Hi Doug,
Thank you for pointing out that Canon
software!
Not only does it allow processing in RAW, it allows me to remotely and wirelessly control my camera via my computer and see my photos (in full resolution) immediately after each shoot!
Wow!
I never realised how laborious the process I took for granted of transferring the SD card back and forth between camera and computer was by comparison!
I sent you a PM but on reflection I think my questions may be of interest to others and is
still within the subject / theme of this
thread.
1. The Canon
software has preset processing (e.g. sharpening) which it applies to each RAW image and which can be undone and modified. Do you start off with that preset processing and then make adjustments, or do you turn that preset processing off and start from the raw RAW image?
2. On the subject of lighting, is there any difference for a given aperture in having more lighting and faster shutter speed, vs. less lighting and slower shutter speed? My reading on this says that exposure is theoretically the same (I am using aperture priority mode) but that a faster shutter speed is preferable for sharper images. I am using a copy stand and would like to know because I can get more time from my battery operated light if I use less brightness. Also I would like to know in case there are any noticeable differences in image
quality. I have not noticed any.
Thanks,
Peter
