Beautiful woman. I find the pose interesting. It's not what one would call a natural pose, but it is evocative and glamorous. More typical of fashion photography than portraiture. My only nit is that it appears to be oversaturated. The shadow areas have become very red and are too sharply

By the way, with RAW and the PSCS converter, you could do more. First, the RAW conversion will be somewhat more detailed and sharper. You could fine tune some of the color, but adjusting the different values seperately. The gradation between shadow and open areas would be smoother in the

Part of the color problem, it seems, is that the image has an embedded profile of Adobe RGB, not always the best choice for web display. You might be able to get away with Elements 3, although I'm unsure how it handles RAW files. Y'might want to go to the Adobe site and explore that possibility.

When shooting JPEG you're shooting 8-bit color, RAW gives you 12-bit. That probably contributes to your observation. Shel [Original Message] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: pentax-discuss@pdml.net Date: 4/1/2005 6:43:30 AM Subject: Re: PESO - Girl near a window ... First, the RAW

On my monitor the original comes over as rather dull, and I was trying to inject a bit more puch by upping the saturation and contrast. Perhaps I was a little heavy-handed. Also, the colours are not very faithful to the actual situation; the background wall is a pale blue (not painted by
