No I have not got it yet.. 2 more incredibly long and horrible days to wait but I have been reading, yeah, thats dangerous...

I like very sharp and bright photo's, I always shoot RAW and always add saturation and sharpness, can these be set by default higher in the camera for a RAW image or only in jpg?

thanks guys.. any other standard settings as a starting point is much appreciated..

You can set them in the menu under "parameters." Though I prefer to saturate colors and sharpness in PP.

Yes, you can. You can download the 20D manual from the Canon site here http://www.usa.canon.c​om …egoryid=314&mod​elid=10464 (external link)

The 20d has 2 preset parameters and then 3 sets the you can program. If you have "soft" lenses you can bump the sharpness up and the saturation up in camera on one of these sets. you can still do some sharpening and color editing in PP but this should give you a little head start.


Just another shutterbug.

It's better to do it in PP than in camera. In that way, you can adjust the image after the fact. You can't remove parameters settings once the shot is taken.

I guess the head start is what I was looking for, so I need to shoot a few images and see what needs to be bumped in RAW form, then adjust to help reduce PP.

I often take several hundred images a day and it would save me a little time as long as I don't over do it.

thanks everyone

I'm thinking some of the other responders have misunderstood your question.

Changing the camera's parameters will not change the RAW file itself. However, Canon RAW conversion software like DPP will read the parameters attached to the file and make the same adjustments by default.

If you use a non-Canon RAW converter, you'll get flat, unsharpened images and you'll need to make the adjustments with the software.

Only problem with capture one pro is the uber expensive price for just raw conversion and post processing.
