Cat lady on Parliament Hill( 12.06.05 )

A few things - I am quite pleased with this shot, as well as a few others I might be posting over the next few days. I am however disappointed that they were all shot at ISO 800 on a nice bright sunny day. :( Lesson learned... remember to check ISO.

You may have also noticed a slight change in my processing over the past week or so. Yes people.. it only took 6 months, but I am finally processing in RAW and what a huge difference it makes. I will never go back to JPG. I finally have access to a computer that has enough RAM to process CRW2. It used to take me 20 min to even open a file on my clunky old laptop and it would normally crash when trying to do so.

One thing I have noticed is that I will process in CS2 using Adobe Bridge, slightly edit in Photoshop, but when I go to optimize in Image Ready my photos occasionally lose colour and saturation. Can anyone explain this?

She doesn't look the stereotypical "cat lady". I started shooting RAW in July/August and refuse to go back to JPG unless I have a really good reason to. As for the problem with loss in colour and saturation, it sounds like the colorspace that the photos are saved with. If you're shooting and saving in AdobeRGB, you may find the photo looks a bit faded when viewing on the Web or apps that don't support the AdobeRGB colorspace. If you're planning to post it on the Web, save a copy using sRGB colorspace. In PS CS2, go to Edit->Convert to Profile. In the new window, under Destination Space, select sRGB. Give that a try.

^^ good tip! She really doesn't look like a cat, eh? I love cats and you've got great exposure! I constantly forget to check ISO also, my bf tests out higher ISO than I and mucks about with the camera so I'll go and shoot and then come home and unload and ... WOW .. 800. WOW 1600!!! argh. I started using RAW a few months ago when I got my new camera and you're right .. you'll never want to go back to JPG, EVER! I was just complaining tonight that my HD space has dropped 6 gb in the last two weeks. *reminds self to go buy more DVDR's tomorrow and start archiving*

Yeah, she certainly doesn't look like the typical "paper bag princess" type of cat lady, that's for sure!

I was going to say the samething about the sRGB colourspace, but Ed beat me to it ;) Fortunately because you're shooting in RAW, you can convert it to JPEG in either sRGB or AdobeRGB without any loss of information. It's when you jump back and forth between already converted images will you being to lose some information/quality.
