Re: Basic Photoshop settings for RAW JPEG conversion.. EX2F?

Everyone has their own way for dealing with raw files. I always shoot raw.

although others may disagree this is the methodology that I utilize.

I bring the raw files into Adobe light room and immediately change them to DNG raw files. This allows me to make changes to how the raw file will be displayed without ever making actual changes to the initial information. This way you can always have your original image to work with yet you can make many different variants of the same image.

by using the DNG raw file format I help assure that future programs will be able to read by raw files. Additionally using this format stores in one file my original image and my listing of changes to that image. I do not need to have a sidecar file alongside of my raw file.

As with many things in life a great photograph has strong appeal for what is NOT in the picture.
