Not Sleeping is cool!

I have been playing around with various apps that are now “Universal” in other words built to work on the PPC mac’s (G3/G4/G5) as well as Intel based mac’s and while it doesn’t “feel” universal and I couldn’t find anywhere that said it was or wasn’t I grabbed the Lightroom Beta from Adobe - must say very happy with the results in dealing with Digital Negatives:
 

The left is the original “as taken by the camera” so what my settings at the time for color balance, white balance, etc. all my settings on the camera applied - the second is from the digital negative I took along with the original shot (Camera will Take Negative + JPG) - negatives are just like what’d you would have in a standard camera, raw image data, everything through the lens no processing of any kind - it does record the settings I took the picture at, so upon first viewing in Lightroom - looked just like the left, then after 3 clicks, it looked like the right - much cleaner, better white balance and saturation of some colors came out a lot better.

Very impressed to say the least, a nice way to wind down the morning/evening - whatever this time is Man I love it when my sleep schedule is upside down and backwards - but for a larger view of the difference see my flickr for the full deal. Okay - this time for sure, sleep…. I hope.
