I have been experimenting in using the RPP as the raw developer for xp1 and other raw formats that Aperture currently does not support... Such as Sony rx100. I have never gotten into the adobe LR or ps, so Aperture is my base photo app.
This workflow is base on establishing a user camera default in RPP which will create the tiff file that will later be imported into Aperture...
RPP has a lot of camera specific profiles which are hidden... But u open a raw file and make some generic changes, save the file at least once as a tiff and then use set as camera profile. From that point on, this is what will be automatically used for that raw type and camera model. Also stay away from lab tiff if u use aperture... Even though preview works fine with this format, aperture goes crazy 🙁
RPP has option of drag and drop of raw files onto the RPP app icon, this will kick off the batch processing of all the raw files to tiff based on the camera profile.
I have played with two different work flows
1- do the conversion to tiff first before import to aperture
2- import raw plus jpg first into Aperture (w/ jpg as master), do the sorting and rating first, then export master to temp dir to do the RPP tiff conversation with a re-import of the tiff and do final image processing..
Not sure yet which I like better... First one is the simplest work flow, but can create more storage issues if u plan to keep all files types. The second is more more complicated workflow, but u are only going to have tiff files for the ones u are interested in going to next step with...
I know others have been using RPP for the xp1, what is your workflow?
