Ann, a properly exposed JPEG image (like you were shooting slides) can still yield results that are IMHO indistinguishable from RAW capture in MOST instances. I come from a slide background & find that when I get it right in the camera, there is little or no post capture processing required (with the possible exception of cropping and slight hue & saturation adjustment). Even when I blow the original exposure I can still set white/dark points which can overcome some exposure issues.

But if I shoot NOT in raw, and my exposures and white balance and everything are on target - that is as if I had made a "good negative" - should't I be able to produce a file that will meet the stock agency's requirements for a digital image now that I have a camera with 8 megs? so much about the digital stuff I'm ignorant of - and already forgetting stuff I've learned. ann > > +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > > Brian Walters > Western Sydney, Australia > > Quoting Godfrey DiGiorgi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > > > On May 16, 2005, at 6:59 PM, Ann Sanfedele wrote: > > > > >> Adobe Photoshop Elements v3.0 includes the ability to use the > > Adobe > > >> Camera Raw v2.4 plug-in, which will do RAW conversion processing > > on > > >> the > > >> majority of RAW formats on the market.
