Pure raw accepts only Raw files as input which means one has to always start with NR and then import a TIFF file into the post processing software like Capture one etc. Problem I face with this workflow is that I find the adjustments like Curves, Levels, HSL work differently on a TIFF vs a default Raw file like NEF. I feel like there is better control over colors and tones with an NEF file vs TIFF.
Let’s Say I use the same image and first import the NEF raw file directly into C1 and make some basic adjustments to curves, levels and HSL vs use a TIFF version of the same file that I ran through the NR software like DXO pureraw, making identical adjustments to the TIFF file as I did with the NEF file doesn’t yield the same results. It appears to me the RAW file offers better flexibility, finer controls over tones and colors. Is anyone else noticing this?
