The first one is a 100% crop. I shot that with a Leaf A75 medium format digital back on a Fuji Gx 680lll. I usually have this on an old Horseman Large Format rail that will allow me to move it in and out. Couple pictures of it here on this thread...scroll down the page a bit http://luminous-landscap...

BetterLights are what..like 300MB per file? I shoot with an Leaf A75 that produces a 192 MB file and I have not had any problems with this software and a stack of ten files. It takes a few minutes but it hasn't crashed yet. I'm on a Mac.

Thanks.
I use the program all the time in the commercial world. I have one client that requires quite a bit of MCU work, medium close up, and now I have the option of the narrow depth of field look or half in focus or all in focus.
Well worth the money.

Great application

To tell you the truth when I downloaded the application I didn't have high hopes for it. Often times these sort of programs are buggy and really don't work too well but I am very impressed by it. Plan on using it within my commercial work so it has already paid for itself many times over. And I won'...

Large 16bit files

I'm still playing around with the program and so decided to see how it handles my big files. The back I shoot with produces approx 192Mb 16bit files. This is a stack of 13 and after chugging away on the G5 for about 7 minutes it produced a very nicely rendered file. Didn't run any dust maps although...

I did a quick and not too rigorous test of moving the rail vs moving only the back and keeping the lens in the same spot. I shoot commercially with a medium format back mostly on a large format type camera, that is a non focusing lens with bellows and front and rear standards. So for the first I foc...
