I am using PS Elements 11 with raw converter 7.3, processing .DNG files from a Samsung GX-10 on a PC.
I notice that, despite sharpening the image in the raw converter, that the preview (F11) in the organiser is not sharp. This is somewhat annoying.
However, even more annoying is the fact that the blurriness continues if I export the DNG from the organiser to a new JPEG, even if I set the quality at Maximum (12). The export and preview seem to be ignoring the sharpness I have set in the raw converter.
If I open the .DNG in the editor and then save the file as a JPEG straight away, all my sharpening remains intact, and the final JPEG is fine.
I have tried using setting the 'process' in the raw converter to '2010', and also tried setting the JPEG preview size to 'Full Size' in the RAW converter save options. Neither of these seems to make any difference.
For my normal workflow I edit the .DNG files using the raw converter, using the PSE editor only when necessary. I then use the organiser to export the .DNG files to JPEGs for printing, emailing or whatever. This workflow does not give me the results I expect any more.
It looks like I am going to have to open every processed RAW image in the editor and then save the files as JPEGs individually. Also the organiser preview does not give me an accurate preview of the quality of the processed file.
Has anyone else observed this, or have any suggestions for a cure or a revised workflow?
Bill.
