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

Ah, so, you know how this camera has this nice fast lens. Well, performance isn't always great wide open. Are all your shots wide open? Try stopping down a bit, it will also give you more depth of field making things sharper. The downside is it will be darker, so you may be at a higher ISO, may look a bit more like the old camera.

Most of the excitement and ink devoted to comparisons of these compact digitals' lenses based on speed/aperture should be taken with a grain of salt? The gushing over this was everywhere. So is it the case that this range is only useful under the most pressing circumstances with the condition that IQ must suffer? Or will I learn to love it for subjects with a relatively flat plane of focus where background blurring is desireable? Under what other circumstances is this aperture a real advantage?

Would this thread have been more appropriate to the beginner's forum? I wasn't aware of how near the bottom of this learning curve I really am. Coming from the previous camera is like starting anew.
