But when the cameras write the data in RAW files on the cards, all this gets clipped/compressed/transformed (insert correct term here) to AdobeRGB. Then what's the point in working in ProPhotoRGB? Can the raw converters by some magic undo the transformation to AdobeRGB made by the cameras? I'm really confused now. -- Attila -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
