Nice lens by the way…….I am using the Panasnic Summilux 25mm 1.4 which I love, but am wondering how much better the Nokton is. Maybe someone will do a comparison one day.
You’re absolutely correct, Following my tutorial, you shoot both RAW and JPG and then combine the two separate files to create the final photograph. RAW acts as a great safety net meaning no matter how a JPG may come out (after in camera, automatic processing), your RAW file can be edited quite seperately.
I Think there’s lots of different options. I would always recommend keeping a RAW copy of the pics as these files are much more robust than any JPG’s and can withstand lots more modification without as much loss of quality. The great thing about the camera is the fast that options such as the one you’ve mentioned here are equally as valid as any other
Hi Paul – thanks for the video! With the bracketing option on the om-d, what would be your opinion of automatically applying the dramatic filter to every picture? You don’t get a chance to put it into black and white this way, but a bit of play makes me wonder whether the coloured dramatic filter is just as suitable… and naturally you have your original jpeg and raw file to still to use as one wishes. Then you just take both jpegs and merge layers as you describe, no need to introduce the raw?
thanks for video nice trick - – have you got the 14-150 Olympus or the 14-140 Panasonic ? just curious if you had either what you thought of image quality.
This affect is like bleach bypass affect

Great technique. I have used the Art 10 b/w filter a lot but never thought of merging with colour RAWs. Brilliant. Cheers.

From my understanding though if you shoot RAW the art filters don’t affect it?
By frompaulsiphone, February 22, 2013 @ 6:13 am
I’ll probably start some kind of screen recording method for my next tutorial
By frompaulsiphone, February 22, 2013 @ 6:16 am
I’d love some more of the lenses… Maybe one day

Thanks a lot, I mainly used the kit lens (12-50mm) although some closeups are shot with a CV 25mm f/0.95

The terrible focusing on the videos make it very difficult to watch, which to be fair the shooter acknowledges.
By frompaulsiphone, February 22, 2013 @ 10:27 am
I suppose you could however the art filter saves a lot of post processing work as the JPG effect ‘bleeds through’ the raw file.
By brewdev, February 22, 2013 @ 10:51 am
Why not just use the raw? That would save a little space…
