optional - Color folder, I took out all the Pentax Auto-Matched Tone Curve files. You basically start off by using one of the Pentax Color PP3 files. If the image still looks too dark or too bright after using a Pentax Color PP3 file, then apply the TSM Auto-Matched Tone Curve PP3 file after.
Keep in mind that if you have the D-range settings turned on in your camera, you will probably experience exposure issues on occasion. I strongly suggest that you turn off the D-range settings in the camera to avoid exposure issues in RawTherapee.
That's about it. You can also download a Windows 64bit build from my
Google Drive. Have fun!
