In particular, if you are using Lightroom anyway, the processing for raw or JPEG or TIFF or PSD files is presented by the exact same tools and UI, so if you can edit one you can edit any of them. The difference is that with raw files you have a lot more processing potential to work with than any of the others. Lightroom's standard calibration and camera profile defaults for raw files are generally quite good (although usually different from the in-camera JPEG rendering options) so there's little real difference between doing the simple effort of bringing in JPEGs and outputting them to size and doing the same thing with raw files. As soon as you start to adjust things, however, the greater resiliency and capabilities of the raw files are immediately apparent. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- 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.
