Poor Quality of Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 with Canon RAW Files versus Canon Converted RAW to TIFF in The Digital Darkroom: Process, Technique & Printing Posted August 12, 2005 I recently have been shooting all of my pictures in RAW format on my Canon Digital Rebel 300D in both AdobeRGB and sRGB color spaces. I have tried numerous 3rd party softare for RAW conversion, but tend to still use the latest Canon tools. I mostly like using the EOS Viewer Utility 1.3. I have done both jpeg extraction and TIFF extraction (8bit, 16bit, 16bit linear) to test. If I am going to be using the image on the web I extract at 72 ppi. These images then brought into Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 (latest updates applied) as TIFF or JPEG look great. If I try to use Adobe's conversion from RAW right into their application I loose quality (noticed when looked at at actual size). Also, their is no PPI choice. It just defaults to 240 PPI. This basically tells me their conversion software is just not very good, unless someone else can tell me something I might be missing. Has anybody else had this same experience. Is this the same technology used in latest full Photoshop? Joe
