Another thread about filters got me thinking about this.
On the Nikon D7000 at least, does Vivid in Picture Control perform the same function as an Enhancing Filter?

Vivid increases saturation and brightness, not exactly the same as an enhancing filter.

If you shoot RAW and PP later I wouldn't suggest Vivid..

Why is that. How does it effect the raw image?

Excellent question. I would like to know the reasoning behind that statement as well.

I stand corrected I went back and reviewed the info and the guy in Magic Lantern is shooting JPEG fine. Sorry for the mispost.

The reason is that if you shoot in Vivid the camera does some in-camera PP on the image (i.e sturation for one). If you shoot RAW without Vivid it lets you choose your own saturation in PS or other software.


So you are saying that it is better to be a photo editor than a photographer?

After reading your post MT I have a question. How does having your camera set on Vivid make you a better photographer?

The subject was on shooting in Vivid vs. not. What does one have to do with the other? How does either make you a better photographer? I acknowledged my mistake but I don't see how anyone can make the leap you made. Doesn't matter ...don't want a pissin match..I respect your opinions and will continue to do so....Peace

My entire comment was based on your unsupported statement that you should not shoot "Vivid" if shooting RAW. I was merely looking for valid support for such a statement when you retracted it. I am not here to argue either. I use the Vivid setting often when the light calls for it and did not agree with the inference of your statement was all. Dialogue is not arguing, nor is it starting a "pissing match".

No.
The question was, does Vivid perform the same function as an enhancer.

Not sure I understand your question but Vivid does enhance color saturation. I just did a little research on the Vivid and RAW issue. Everything I found says that when shooting RAW the camera ignores the pre-sets including Vivid.
