The berries were photographed under daylight-balanced studio lights and the low light shop scene was under bare tungsten bulbs. Adobe Lightroom is easily the most popular image adjustment program on the market. It has some limited basic features. Run synctoy to backup images. The rest looks good though: it has a simple interface, it can batch convert multiple files at once and it even offers some conversion settings. You can use free software and convert one file at a time, or buy pro version to convert canon raw images in bulk.
Also, Lightroom is designed to allow you to adjust lots of photos quickly. Summary What was presented here is just a small window into the overall comparisons I looked at, but the differences illustrated here were the most-pronounced I encountered. It has lot's of features that will do 90% of anything you will ever want. These are things like white balance, color adjustment, sharpening, or noise-reduction. My next question was, could I tell the difference if I increased or decreased exposure during post processing? We decided to make using raw.
I don't think the camera moved as I commonly saw the same difference in comparisons and the little M50 was very solidly mounted on a and. I prefer to retain version 17 on my computer although there is a new version 18 available as a Free download simply because v18 requires you to be connected to the internet for it to work. It has lot's of features that will do 90% of anything you will ever want. In such a case you obviously wouldn't have much time for editing. Note that if you can't see the differences at 100% resolution, it is unlikely that you will ever notice them. Also, the tools don't actually apply the changes to the original image. It may look neat and clean, but its functionality is too limited for my taste.
You can upgrade to a pay version for extra functionality, but at the moment I am finding the free version very useful. It is free with the camera. Being ever-skeptical, I'm still looking for a good reason to not use it. Irfanview is a pretty neat and fast editor I use. Easy to install plugins and I make sure it uses the Canon dlls for processing raw files.
It has some limited basic features. Please help on how i can convert these to jpeg and still have the sane image i took. Otherwise, I tink it's pretty silly. Of course shooting with both will take up more space on the memory card. To resize, just go to the resizing option and change the dimensions of the images.
How big is the difference? Similarly, if you can't hear a 30kHz sound, it doesn't matter if your speaker can produce it unless perhaps your dog cares. Drop your files right into browser window, press 'Convert All', set conversion parameters and get your files in no time. If you don't have the plugins you will get a formats. If you shot several dozen photos all the same light conditions, you can adjust the white balance of just one. If your goal is simply a jpg, you should start in jpg and be done with it. That way, the community will be able to assist you with suggestions appropriate for your product. Other operations can be performed along the conversion of your raw images - such as resizing, flipping, rotating the photos.
I can see shooting the two formats simultaneously if, say, you're a wedding photographer and want to have a slideshow of the ceremony available at the reception. So we have developed this small light-weight utility which can be used to convert canon raw images rather easily. Let's start with a 100% resolution comparison example. Run picasa to sync to web 7. Still, it takes a very strong 3-stop boost in brightness to show even this tiny difference. It is not free but it isn't expensive. It is being actively developed in the open as I write this.
You are going to be challenged to find them. It doesn't really matter whether the camera compresses the file or you do so in edit. They keep the original image and the adjustments separate and just auto-apply the adjustments to the on-screen image you see. Shoot the same comparison again and the random noise will look similar in quantity, but still different. This complicated software is usually quite expensive and require installation on your desktop computer. With my trusty 400D nothing comes out greater than 1936 anyway.
