just out of curiosity, wendy, do you shoot RAW+jpg, or just RAW? if you are shooting RAW+, would you mind processing your jpg file as best you can and posting up the results of that? i'm really curious to see a solid side-by-side, no bs comparison of the end results. while your final edit of the RAW file is extraordinary, i'd love to see how close you could have come working with nothing but jpg image data.


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!

With some experience to develop the ability to recognize what could be good, it works pretty well with .jpg too.
This one was done with an old Fuji S3 Pro years ago.
The original is in the comments box when the image is viewed.
