I must admit it took me a while before I was 100% happy, my advice would be don't be tempted to use every slider, and use "camera neutral" as the base, change curve to straight, and change default as point curve. When you get into it save a few presets.

I bought Martin Evenings book and it really helped me.

Quote: How do I shoot a raw photo with my Canon SX130

Don't believe you can shoot RAW images with this Canon camera, although I'm not sure, however if you need a manual, it can be downloaded as a PDF file from Canon Here. Hope it's of some use to you...

The RAW file format is digital photography's equivalent of a negative in film photography: it contains untouched, "raw" pixel information straight from the digital camera's sensor.

A typical JPEG file contains several irreversible elements. With a RAW file, the photographer can postpone these adjustments to the editing phase giving them more control over the image.

These adjustments are often referred to as ‘RAW conversion’ or ‘RAW processing’.

RAW format allows the photographer to set the white balance after the exposure has been taken and alter it accordingly without damaging other elements of the photo, as what happens with JPEG files.

Another poster was spot on: when you open a jpeg file and make adjustments and save that file, the jpeg gets compressed and you lose quality (the size decreases).

RAW allows for greater image manipulation; so a lot of people will shoot in RAW, edit in Lightroom or CS5 (most often) and then export the file to their desktop as a jpeg. This jpeg is the final composition with all adjustments finished.

Hi Back again

Just found this on how to get the SX130IS to shoot raw

http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK

Did a little reading (ONLY a LITTLE) and found it is the SDHC card that is programmed while in a card reader

But early days yet

Have to delve much more deeply

Cheers for Years
