I keep wondering, Suppose my problem is not a problem of the camera, or more specific of the sensorchip. Wouldn't Leica Germany have come up with some questions or suggestions concerning the origin of my problem resulting in the black spots on my images when they checked my first D-lux2 send...

Jpg files have undergone filtering/comprimation. The raw image is the unprocessed data with which you can do as you like. If information is not on the raw image it won't get on the jpg images. The black dots will get averaged out, I suppose, when converting a raw image to a jpg file, and will...

Hi ExplorerZ I used RawShooter Premium 2006 to import the RAW images to a windows XP home edition pc. I couldn't get the adobe Elements plugin for RAW images to work. Each camera gave black spots at exactly the same positions in all the raw images that were taken with that specific camera...

Samples of my RAW images: I might be picky, but it is possible that I would like to use pictures at an enlargement like the last one. I have to get rid of the annoying black spots on for this instance the chin of the boy and on the two arms. For a camera of 700 Euros I find this...

Hello Explorerz, Shall I try to post the pictures in the critique corner of this forum, or do you want me to continue this discussion/topic elsewhere? Kind regards, Arie1

Because someone at the Leica forum suggested that my problem with the Leica D-lux 2 might not be a problem of dead pixels (he had no clue what it might be the exactly) I will post here two links to the Leica forum where I have posted examples of my pixelproblems and the start of a discussion...

Hi there, I just returned from the shop with my second Leica D-lux2 camera. I returned the first because of dead pixels (black dots on the raw image). After checking the first couple of shots with the replacement camera, the new one shows black spots as well. What is this? Can't they make...

Weekh, If I can get another one, won't it have the same artefacts (in other places)? Should all the pixels be OK in a new camera of this quality. I just would like to now if you studied the image of your camera carefully in raw-format and found no pixel-errors. Thanks, Arie1

Hello, I just bought the Leica version of the LX1 yesterday. The Panasonics were sold out. I am doing some experimenting now. Sofar trying to import RAW files into Photoshop elements that came with the camera only gives gray rectangles. I can't call them images, there is nothing to see. I...

Thank you Weekh. Is the Gimp good basic software able to process raw-format imagefiles? Greetings, Arie1

Hello everyone, I discovered this forum yesterday and I think it is great. Thank you Weekh for these beautiful pictures. I haven't had time yet to read all the postings here and I may find an answer to this question I have somewhere, somehow, but I would like to know if I have to spend extra...
