Re: Samsung EX2F Raw vs RAW vs RAW+the various JPG modes

Firstly, the EX2F is one of the very few cameras that has little or no compression of RAW files, which gives a very clean image. Shoot RAW, convert to 16-bit tiff in Samsung's converter, post process in whatever suits you and change to grayscale, even in free FastStone. This shot was taken RAW with my D700, converted to 16-bit tiff in ViewNX2 and then into grayscale in FastStone.

Old barn at Montrose.

Field near Maryhill.

I thought that the whole purpose of RAW files was:

1.) The file is uncompressed.

2.) The file let's you "develope" it the way you want to.

3.) You mean to tell me that there actually are RAW files that are compressed?
