Apparently, even the "RAW" mode is heavily processed on most cameras. :-( "The supposedly raw images produced by most Bayer-sensor cameras are in fact heavily edited images prior to downloading them to the computer." http://www.anandtech.com/digitalcameras/showdoc.aspx?i=3363 I think there should be a "TRUELY RAW" mode available. Provide the bits straight off the sensor. (documented format lossless compression is ok) The good news is that the Foveon sensor isn't as bad relative to Bayer as previously thought. Now we need truely raw images from each to compare. _______________________________________________ Open-hardware mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-hardware
