Does anyone have any suggestions as to good settings in Processing Parameters for tone corve, sharpness and contrast?

I'm shooting a wedding in RAW+L(arge JPG) and would like to use the JPGs as much as possible for quick proofs etc. Of course, the raw will be there for more precise adjustments, but I would like some suggested settings for the jpgs.

Anyone that can help?

It's really all going to depend on what you're used to using or how you have a tendency to shoot.

You should probably do some test shots...

But for the most part, if you're looking to just print out direct without doing any work, something like:

Sharpening +
Contrast +
use the most vivid color mode you have
Saturation +

etc...You're aiming to have your camera do as much processing as it possibly can for your jpeg's so it'll be ready to spit out some decent 4x6's.

One thing to be wary of is that the higher you set the settings the more likely you are to clip highlights/shadows/colors. I've played a very little bit with the JPEG settings on my 5D and when I put them all all the way up it gave some psychadelic results. My suggestion would be to try some random test shots with different settings and see what you like.

i shoot in Adobe RGB mode, jpg L fine, jpg quality 8, with Picture Style set to Standard (3,0,0,0), and i'm really happy with the results.
