Title: Phase one P30+ file format
Post by: woof75 on November 10, 2009, 09:37:57 am
When shooting the P30 plus at ISO 200 is there any difference in image quality between the IIQ S and IIQ L format?

Yes. There is a difference especially if the image is pushed (e.g. +1 stop or drastic WB change) in the shadow detail.

But whether you'd look at the difference and say "boy that's barely noticeable" or you'd say "bah! I'd never do that to my image" is something only your own eyes can tell you.

I'm quite a picky er.. person so I'd better stick to the L format. Plus, these images are going to be printed really big too and the client is very very particular.
