Title: Improving color saturation in digital slr cameras
Post by: Jonathan Wienke on March 28, 2003, 05:08:20 pm

You will get better results "tweaking in Photoshop". Any processing of the image done by the camera is irreversible; processing done in Photoshop can be customized to produce the optimum results for each image. If you are doing the same set of steps to numerous photos, learn how to make and use actions in Photoshop.

Aren't the settings irrelevant if you are capturing in raw mode?

I had been given the same suggestion by a friend with much photoshop experience when I first got my D60 last May.

Read Michael's tutorial on "instant photoshop," and you'll see that much can be done using layers so that you've even more options without permanently changing the image.

Best wishes,
Pete

Steve,

I believe so; I tend to shoot a lot of JPEGS and only RAW on occasion, so I wasn't even thinking along those lines.  Sorry for any confusion.
