I don't shoot RAW + jpg -- I just don't have the space. I've already filled up multiple hard drives because of DPC! I kind of wish I had the room, because when I switched to RAW, I shot both for awhile, and there were definitely times that I liked the camera's jpg options better. |
You may have an option to output a JPEG from your RAW in-camera. It would use whatever in-camera processing settings were in place when the shot was taken, and output a "Fine" (or whatever the highest quality is called) JPEG that would be identical to what you would've gotten if you'd shot in JPEG mode. My Nikon does this; not sure if Canons have the option. For me, I go to "color correction," then don't actually mess with it (leave it at the neutral zero-point), and hit OK. It's how I get around the RAW+JPEG on the camera being RAW+"Basic JPEG", so I can have a "Fine"-quality JPEG "original" in case I don't feel like processing later on. |
whoa -- that would be so cool!! I'm not even sure where to look that up, but I'm going to have to try to find out whether that can be done. It would be awesome!
