Hi
Having recently purchased a used Canon S70 as a walkabout camera with raw support, I would like to know what settings people have tried in ACR in regards to sharpness, luminance smoothing and color noise reduction. After comparing the raw to an identical JPG shot I am using Sharpness=35 Lum Smooth=20 and CN reduction=35. I feel this may be tweakable and I am also wondering if I should make different sets for different ASA.
I own Capture One and the camera is not supported nor is it supported in the Canon pro
Raw processor and the basic one that came with the camera is useless. Any other suggestions?
The camera produces what I consider to be very fine results and I carry around all the time!
Thank You

Paul,
Another raw converter that does support the S70 is Breeze Browser Pro, which I normally use just to help me catalog my shots. I haven't used ACR yet, since I am used to the C1 LE workflow. I can't suggest particular settings yet, since I generally adjust things on an image-by-image basis. I have noticed a lot of noise at higher ISO speeds, and I plan to eliminate that with Noise Ninja instead of during the raw conversion. The S70 does give surprisingly good results, and I use it for things I never expected to use it for when I first got it.

RawShooter also reads the .CRW files the S70 creates.
And you can download Adobe's DNG convertor for free and convert the .CRW files to .DNG (Adobe "digital negative").
