You haven't seen MY trashalcina:
. I'm still playing with settings and often get blurs and things they have not made software to fix yet. Color and contrast are the least of my worries .

OP
SeaYoda:
Oh yeah, I get those, too. But not as many as I used to - you're well on your way...like Dori says "just keep shooting, shooting, shooting (sic)" :fish:

Yes, a bit of both. For fast moving or skittish subjects shooting in RAW on the C5050 is useless when combined with the shutter lag. Better to get a SHQ shot of the subject than ending up with a RAW 'fish butt'
. Within strobe range I need minimum post-processing (curves) to get nice exposures so JPEG provides satisfactory results. The third reason is that extra step of adjustment when using the RAW convertor, though one can argue that one would spend that time working with curves and levels with JPEGs. The RAW thumbnail browser that plugs into Windows Explorer has also made life a whole lot easier.
Hey All,
This sounds like a good place to post my newbie question. I figured out from reading this thread that the Oly raw converter I just downloaded is a "basic" converter without the bells and whistles. Here's why I'm still confused. The plugin, as I see it, converts the propriatary Oly *.orf file (raw file?) to a format Photoshop can import. As I've discoved it gives you 3 "on the fly" options to convert including WB. I've been experimenting with saving the files as *.psd and *.tiff. So if I've converted the *.orf file to something I can save in PS, what is the actual PS *.raw format? I can save the imported file as a RAW file bit I'm lost there. I'm confused, PS sees a *.raw format but Oly's formay is ORF? And when shooting in Oly's "RAW" mode it saves the file to ORF?
Depending on what converters I eventually end up with will I be saving the files with a *.RAW extension and then open that with PS?

Hi alcina, I took your first shot and tried to see what I could get by exposure- and color-correcting (I hate that term anymore) the jpg. Here's what I came up with. Obviously there are some jpg compression artifacts.
It's a really nice picture. Good job.

Your raw file had a lot of data as you guessed. My attemt at a touch up to your photo.
