Worth a look. For a free application it has a lot of good stuff in it, and it is very fast. Some use it as their primary editing platform. I use it for quick viewing of raw files from my Nikons and Sony cameras, and sometimes for resampling/renaming images. It has a tiny footprint - about 17 mb. You may find it useful.

When you become a RAW photographer, you become the decision maker for these considerations in post processing, where many had been decided by the camera for the JPEG:

1. Sharpening
2. Noise Reduction
3. Color Saturation
4. Exposure adjustments, general
5. Contrast, general
6. Highlights and shadows
7. White Balance
8. Lens corrections
9. Color space
10. Pixel resolution for target image share platforms
11. Disk storage (for the larger files)
12. Image file back-up strategy (for those larger files)

You don't have to understand all these issues, but when you do, you'll be much more successful as a RAW photographer.

You might resist the peer pressure of the photography club; and instead, consider whether a higher quality lens coupled with expert-level shooting technique yields more tangible results as compared to more computer time after shooting.

No you can't. Not in the same way and to the same degree. For example I can set two different white balances in and image processing raw. You can't.

I use ON1 RAW 2020 software.
In sharpening you have different opportunities to sharpen. Plus in resize, in which you would sharpen after you have PP.
ON1 is headquartered in Portland, OR and has 30 day free trial as well.

Where does Ken Rockwell say that Gene's comment was BS?

Hello Hoggers

Iā€™m new to digital photography. Is sharpening recommended for images shot in RAW format? Is there any reason to shoot in RAW and JPEG?

Thanks


Yes, ALWAYS sharpen ...........for me, NO reason to shoot raw - and I DO always post process JPEGS.

I suggest you purchase and read Jeff Schewe's The Digital Negative to get the answer to your questions. You might as well get a firm foundation on the reasons for RAW as you are just starting out.

As mentioned in the following two posts, Adobe Lightroom applies the defaults for both Noise Reduction and Sharpening to all RAW files, regardless of camera type nor ISO level. Both are better than nothing, which is what you get from the RAW files, but the defaults are rarely better than nothing.

The specific behavior of the software being used needs to be evaluated. The camera manufacture's software will typically respond to the camera settings where third-party software will not.

I looked at these threads a while back. Good stuff. What it says is how much sharpening needs to be applied is picture dependent.

Every successful photographer is driven by an inner voice telling them everyone else is shooting in RAW.
