Camera Settings

[Barbara]

I always shoot RAW and my camera has different setting for L/Scape, portrait,neutral,faithful and mono (in camera, not programmes), it also has user defined  choices.
I don't know if these settings make any adjustments to Raw or are they there to enhance when shooting Jpeg. I am sure someone can tell me
 
Shooting RAW does produce a rather flat image , If I remember I under exposed this by 1 stop .......................But
 
These days I think I enjoy PP more and more, especially with Lightroom

That is one beautiful bit of post processing Blackrox.

All setting applied in the camera are removed by the converter when a RAW file is opened - using the original software may show them in place but these can still be adjusted or removed when processing.

Some RAW Converters may have Camera Profiles in their options which are similar to the ones you can set at the time of taking the shot to make processing faster but again these are none destructive and can be removed/adjusted to suit.

I think I'd prefer something in between those two versions? Gorgeous scene though.

Thanks BP and everyone for comments

I always wanted to paint but could never get to grips with mixing and blending colours always ended up with something the colour of mud, I also had a shot at B&W film processing years ago but found it a very expensive & steep learning curve.

I love digital it gives me a basic image,  and I get to mix and blend the colours.

In all of the time that I have known you, Barbara, you have always had the knack of bringing the best out of a shot.
I love the mirror shine on no 2,  but maybe a little darker, unless it's my screen making it look bright..

Oooops!

I think version 2 is just about spot-on as far a brightness is concerned. It looks very nice indeed.

 

Does it need a little straighten, though?

That last version will do for me, just right I reckon

 

Back to the original question, the RAW file is without any processing from the camera 'modes' so you make all the decisions in postprocessing. If your camera can record both RAW and jpg, then the settings will be applied to the jpg.

 

I'm not sure, but I think they are also applied to what you see on the camera display screen.

i like version two best, looks like a brilliant sunny autumnal day just my cuppa T 

 

i do agree with Korky though it could do with a tiny bit of straightening IMO

[NannyFerret]

That's spot on, Barbara.

To my eyes, that's perfect
