I've recently started shooting almost exclusively in RAW and I'm wondering what processing parameter gives the greatest post-processing flexibility. The 300D has Parameter 1, Parameter 2, Adobe RGB and 3 custom sets, but the little booklet is vague on the differences.
I've been using Parameter 1, but should I switch? I'm afraid if I drop the sharpening too low, it will be difficult to recover sharpness in Photoshop.
When shooting RAW, does the parameter just tell the PS CS RAW converter where to start the adjustment sliders?
Thanks,
Ara

The parameters have no bearing on the final RAW image. RAW is just that - no in-camera processing at all. It gives the least finished look, but the possibilities are greater afterwards.

All the parameters have no real bearing on the RAW file, they can be changed in Photoshop, that`s the beauty of RAW.
THis is the 5th thread maybe that deals with RAW images. I highly recommend Real World Camera RAW in Photoshop CS, a great book, explains everything and shows you how to develop a RAW workflow.

What about the Adobe RGB setting doesn't that have something to do with overall color range? Or are those settings just for JPGs?

Just for JPGs, you can change the Colour space when you convert the RAW file in Photoshop.

Ok, thanks. I'll look into that book. And, I really like that sand pic in your recently added shots.
