Jack,
My understanding is that RAW gives you more shades of colors in eachpixel and
more opportunity to adjust colors in post production, butjpeg or RAW, you still
have 6 million pixels to work with...no more,no less. So I look on RAW as just
a way to get better post processedimages, not anything to improve resolution.
On resolution, Rob S. has done some great pano's and the stichingprogram he is
using is rather slick. I'm getting this picture (4portrait oriented shots
stiched)members.aol.com/rfsindg/curve.jpgprinted from a 3,000 by 5,000 jpeg
shot with my *ist DS.We'll see how it looks at 20 by 36 inches.
Regards, Bob S.
