i2e Save Error
I just downloaded the i2e Image editor. After editing some images I get a "Save image error" when trying to save. I have Windows Vista on this machine and can find no info on the webpage regarding Vista. Anyone have this same problem or able to run the program with Vista?
Problem Solved
Under Windows Vista install as administrator and it works fine.

Send email to Colour-Science - I run it on XP, sorry I can't help.
Anyone Use DxO??
Forgive me if I am going off topic, but I just found this thread on i2e. I had seen it referenced throughout the forums but couldn't figure out what it did. Now I realize it's a batch processor. I have been using something similar which is DxO Optics. I did a search on dgrin and didn't find any reference to DxO. Does anyone use this software for batch processing or did I just miss the reference? What I like about the application is that they have models of individual cameras and lenses and can correct for optical aberrations present in the cameras and/or lenses. I have a Sony DSC-H1 and the starter version has the models for that camera and it can correct for barrel distortion at the wide end of the lens among other corrections. The higher end versions have models for many of the dslr's and lenses.

I use DxO Optics Pro but not for batch conversions as it is way too slow. i2e has it beat hands down in the speed category. I only use DxO to do lens corrections on specific photos. If DxO ever figures out a way to speed their processing up and improve their documentation they could have a serious contender to Lightroom.
I agree the processing is slow and there is basically no documentation but I did like how it could pre-process my camera and take out the major aberrations and do reasonable color correction in a single step. I should take a look at i2e.

Color wise I think i2e does a better job but I need to experiment more with it to find out. Or maybe there is something in DxO I am missing. I recently downloaded the new ACDSee Pro beta and it is still a dog. DxO is a lot faster than it is. (Plus it still has all the workflow problems from the previous version.)
I2E messes up embedded GPS data, but fix is on the way
I noticed that my GPS-embedded photos weren't showing up where I expected them to after running them through I2E. I sent a message to Frank Grossmann from Colour-Science AG and after a little research he confirmed that the third party, polysys library they use to import and export images in image editor has a rounding error when dealing with GPS data in exif tags.
Here's some info from an e-mail he sent me today: "They were rounding minutes to 1/100th which is not exact enough for GPS coordinates. I will integrate the next version in Image Editor, but this will probably need another month to be ready."
I'm definitely no pro, but I use DxO and absolutely love it. The localized lighting and contrast, as well as geometric corrections are great. The white balance works like a champ, and the noise reduction is amazing. I'm very please with what I get, especially for what I paid.
That said, their color corrections are extremely manual and I just don't use them. There are features to make the image look like it came from another camera body and a zillion other things, but I just don't find them that useful. I wish it did some of the automatic color corrections that i2e seems to have, because these are the things I tend to screw up the most
I looked at I2E and bought it, now I'd like to ask some questions tha I don't think were covered earlier.
In your workflow, do you go staright from raw and save it to jpg or tiff in i2e or do you convert first and then open it in i2e for adjustments. If you go straight from raw through i2e how do you see, out of all your raw files, which ones you want to process.
As far as I can tell, there is no way to look at thumbnails in order to chose the ones to process. I'm assuming the demo version has everything working, I haven't gotten the activation code yet so I'm still in demo mode.
Well, the RAW question was answered when I looked at their site again. I just got the Home version, so when I activate it I won't have the raw support to worry about since the demo is of the Pro version.
I've been playing around with i2e for a bit, but I seem to be losing all the EXIF details when I process my RAW files with it.
I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the raw-settings for the channel.
The only thing that I knew to change were the dimensions. All the others stuff I have no clue about
If anyone knows if I should change something with regards to the RAW settings, I'd love to hear it The help pages from i2e are not so helpful to me.
No response
I recently bought the home version and, because I didn't read enough, found that it didn't support RAW. I've written to them twice about just reverting to a plug-in license. It's been about 2 weeks now and I've received no reply, not even a "live with what you bought" answer, which I would understand.
I know this isn't a support forum for them but I was wondering if anyone knew if the company took a vacation and there is no one there right now or what.

I sent an email to them about upgading from the plugin to the standard version. They responded very quickly and we went back and forth a few times. Very helpful....
Are you using the support address fron their website?

Tried the address on the person who sent me the unlock code and then I tried the support address from the site. I'll try again.
When installing it will override the channels, so if you have custom settings, you may want to write those down before installing. You may also need to reinstall the RAW support.
Image editor comparisson
Does anyone have an opinion or comparisson of i2e vs adobe lightroom? also, I am trying to find a good image database software and am looking for recommendations.

i2e Version 2.5 with Redeye removal
Well, the redeye removal, it does a pretty nice job! These are some olde p&s shots:
Remember, this is "one-click" fixing of a whole batch of photos - no selecting, no brushes, no tools.
I have tried the iE2 RAW conversions but almost always the images have a slightly grainy appearance , which is annoying espcecially in the sky parts.
Accordingto their description the program is not supposed to sharpen sky colors? Or do I misunderstand something?
Are there some settings regulating this?

I'm testing both IE & Q-hancer.
It's not clear to me if IE has red-eye correction (I sent them a note and they said you can only "test" it in Q-hancer). Did that, did not work.
Anyone with the IE Pro version see Red Eye correction there? Other than PS, anybody know of a batch red-eye correction tool?

Does anyone know if they have support for 40D raw files? I am seriously considering an upgrade to a 40d and I love my i2E!!
WOW, Got an email right back from Frank. According to him the latest canon raw support dl on thier page supports 40d raw!!
CS have been very fast and great to deal with. Thanks for bringing them to us, Andy!
