Panasonic LX5 IV

Using the one to one format brought out the best here. There's a lot of dynamic range in this image but I could easily bring back detail from the sky and shadows at the bottom of the image.

Lightroom 3.5

Lightroom 3.5

I decided to test the latest version of Lighroom with the Nokton images I took the other day. I've been using Silkypix for a number of years and I've quite happy with the output it gives me with my Pasasonic camera. I wasn't very impressed with the earlier versions of Lightroom but I did keep it up-to-date thinking that Adobe would get it';s act together sooner or later. Well, I had quite a surprise. The output is simply superb. It's still quite fast on my old machine (maybe an excuse to upgrade?) and Silkypix keeps getting slower and slower with each update. Could be my imagination though.
My normal workflow if to develop my raw files in Silkypix and do the rest of the work in Photoshop. What I experienced was that the files from Lightroom required a LOT less work in Photoshop, actually very little work needed doing. The image in this post had no work done at all in Photoshop apart from reducing for web use and a little sharpening. I'm amazed. I think I'm going to have to some more work with Lightroom. The learning curve is quite steep coming from Silkypix but I think it's going to be worth it.
