Title: Clarity and the in camera jpeg
Post by: DarkPenguin on August 13, 2009, 03:52:53 pm
Out of curiosity does any camera have a built in clarity like (wide radius usm or local contrast enhancement) control?  (Neat.  I removed something from my desk before my cat could push it to the floor.  This clearly offended him.   I'm going to have the boys stitched back on him and have him fixed again.)  Just seems like the kind of thing that would help jpeg shooters.  Would be neat if they tied the default  to the lens as kind of a standard lens correction.

The newer Panasonics are doing all sorts of things in camera. I just bought a little waterproof point and shoot (DMC-TS1). It's definitely removing CA, among other things. Very little user control over it though. I'm not necessarily opposed to that type of processing, but I would like to know what's going on, and to be be able to manipulate it. I'm not sure what it does for sharpening, for example.

Clarity I would like control over.  In the case of CA and distortion I'm really happy with the magic fixes my panasonic g1 does.  Especially since ACR will do them.  I wish the canon lens fixes were in ACR.
