I try playing with different tuning and settings...it's just never the same and in situation, it's worst. I got 3 pics that i combined....and it didn't look good to me. When i look at the pic from HDR Capture where it combined by itself...it looks amazing fine and detail. I just don't know why photoshop can't produce that kind of image.
I just don't see why users need high end software just to view the dng image from this application. The file should be usable from all software that is capable of accessing dng files. I am not sure if the file produced by Fcam is a true dng file. I have asked before why this is but the developers never answer. Fcam is an amazing application and producing workable files is a must. I understand it is still in development so maybe this improvement is in the plans.

It's not a question of high end software as any Google Search will tell you that you can pick up inexpensive conversion software and also find other proprietary ways of opening any *.dng file.
Maybe I'm wrong but standardisation is surely the way forward when you are talking about approximately 70 different types of RAW file extension... Maybe....?

Standardisation is the way in my view but that means that files should be accessible by a large amount of software. In the case of Fcam images that is not the case but i will check after the updated software of last week

I don't see Fcam and the drivers showing up as an update( I assume it is still in extras testing). Do I have to uni-install the whole thing and start from scratch?

People complaining about the .DNGs really need to calm down, wait for a bugfix update to be released, and spend the interval time reading up on exactly what the .DNG format is meant to accomplish.
The developers of FCam should be lauded for choosing to use .DNG from the start.

Why do i need to use Photoshop? Because it's quicker to process.

By the way.. are the new FCam drivers 1.0.5-2 compatible with Titan's Kernel?
