The K3 III in the comparison tool

Hello MPM2,

I know that somehow this entire raw processing "business" has to be resolved. But image the following scenario:

- You have two (different) photo editors, and you will start with the first one

- You open the raw file in the photo editor. At first, for a fraction of second you will see the bitmap image generated from the jpeg file, which your camera created (based on the jpeg settings in your camera). Such jpeg file with a limited size always accompanies the raw data.

- Then the bitmap image (derived from the jpeg file created by your camera) is replaced with a "dull" looking bitmap image, which is the "personal" interpretation of the raw data. It is personal to the used photo editor.

- Based on what you see on the monitor you make adjustments of all needed image parameters and you will save the post-process file. I usually create a new jpeg file, as I want to preserve the original raw image. This jpeg file is result of my "endeavour" and this file I will be using for viewing/printing, etc.

- Now you open the raw file be the second editor. You will be tweaking another "dull" image (and this one is a differently dull image, as the second photo editor used different parameters to show you bitmap image) to your liking. I assume you would want to end up with the same results. So you will end up with another, final jpeg file.

- However, those two jpeg files will have to be different, as you started your post processing from two, differently looking images .
