Fiendish Astronaut said:All this makes me question whether I am processing my pictures correctly. When I shoot in RAW (which is usually) I don't do anything to the image until I have converted in into TIFF using the conversion software that was bundled with my Canon. Then I go into Photoshop and make the adjustments. Should I be looking to do some processing on the RAW image BEFORE I convert into TIFF (and then finally in JPG)?
D-50 said:As for disk space if its a concern why not shoot in raw, do you editing in raw save to JPEG and delete the raw file, its not that hard to delete a file and shooting in Raw will alow for more leeway in computer editing.
Meysha said:definately do your editing in RAW mode if that's what you're taking the picture in. RAW mode doesn't 'destroy' the image each time you edit it.
This is similar to what I do. I keep the RAW as the original, and the TIFF as the edited form. For me, the JPG is the least important one, since it has the least quality and can easily be recreated from the TIFF. I do almost no editing before converting from RAW. Since I work in b&w, I don't care about color balance. If the default has blown areas, I'll make special adjustments, but I usually batch convert. Keeping the TIFF is very important to me, since that's where all the work is, in case I want to go back and tweak it.Archangel said:I would process the RAW.... edit and save in ps as a tiff or psd..... save a jpeg copy for the web..... once you've uploaded the jpeg to the web you can dispose of it..... but keep your RAW in case you go back and re-edit the pic..... and use a tiff to print from.
Meysha said:Why do you convert your photo from Raw to tiff then to Jpeg?
So long as you're not planning on editing the jpeg/tiff again after you save it, then it's pretty safe to cut one of these steps out. Just keep your original raw, your edited raw and a web friendly jpeg.
