raw question

12 years 11 months ago #56844 by Time Cut
I am of the understanding that a jpeg does some processing in the camera. So if I was to set my cameras settings with for example enhanced contrast, sharpness etc that will be taken into account in the jpegs image.
If i choose RAW are all these settings ignored in camera entirely.
Would I be correct to think that the RAW setting only looks at ISO, Shutter and Aperture?

You are correct in that the camera settings - contrast, saturation, sharpening, noise removal etc... are not performed to RAW shots. The data is essentail RAW from the camera sensor so there is no editing applied to the shot.

very interesting and helpful. I just need to know how to fix the raw files in camera raw now! So i assume i can make the raw look as the processed jpeg or better just using camera raw?

so i suppose a good way to practice may be to shoot in raw and jpeg basic and open the jpeg in a viewer next to the raw file and play about with the raw until something more along the lines or better than the jpeg look?

Yes - though remember your shooting RAW to get more than just the JPEG - so whilst its good to start that way and it will show you where you need to edit a bit more on your RAW files, do remember that you have that added control now and can impose your own view on the editing of the shot if you so desire
