Re: Using the Embedded JPEG from SRW files

I find this quite interesting… I was not aware that there were jpegs in some raw file formats. Makes sense I guess.

Kind of off topic but what I have always wondered is what is the process (aka settings/algorithm) the camera applies to the “raw” sensor data in camera to create the jpegs?

A few months ago I handed my NX1 to a friend to take some pictures of me climbing and I put it into ‘A’ for him and to my surprise the NX1 only takes jpegs in auto mode!?! But to be honest I was really impressed with the look of the NX1 jpegs straight from the card.

Anyways my point is it would be nice if there was something like a preset in Lr that would run the same algorithm the NX1 does in camera on a srw file and adjust all the slider settings to use as a starting point then you would just need to go and make creative tweaks. Granted some might find this “cheating” but as someone who mainly does video I am not beyond using standard LUTS. More time shooting less time on the computer
