Very, very nice gallery, Nigel. I see you used rather wide apertures with your RX10, most of the times. Was it made intentionally?

Got C1 10 and I am still in the "trial" period. My reason for moving to C1 is I am not satisfied the way LR renders the Sony .ARW image files (never met such a "critical issue" when converting and ...

Hmm... what you see on the screen is just what your computer CPU/graphic card (?) is able to process and your screen hardware (whatever technology) is able to render. Are you sure is is 'deeper' ...

Anybody tried? Your impressions: just for pro's - for amateurs too? Worth the price? (69.00 € each set - I don't know how much in USD) Which pack?

In Lightroom or Capture One you can save your files as JPEG or TIFF. Also DNG, but that is just the "universal" RAW, and PSD that is a proprietary (?) Adobe layered format. TIFF (and DNG) are the ...

Yes, all came from my bad use of words (english is foreign language for me) and some unwanted misunderstanding. To stay in theme with your tropical landscapes: Location was Ile de la Réunion. ...

David, unfortunately there is nothing like an 'untouched RAW file' for us to view. AFAIK conversion to IPEG (in-camera or by an image editor) is a necessary 'step' for building an image on a ...

Again, that was absolutely AWAY from my intention. You are an excellent photographer and I do apologize.

I should have remembered that "disgusting" in English has a much different flavor than "disgustoso" in Italian. Not even dictionaries catch that! Thank you again. Ciao

Sure I am not the one who wrote this: ... and frankly speaking, after reading that (and something similar in the same thread) I asked myself "is there any reason for me to stay here?" That's so far ...

I started using film compacts in the '70s. Then my 1st SLR was a Konica TC (just like you!) in the early '80s. Built a 'system' with several lenses from 28 mm to 200 mm, including a rather rare and ...

Exactly! The visible difference can be negligible. But when you apply a tone curve during editing, you get less information inside a given tone range, and this may translate into pixelation, ...

OK Here we agree that a good photographer shall have developed both shooting skill and editing skill. But I would say that the risk of poor editing is the same with both JPEG and RAW. In-camera ...

[...] [...] First, the images you showed here are simply astounding, as usual with yours. Nothing 'halfbaked', nothing 'overcooked'. Just an extremely accurate editing. I fully agree with you that ...

Sorry, but nowhere in my OP I wrote that you cannot get a good image by a JPEG file. It was someone else to (mis)understand that way! After that you can read the "image quality" section of any ...

You couldn't be farer from reality, indeed! Photography is just a hobby for us, isn't it?

IMHO the truly good photographer is the one who combines a good eye (catching the moment, understanding the light, framing) and good editing technique. I agree with you that no editing will make a ...

I agree with you  on the great progress made on in-camera image processing. Yes, now a good in-camera jpeg engine allows you to tune many settings. BUT, it will always be a pizza cooked (sometimes ...

Oh, yes! For instance, with the RX100 III continuous shooting frame rate drops from 3.3 fps (JPEG) to 2.7 fps (RAW). Is that critical for you? iPhones/smartphones are there for this! Hopefully ...
