General / RAM speed

« on: April 07, 2020, 09:00:13 AM »

Hi all!
I'm upgrading my RAM and I have a question concerning its speed.
In the requirements, I read a minimum of 16-32 Go DDR3 1600.
I currently have 16 Go : DDR3 2×4 Go @ 1333 + 2×4 Go @ 1600 and I'm still able to run interesting projects without crashes.
I intend to install 32 Go : 4 × DDR3 - 8 Go @1333 only (and not 1600 as asked in the minimum requirements).
Do you think that 1333 instead of 1600 is a really important issue?
Thanks for help and best regards.

General / RAW, JPG or TIFF

« on: March 09, 2020, 06:56:31 PM »

Hi and thanks to welcome me in the community (I'm a new Metashape user).
I've got plenty of questions but won't bother you with all at the same time
My most urgent one concerns the format of the images.
I capture the images with a DJI Mavic 2 Pro drone (1 inch Hasselblade) and can use jpg or dng (raw).
The jpg are good quality (more than 10 Mo 5472x3648).

1- Do you think it can be a real improvement if I use RAW in Metashape ?

If yes, I've read in the manual that the best is to convert to uncompressed TIFF.

2- As Metashape can read and work with my DNG, why is it important to convert and why shouldn't I use DNG ?

3- In the change log of the 1.6.2, I read : "• Updated DNG loader to apply BaselineExposure scaling.". I really don't understand what that means.... Couldn't it be that "Yes ! Now you can use DNG directly and get the best results!" ?

Thanks to all for your help.

Regards,
Cyril from France
