Thanks Godfrey, Bob and Doug. I see now, these settings only affect JPG.. I will shoot raw only, after scanning film for years processing raw is peanuts :-) As far as my understanding regarding raw processing goes so far, as much adjustments as possible with the exception of sharpening and maybe denoising should be made in the converter and not later in Photoshop to get the least quality loss and best result, is that right? Is there a difference quality wise between Lightroom, Camera Raw and Pentax Laboratory or other raw converters? Camera Raw seem to be the simplest for me on first sight and if it's auto settings are good enough I could batch process pef's with Bridge/Photoshop, any opinions on that?
Thanks alot and greetings Markus more that 3 rolls of film on a 2gb card -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Godfrey DiGiorgi Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2007 1:51 AM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: Saturation/Sharpness/Contrast settings at "Natural" in K10D Since I capture using RAW format 99.9% of the time, all the image processing settings like sharpness, contrast, white balance, etc are almost entirely irrelevant. I suggest you leave the settings at the defaults and then experiment if you're unhappy with some aspect of how they render the image. Or switch to RAW and do it all yourself. ;-) Godfrey On Mar 7, 2007, at 4:36 PM, Markus Maurer wrote: > What are your experiences with the settings for saturation, > sharpness and > contrast so far? > Can I just leave them at the default natural setting or would I > even get > better results lowering for ex. in camera sharpening (and/or > saturation/contrast) and doing that as the last step in Photoshop > after all > other adjustments?
