Minolta Dimage Viewer cmi ?

worker bee · 29th March 2005

KonicaMinolta provides the Dimage Viewer with their digital cameras.
Is it good enough ?
Or is PhotoShop that much better ?

Looking for something easy to use ( user friendly) , not too big .
Hopefully free .

compared to photoshop, confirm cannot fight... anyway dimage viewer is not an image editing software, only able to view pics taken by KM cameras, esp the Raw function.

i dun use it anyway...

I think you are right .
I accidentally set the wrong white balance in the camera , and now I cannot find anything in the viewer to set it right .
Such a simple adjustment also not inside , looks like it is too basic .

Are you shooting in RAW? Only RAW can adjust the WB in the viewer. For JPEG, there are a few ways to do it in viewer, like color balance and curves etc

Shooting in JPEG only.
I am quite sure the white balance can be corrected by the ways you suggested , but that will take quite afew steps ?
Is there any other simpler ways of doing it ?
Just a simple slider or something .
Or is that wishful thinking ?

In the meantime , yet to find out what other functions I may need and NOT inside this Dimage Viewer .

White balance adjustment in the Dimage viewer is for Raw files only...

For Jpeg, there's the colour balance and the curves which you can play around to adjust the colour of the photos... It's 3 slider bars RGB, red, green and blue. You need to know a little of what you are doing to work effeciently, but nothing that some experimentation can't teach...
