<p>My pictures come out bland straight from the camera. I know RAW files need some tweaking but my case is quite extreme. I didn't have these issues on the canon 5dmkii as much as I have on the nikon d700. Contrast and saturation are very low on the nikon.</p>
<p>Here are some examples taken over the weekend with early morning sun, the most pleasing time for landscape photography. Conditions won't get much better than this.</p>
<p>First is a RAW copy, second is processed in camera RAW. Colors still look iffy to me. What can I do?</p>
<p>Second example is processed in photoshop with layers. Better but colors look kinda greyeish. I realize canon is more saturated and more contrasty but I also realize there are plenty of great pictures taken with the nikon d700.</p>
<p>Any advice on exposure and post processing?</p>
