  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

This is very pretty stuff! Thanks so much for posting & mirroring this- I also put a copy at
http://www.bealecorner.org/events/red/

There's so much clean detail in the city shot.. even the edges around the brightest lights and signs are not too bad, and I can easily imagine a filter process that could smooth those out more if desired. Looks like Red is good enough to show a bit of CA-colored edges on lights near the frame edge even with these very good quality lenses (of course, mild CA is also something that could be fixed in post if needed).

and

"That is one of the magic bits about shooting with Red - most cameras have a sensor block, then feed off to a processing block where destructive decisions (white balance, gamma, saturation, etc.) are made, THEN that output is recorded to lossy tape. Not so with Red. With Red, the image off the sensor is recorded with the lossy but high quality Redcode RAW codec, and the CHOICES of hue/sat/gamma/bright/contrast/ISO/white balance/etc. are recorded in parallel, but separate from, the image data as metadata. That way you can fully change your mind later. So the only settings that REALLY matter when you shoot are what are you looking at, what's your frame rate, frame resolution, iris, focus, composition, etc. All the color related choices (other than iris) are deferrable decisions - if you recorded with saturation run down to 10%, that's OK - you an dial it up to 150% in post and never have known it was recorded "low" - because it never was recorded with low saturation, that was just a non-destructive look, an interpretive decision, recorded alongside the "real" camera image data. So this all boils down to decisions of ISO etc. are just for convenience's sake in many ways - because you can change your mind entirely later." - http://hdforindies.com/

it seems that you can not messup a shoot save for
bad focus and under\over exposure [iris], dirt on lens etc -
Am i reading this correctly? If the image is properly lit\exposed
red's software can develop it to wonderful results?

these images wonderful
 
Ok, "city" and "Skytower" are at the link below. I put up both the original DPX and also a 16-bit PNG version. The PNG images are bit-for-bit identical to the DPX even though they are 1/2 or 1/3 the size (!) ...PNG uses a very good quality lossless compression algorithm. The only drawback is that PS-CS2 is SLOW to save out large files in PNG format.

Thanks Rocketeer for posting the pics.

By the way, if bandwidth is an issue, you can use 16-bit-per-channel PNG which uses lossless compression to put the exact same image into fewer megabytes than TIFF or DPX. I found Skytower went down to almost 1/3 size from the original DPX when saved to PNG. Most recent software works with high bit depth PNG, I know Photoshop does.
 
Thanks for the TIFFs

5 star -- best RED ONE grabs posted so far from the production units, IMHO. It puts the competition (SI, who knows if also some film...16mm definitely) miles, kilometers away. On the other side of this (same) world?

What's going on with the soft/dark area in the lower right hand corner. I've noticed this for a bit but haven't said anything yet.

Some quick coloring fun... Wow, it's easy to push this stuff around, wish I had more time to play lately!

Been lurking around here for a few days, but I really like these samples so here's my shot at it...
