No Noise reduction no hightlight recovery on sRAW and MRAW

[AsterixEtObelix]

Hello,

beside the discussion mRAW and sRAW are not RAW format, there are hudge regression with those canon format.

1) The Highlight recovery is not accessible. It can be set without problem on ASP 1.X and was working fine. On ASP 2 the slider is not accessible.It is greyout. So it is impossible to reconstruct highlights.

2) There is no access to the "RAW noise" feature.

3) ASP 2 crashes when moving any slider on "Noise reduction by Athentech"

Those 2 formats are shown as "cameras supported" on Corel website. Noise reduction and hightlight recovery are really a basic feature of a RAW program. No having them is purely and simply useless.

Both format are not working on a Canon 40D and canon 5D mkII

I am happy to send some sample RAW if need. I hope it will be corrected soon because right now ASP 2 is pretty useless for half of my pictures. I am used to take half of my pictures in mRAW or sRAW.

Thanks you for your reply.

I just send you a mail with a short explanation and some samples which explain the problem. I just discovered aslo that on sRAW there are artifact also (see below)...

I took some sample of pictures which are overexposed and some others samples with a lot of noises. Additionally I took those pictures in both format "full RAW " and sRAW.
All my RAW + xmp can be downloaded there :

Using ASP2 with an sRAW it is not possible to use highlight reconstruction ( by the way I just discovered now the artifact):
one sample preprocess with ASP1

the same sample where highlight reconstruction is not working with ASP2 + artifacts :

I the zip file there are also some noisy sRAW (as well as normal RAW) taken with a Canon 5D mMK II and a 40D On debian 64bits it just make ASP2 to crash
