But its been pre-processed digitally so its not true RAW In my opinion. That's the only reason why the 22 bit processing Makes sense to me. Do the capture and preprossing at 22 bits And downconvert to 12 bit RAW for final output. jco

In other implementations there may be gain control in the analogue domain before digital conversion, here it's applied digitally, the only processing of significance is gamma curve transforms which would be applied on a per colour channel basis. Since the data isn't demosiced at this stage it's still RAW albeit contrast controlled. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
