HF on an IMac
Posted: 27.08.2014 10:39
I just bought a brand new Nikon D810 body and do my stacks now with 36 MPixels each picture. To overcome the data volume and time consumption issue (one hour for processing a 200 picture stack is not practicable) I bought an IMac with i7 processor and 32 Gbyte RAM, installed HF for Mac and must learn, that the retouching function doesn't work at all. The rerence to the actual picure out of the stack which is shown in the windows version when moving over the result picture is totally missing. Using the Mac version of HF for me therefore impossible.
Then I turned back to Windows by installing Parallels and downloading the actual HF Release 6.2. First of all retouching works in principle, but the sensitiveness of the mouse is bar far too high. Also loading a complete folder in the stack is now very complicated. And the scroll wheel of the mouse now controls the zoom. That is not useful, because when retouching I use the scroll wheel for controling the brush radius. This one has to be varied very often, the zoom factor by far more seldom. Please do me the favor and get back to the behaviour of HF Rel. 5.2, which I now actually use and with which I am very satisfied.
