Editing notes
A street-photography staple with a fixed 28mm-equivalent lens. High-contrast monochrome recipes suit it particularly well — the files hold up to hard black points in a way that flatters the format's documentary use.
Looks that suit these files: Tri-X-ish 400, Moody matte, cool grade.
The files it writes
The Ricoh GR III records RAW as .dng. Also native DNG. Combined with the fixed lens that makes these among the least fussy RAW files to work with — nothing to convert, nothing to profile.
What a .dng file actually contains — compression, bit depth, embedded previews and which software reads it.
Deconstruct a Ricoh GR III edit
Open a photograph and its .xmp sidecar in the Studio to watch the edit replayed stage by stage — then publish the recipe here, next to the notes above.
