Sinar eXposure 6.1.1 Released

[zalephoto]

Dear Richard,

With "Focus Box" I believe you mean the "Navigator" window?
Anyway, yes, of course, you can resize any window of eXposure. First, one can have them in "Movable", "Floating" or "Transparent Mode".

By default, the windows are in a certain position, when opening eXposure the first time: from there one can go to the edge of each window, and resize them up to a certain limit, given by the monitor size and the layout (see screenshot).

Or one can drag them "out" of their actual position/framing (when "Movable" is selected ---> see screenshots for how to set: one can do it either by the Menu, or then by clicking the little "screen" icon on the top right side of the window, beside the "X" and over the "i" ): this will "liberate" the window (see screenshot), which can then be re-sized at will (see screenshot), or placed on a second monitor. To bring it back to its original frame (or anywhere else), simply drag it in the place you want: the space will "Open" and the window jumps then in place (see screenshot).

There are many other possibilities, one can bring any window in another "Set" of plugins", one can move full "Sets" of plugins (e.g. also the contact sheet) from the bottom to the right or left side, etc ... It is almost un-limited.

If you wish really to make use of all the possibilities, about windows position, re-sizing or ANY other feature, it would be good to read the "on-line help": all is described there.

Best regards,
Thierry

Actually, I was talking about the "live Image" viewer. When the window opens up you get 3 little boxes on the left (vertical rectangles). I am not at my camera right now but I will do the recommended changes and thank you for those. I will say I am getting random hard crashes with and without the camera connected. As to "live image" I was not able to re-size the master window so that is why I asked about the "detail" windows in that view. My nomenclature is I am sure inadequate but hopefully you get the idea. Again Thanks.

Hi Thierry,

Can you think of a reason why I cannot move my contact sheet over to the left column like you have in your last picture in post #33? I can make it floating and make it snap into the right hand column along with the capture, process, export tabs etc, but I have tried many times without success to get the contact sheet to 'snap' into place on the left side. Is there something I am doing incorrectly?

Thanks,
Ben

hi Ben,

No, you are able to move it to the left, to the right or to the bottom: make it first floating, then drag it over the "zone" where you want it, by doing so and passing over a zone where it can be dropped, this zone becomes activated (greyed out = darker, see schreenshot). You let it then simply loose with the mouse, and it will "jump into this place (see screenshot): it is now located between "Browser" and "Metadata". You could put it the same way between any of the windows on the left side, here again between "Metadata" and "History" (see screenshot, or completely on the top, over "Browser" (see screenshot).

To note one very interesting new feature/plugin: the "History", at the bottom left, allowing to go back any time to any previous setting/change.

Best regards,
Thierry

Hi Thierry,

Yes, I know about this function - I have been customising the interface by snapping the windows around, but what I mean is that I can't seem to get the contact sheet to 'snap' into position on the left. i.e. no grey box appears when I drag the contact sheet window around and float it over the browser, metadata or history dockwidget... I know it can be done because I have seen your screen shots, but mine doesn't want to do it. I can snap the contact sheet underneath or anywhere on the right side, but just not on the left, and I thought there might be a trick I am missing.

Ben,

In this case there is certainly something missing, but I can't imagine what. Did you try to trash the preferences, which sets the layout to "Default" first, and then trying from there?

Thanks Thierry,

I will try this, but in the meantime I will email you a video to show you what I mean to prove I'm not mad

Thierry - don't worry - trashing the prefs worked!  Thank you very much!

I trashed both Sinar eXposure layout_LastRun.ini  and  Sinar eXposure.sav


Now everything works properly.  


Thanks again,
Ben

Alright, that's good!

Hello Everyone,   I am a complete newbie to Sinar. Just got my Hy6/e75r this morning. ! (thanks Willem )  I have taken some shots and saved to CF card then connected by firewire reader to my Mac Pro 10.5.6 with exposure 6.1.1.  I can see files on contact sheet but cannot make them into DNG.

I must have made some basic mistake? Can anyone help please?  Cheers JOHN

there is a help button on your menu..which will give you instructions under "IMPORT"  - however do this..

1. create a folder which you want to store the file you wish to store and work on.
2. select files you wish to store and work on..
3. drag to the folder you made - you will see an impoirt tab spring up after you do this - if you click on the tab you will see the progress of loading per file
4. when import is complete you have downloaded your files from camera or Cf card reader
 - THEN you click on folder you have made to open all 'working files' in Contact sheet from there -
you can select and export as required.

you got a great deal from Willem ..
Good Luck and enjoy.

Thanks very much. I had already looked at the help and am still having trouble.I cannot get the import tab to appear. When I drag and drop I am just moving the ai files not creating DNGs.

Yes I did get a good deal ! Just have to learn how to deal with the software!

Cheers JOHN

Thanks very much. I had already looked at the help and am still having trouble.I cannot get the import tab to appear. When I drag and drop I am just moving the ai files not creating DNGs.

The import tab will appear automatically as the import happens. The files will be converted to DNG as they are imported.

Hi John,

an easy task, to import, when one knows: simply drag the displayed files from the contact sheet to any folder of your choice in the browser. There is no import button. SImply select all you want to import, and drag them.

Best regards,
Thierry

Richard,

I have no back currently, to tether and to use the live video. Can't comment for the time being.

Below is a section from the readme file that came with 6.1.1. Are these any of your issues?

 
•  When using the Sinar eXposure™ 6.1.1 software with Sinarback eVolution 75 H with Sinar p3 and sliding adapter, the LC shutter moves in front of the lens when sliding the ground glass into viewing position.


•  Using the LC-Shutter with the Sinarback eVolution 75 H and the AUX socket of the Hasselblad V Generic adapter plate 552.36.250 is currently not supported.

Sounds like they are still working on the LC shutter/eVolution75 combination.
