That question is, I think, the crux of your problems. The answer is, ideally, no. But in practical terms you never see a RAW file. You see a version of it that has been rendered by the converter and takes into account the camera settings and the converter settings. IOW the settings do make a difference because they decide how the file is displayed in the absence of any additional edits. I once, some years back, had an editor that offered a de-mosaiced view of a RAW file with no other settings applied, but it was fairly pointless. It was just too raw to be useful. regards, Anthony "Of what use is lens and light to those who lack in mind and sight" (Anon) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
