Nikon Raw and settings

surfg1mp · #1 01-07-10, 21:48

Just a quick question.....

When shooting raw, what settings are carried over into adobe camera raw. I know what you see on the view finder isn't what you get when you open the raw file.

do the vivid etc settings carry over..?

I'm no expert with ACR Lee, I use Capture One myself, but I'd expect the settings to get carried over. The benefit is, you can then change them in ACR if you decide you prefer something different.

Thank you duncan i did think they should carry over as I couldn't see the point in them if you only could use them in jpeg.

My other point was that the raw preview you see on camera isn't what you get when you open the file one ACR all the desired setting have to be applied then, like colour saturation, sharpening etc.....is this correct?

If its the same as Canon Lee, then what you see in the camera is a jpeg of the RAW as all RAWs have an embedded jpeg. These jpeg's have saturation, sharpening .... applied which you will not see in the RAW.
To get a truer representation of the raw I use a customised picture style which has reduced sharpening, saturation and contrast - that way what I see in the Camera is very near to what I see when I open the Raw.

Yes I do Lee. With canon you have three user defined picture style which you can set-up. Not sure about Nikon.

Thanks roy have to look into that! I have heard something about custom settings in nikon, maybe one of the nikon guys like andy or robksi can help with this.

You don't say which Nikon camera you have, however if you log on to the Nikonians website they have produced custon functions guides to nearly all Nikon DSLR's.
