Studio scene comparison (Raw)

This is our standard studio scene comparison shot taken from exactly the same tripod position. Lighting: daylight simulation, >98% CRI. Crops are 100%. Ambient temperature was approximately 22°C (~72°F).

For this scene we use our standard Raw workflow (sharpening turned off in the raw converter and applied at an equal level in Photoshop before saving as JPEG):

• Load Raw file into Adobe Camera Raw (Auto mode disabled) / Capture One
• Set Sharpness to zero (all other settings default)
• Open file to Photoshop
• Apply a Unsharp mask: 100%, Radius 0.6, Threshold 0
• Save as a TIFF (for cropping) and as a JPEG quality 11 for download
