RAW files processed using Lightroom 5.4, a quick try

I'm also posting a dropbox link to the original JPEG files and also the .cr2 RAW files if anyone is interested to download them.

Hi Graham Whiles, while I don`t own the camera, and I`m still an amateur, I wanted to give a quick try to the RAW images you uploaded, using Lightroom 5.4.

In my humble opinion, and with my limited editing skills, RAW processed JPEGs still look much better to me than the original JPEGs - which I find to be expected.

Even though I understand and respect the idea of shooting JPEGs, I think that for getting the most (or at least much more than from straight-out-of-camera JPEGs) out of your equipment, and G1X MK2 sure is a capable piece, processing RAW files to your liking is still needed.

What do you think?
