300D RAW and JPG parameter

[lamoine_einspahr]

Does a RAW image specific to a 300D have any sharpness, contrast, etc

adjustments to the image as a JPG does when using parameter one? Does using

parameter one affect RAW images at all? If not, what adjustment in photoshop CS

equals parameter one? I may have to revert to JPG for card space on an upcoming

trip. I want to understand the differences.

The only things that affect a RAW image are ISO settings and exposure. Things like contrast, saturation, sharpness, color balance etc. have no effect at all.

 

You can adjust those additional parameters in most RAW conversion utilities.

But doesn't the 300D auto white balance affect RAW? I just starting shooting RAW recently and the white balance is on Auto and the RAW images seem right on. Maybe I've just been lucky.

AFAIK...The RAW file has the "as shot" WB setting in it. So the way the RAW preview image looks will be affected by the WB setting...but you can change it at the point of conversion.

White-Balance, Contrast, Sharpness are stored in the RAW, but they are not applied on the data in the RAW-file. Therefore a RAW-Converter can

take those values as defaults for this picture.

Thanks, I will bear that in mind. I was fearful that RAW had its own adjustments made by the 300D in addition to any I use in CS.

Thanks Lamoine
