Re: "Raw" for dummies ?
Sorry, I only saw this thread now, coming back from my carnival hollyday
(well, I´m in Brazil, the year starts today :-( ) . The begining of my
knowledge on RAW processing came from Real World Camera RAW, by Bruce
Fraser:< http://www.amazon.com/Real-World-Camera-Adobe-Photoshop/dp/0321334094/sr=8-1/qid=1172062402/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-1759101-6732937?ie=UTF8&s=books>
(actually, the first edition, for PSCS). Later I learnt some more from
this
one:< http://www.amazon.com/Art-RAW-Conversion-Art-Quality-Converters/dp/1593270674/sr=8-7/qid=1172062626/ref=pd_bbs_sr_7/102-1759101-6732937?ie=UTF8&s=books>
, which gives some other very interesting POV.
Hope this helps,

,,,my textbook, The Photographer's Guide to the Digital Darkroom
(Allworth, 2006). It's available at Amazon. You might find it a good
investement. It will help you understand why and when Raw or Jpeg
makes the best sense. You could follow-up by emailing me any
questions you have, off list if you like.

Well darn, I wish you'd told me that last week -- I was at College Art
and, among other book displays, visited the Allworth booth... I saw
that book in the catalog, tho don't recall it on the table... but I
probably wouldn't have opened it even if it were, because my
experience with the digital books has been so grim. I have several (I
calculate about $150 worth), two of them recommended on this list, and
I came as close as I feel a book should take me to having a stroke
from them both.
Meanwhile, thanks for suggestion.
