The only thing you will not be able to do is use the Hue, Saturation & Luminance sliders to colorize an image, since there is no color in the RAW file. If you like to tint your images, you can use the split tone adjustments in LR. The Sony app that comes with the camera can be used also. The color cast is due to the camera’s processor thinking that it sees in color. Simply slide the saturation slider to the left in most any image processor. If you don’t use one of the apps above, you’ll need to remove the magenta color cast.

I find that with the full size sensors LR does a pretty good job on these monochrome files even though it processes it as a color image. You should read the manual to learn about the details of the program. The app comes with a manual that is quite good, and a plugin for Lightroom when you contribute. The app has several de-mosaic algorithms to choose from for when you want to work in the color world. You can turn on the color feature of the app again by changing the true portion of that line to false.
#Raw photo processor install
Download RPP here, install the app, and then run this line in the Terminal app:ĭefaults write NoCFA -bool true RPP can be set to process the raw file without applying a de-mosaic algorithm by a simple command line in the Terminal app. Go to the a7RII(m) sample gallery to download a file converted by Monochrome2DNG and the Sony RAW file and run it through your processor and see how well it works.Īnother option is Raw Photo Processor (RPP). The program will also do batch processing, so converting a day’s shoot is easy. I use Monochrome2DNG to convert my RAW files. All of the standard post processing software see the DNG files converted with this app as a monochrome file, so there are no strange artifacts due to your post processing app thinking it is an RGB file and applying a de-mosaic algorithm to the file. I find it works very well, as do others that have used it. Everything starts from a RAW file, this extracts maximum detail and information from the scene, and gives more room for adjustments in post processing. Most of what I state here is with these programs in mind. I also use some of the NIK software suite. Not to say composting and layering with PhotoShop are bad, I just haven’t ventured in that direction as of yet.
I’m of the traditional school that comes from having spent a lot of time in a darkroom. I use Monochrome2DNG, FastRawViewer, Raw Photo Processor, and LightRoom for all of my post processing.
