So a jpeg and a RAW file shot from the same camera with the same sensor have the same 'latitude'? If represented as a stairway in a house from ground floor to first (or first floor to second for the US market ;-), the jpeg house has (say) 15 steps taking you up, while the RAW house has (say) 32 steps taking you up to the same height? And so this is why shooting RAW allows greater flexibility in terms of 'dynamic range' of an image? One point: surely an LCD monitor can't display that dynamic range fully for pics viewed on a web page? Could a print from a best quality inkjet printer? -- Cheers, Cotty Not a mathematician, nor a wet darkroom dude, just a bloke with a camera ;-)) ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
