Nice when I got my d7000 I up graded from the same camera. Do you shoot in RAW or jpg file format?

Hi Daniel,

I shoot raw, and have done so for a few years, although it does involve more work in PS.

I like the flexibility raw gives me, especially with white balance.

The main reason I shoot RAW is for the flexibility it allows in Photoshop.

But I won't attempt to turn a bad picture into a good one.

The best results are always achieved if you start with a nice sharp, and reasonably exposed image.

My basic adjustments would be White Balance, and Cropping,.

Then I re-size for the net, adjust Levels, Unsharp Mask, add a watermark, then save as JPEG.

The whole process takes between 10 - 30 minutes.

We don't get Autumn here in the tropics, just 2 seasons, Wet and Dry.

We're at the start of the Wet (the 'Build-up') at this time of year hot and humid.

The late Dry would be the closest thing to Autumn here, but everything is usually burnt.

Once done editing in photoshop I can save the images as jpegs right?

Yes that's right.

I actually save the RAW file as a PS file, then Save As JPEG when I'm finished.

I only shoot RAW these days, and almost always adjust the white balance, which improves the colour instantly.

Even the basic presets like Shade if the photo was taken in the shade make a big difference.
