View Full Version : RAW Shooting for Maximum Creativity?

All Digital SLRs have user settings for Saturation, Contrast and Sharpness.

Since I shoot RAW because I want the maximum opportunity to be creative after the shot, I need to know where to set these sliders?

My goal is a RAW shot with zero in camera processing. A true digital negative. Just the image as received by the sensor.

Setting the sliders All High is obviously out because that is too much in camera processing.

My question is should the sliders be set at the middle or at the bottom?

Do cameras start at zero, the bottom position of the sliders, and increase image processing as you move the sliders or is zero the middle and image processing is a +/- thing from there.

Thanks all,
joe

In camera sliders have no effect on raw as raw is just the sensor readings put into a file.
