Just real quick, What are the set of parameters you most often use, if any at all.

RAW, Auto white balance, lowest possible ISO
Don't usually bracket or do any of those custome things. Easier to do after
Are those the parameters you were asking about?

| What I was referring to was If you use any of your own set parameters such as sharpening, contrast, saturation or color tone. Sorry I hadn't made that clear. |

Ahh, well, still doesn't change my answer really. Prefer to do everything in post processing. So, as the others say, RAW

I use RAW so the parameters you refer to are irrelevant. They do effect jpeg. I haven't played with them at all.

I like to have more control over those things, so I shoot RAW, as technically precise as I can, then adjust sharpness, contrast, etc.. as needed after. Tried sharpening in camera but even at the lowest setting the images looked too sharp or more sharp in weird places.

As someone who still shoots in JPEG mode (primarily due to storage space concerns), I tend to leave everything on parameter 2 (all at 0), and do any sharpening or contrast enhancement in post processing - I prefer having the fine control of doing it in post, rather than going with the in-camera stuff.

If I remember correctly, everything on high with sharpening on low (-2, or whatever it is). Sometimes I shoot RAW but I'm reevaluating that (again!) because it's a memory hog and I'm just not seeing a drastic difference.

| I'll jump with a question into this thread: when shooting RAW, is the data captured in sRGB or Adobe? Also, does anyone know what sharpening, contrast etc. settings are used when selecting Adobe RGB from the parameters menu? |

| Adobe RGB just refers to the color space so all sharpening, contrast, etc settings will affect the image the same way depending on color space. The color space is defined in the menu so RAW data will be recorded in whichever color space you select. |

Neither, after you convert the RAW image, you can save it in sRGB or aRGB.
Let's see if I remember right, Adobe RGB has a slightly bigger color space than sRGB, meaning it allows for more colors/data about colors. It's not a hugh difference, there is another program called photopro that has a lot bigger color space than adobeRGB. For veiwing on the web/computer, the default setting is sRGB, if you print and your printer supports aRGB, then there is potential to have more color info on your print. In reality it's not a real big difference.
In terms of JPEG parameters, having seen the various versions on DPR's test of the 5D and a few others, there really isn't that much of a difference. You can do a lot more in photoshop. I would consider Neutral or parameter 2 on 20D/300D and adjust contrast/saturation on the computer. If you don't do any post processing, parameter 1 that adds a bit of contrast/sharpening/saturation maybe a better idea.

| I actually shoot in both but not as much raw lately. I guess now that I am using CS2 I will switch my mode back. But when I do studio I just don't see the need to control it that much. If I am not controlling my environment then raw and manual. I do all my sharpening and processing post shoot. |

I work strictly in raw. There is one adjustment I am always concerned and that is color temparature. Yes, this can be addressed also in raw but when you are totally off I find the raw adjustments do not full justice. Most often it works okay but on some tests I made a while ago, results no longer available, increasing the temp from 2500 to 5600 there was no real comparison with same image shot at the proper temp.
I knit pick to death so you may find temp adjustments no real problem. |
