  • I ended up trying it out on windows. My performance was fine, and I can get past the low resolution editing, but adjusting exposure and especially highlights is still very bad. Instead of recovering highlights it just… Makes it less bright. Like editing a JPG.

    I wonder if its actually an issue of how the program is reading ARW files? Maybe its only reading the embedded jpeg from the ARW (ARW is sony’s RAW file format - I’m shooting on an A7R V for reference)

    Edit: on second though it definitely isn’t using embedded jpeg since those are way lower resolution, but still maybe it isn’t handling the file correctly


  • I took a shot at this since it has Linux support. Generally I’m having to either use Darktable or dual boot into windows to use LR Classic (especially if I need to denoise the photos)

    For the controls themselves it had most of what I use from LR Classic (probably a good time to mention I never used LR so I can’t compare that) but I had 3 major issues. Both may be because I’m on openSUSE which is not officially supported, although an RPM is provided

    1. The UI is extremely slow to use. Slower than LR classic even.

    2. I can’t figure out how to show my photos at full 60MP resolution. It seems to show only proxies that completely fall apart when you try to zoom. I could only imagine performance being even worse however with full resolution.

    3. Editing highlights down completely falls apart as if I was editing a jpg and not RAW. I was willing to work past the other 2 issues but not that.

    I am still interested in the software as it gets updates though, and its very possible my issues are because I’m running it in opensuse.




  • Glad you like it! I’m curious which singer you are referring to since as far as I know all the vocals in Carpenter Brut songs are via collaboration.

    Some other of my favourite songs from him:

    • The Good Old Call

    • Vances De 87 (Carpenter Brut Remix)

    • Lipstick Masquerade

    • MANIAC

    • Looking for Tracy Tzu

    Listen to the first song in Trilogy, “Escape from Midwich valley”. It starts out like of slow but the end perfectly sets up the rest of the album as very heavy synth

    Be careful driving while listening to CB, driving under the speed limit may be an effort in futility while you listen!

    Also, if you listen to Leather Terror, there’s 2 songs in there that have to be played back to back and its unbelievably hard. That would be Day Stalker and Night Prowler. Try listening to them back to back. Night Prowler starts extremely heavy
