Format and post?
Do you guys shoot in raw or jpeg?
how much post processing do you do? i tend to shoot in jpeg and just clean up color a little and sometimes crop. What is your workflow like? |
Normally I have my camera set to save large fine jpeg files. My adjustments are done in a canon program called Digital Photo Professional. I think this set up is more than adequate for posting on the web or email.
If I am on a " purpose" shoot I set my camera to save 1 RAW file plus 1 jpeg file. I mainly use the RAW files for local printed competitions or for night time star images. In the next 2 months I will be trying my hand at solar photography and for that I will use RAW files. Jerry |

I do the bare minimum amount of PP I can do to get the image they way I want it to look and/or how the image looked in real life. As we know our cameras have a limited amount of dynamic range so it will never be able to produce exactly what our eyes see. It also depends on the subject matter I am shooting. For example of Dancers in my studio I need to crop and sometimes add in some background (if they jump off the paper)... if I am doing head shots cleaning up blemishes on the skin is important...if architecture then I may need to shooting multiple exposures and combine later to do an HDR image....if automotive I may need to clean up some dirt specs on the car or blend in the lighting if using strobes....etc.. It really just depends on what I need to create. That said I am abit old school and believe in "Getting it right in camera first" instead of "fix is later in photoshop" type of person. |
I may start trying raw. I may have the camera do raw + jpeg for a few and see what it’s all about.
then decide later. |
