But i found the overall concept of ‘open-convert-edit-export’ single images annoying and time consuming and didn’t release it. I made a first new plugin for Photoshop that could work around the Adobe Camera RAW module that didn’t need profiles and all that. Because although the results were great, users were often confused about the amount of profiles, presets and working color spaces we needed to get the whole thing rollin’. The next cut was completely separating from the Adobe Photoshop universe in terms of image preparation and processing. That’s where i made the first big cut and split everything in half. I found we need a new generation of specialist plugins for scanners and DSLRs. It is very open, but at the same time a bit ‘unspecific’. It will work for DSLR scans as well as for scanners. The original Negmaster relies a lot on preparation and universal usability over a wide range of devices. What i did then was literally inverting the whole concept. I did this …kind of secretely at that time, because i didn’t want anyone to think the original concept will be abandoned in the near future. So at some point i felt i had to find a whole new concept.
We have many customers who pay the Adobe Cloud just to be able to use Negmaster or Negsets. At last i made the decisions.Īnother thing was the Adobe Cloud subscription model. Users who followed the project from the beginning had no problems with that, while new users had a hard time figuring things out. We had so many functions in that small Interface. Conversion results are awesome once you find your personal workflow.īut the concept and the amount of feedback came with some drawbacks. There was plenty of influence from the Facebook group over the years. Negmaster PS was kind of a ‘community child’. Opposed to other conversion plugins like the original Negmaster for Photoshop, BR was developed in isolation.
I thought it’s worth dropping a few lines about NEGMASTER BR and the -at least subjectively- noteworthy story behind it.
