In-Camera Editing

[subseasniper]

Hello all,

I thought I should put a couple of pics up that I have edited in-camera from RAW files (in the RAW development setting in the playback menu). I have been really impressed at how well the GR edits and how far images can be processed/cropped.

Enjoy

yeah, the GR take awesome raw files. And you edited it very well

I am glad to see that someone else uses the in-camera raw development. It must have been a real work of firmware genius and provided free with every GR camera. It also gets the "reds" right every time (grin).

No upgrade fees.

However it seems that doing your thing in-camera is not the same as doing it in a bought raw convertor off camera. The in-camera raw developer might not have quite the depth of tools that a bought software suit might have but it is a pretty good subset.

For those that have not tried it - there are some neat features:

1) You can shoot raw-only and create a full size jpg file in camera for magnified browsing - creating it is three quick key strokes: in playback - menu>right arrow>menu and the separate jpg appears stacked immediately behind the original.

2) If you shoot raw in B&W then a colour jpg can be recovered in camera - just remove the B&W setting

3) The images created are stacked in order made immediately after the original capture. This makes checking them easy and natural. If you magnify the screen you can jump from one magnified part to other versions at the identical view by using the sideways motion of the adj lever to move between them.

4) Out and about you can use a spare non-photographic moment to prototype some images you have recently taken - a source of great interest for me - better than carrying a book.

5) If you get your colour balance wrong you can easily test which balance "works" right on the job.

A great little tool I hope that lack of interest does not cause it to wither on the vine.

Who else uses it - speak up! Those that don't - give it a try ....

Tom
