Yeah Carlos, you got it! If you open S5 CRW files directly in RawTherapee you obtain an awful greenish picture (I think it's a dcraw fault, not rawtherapee)...So you have to work hard to get good colors!
DNG4PS insert "our almost correct" camera color profile in the DNG to make it closer to actual colors.
If you take a look at my previous pictures, you would wonder to know that the White Balance setting (custom) is the same for both pictures. (but as you can see colors are really different).
To come back on-topic,
, I just wanted to point out to Stevvie that DNG4PS is not the reason for his detail loss (as Artden said too)...since there is no detail loss!
Both CRW and DNG have the same detail quality, far higher than jpg (but not visible at first sight)!
For what I've seen, RawTherapee uses, as default, a harder unsharp mask than Photoshop...but that doesn't mean that Photoshop is worse than Rawtherapee neither that DNG4PS washes details away from DNG!
That's in reply to stevvie's post#1: crw/dng are not less detailed than jpg. They're just less manipulated (no noise reduction, no color boost, no unsharp mask...on the contrary, the jpg has all of these). Working with RAW requires a lot of practice to obtain good results.
Bye
