I have to ask thhese two questions about 'RAW' in the context of a D100.
As far as controlling one aspect of color rendering on this camera is
concerned, I get the impression that the only difference between shooting
RAW and all the other shooting modes (TIFF-RGB, JPEG fine, ...) is the
ability of choosing a color temperature (for the white balance) later, once
the NEF is opened in CameraRAW or Nikon Capture. Does that souund like a
fair statement?
According to my understanding of the UserGuide, in RAW, the WB setting is
disregarded, and so the scene is not 'rendered' color temperature wise until
the image is opened in an NEF editor. Fair?
In all the other shooting modes (TIFF-RGB, JPEG Fine and so on) the choice
of WB is 'fixed' at the time of recording the scene. The pixels are rendered
at the selected color temperature (cloudy, sunlight, incandescent and so on)
at the time of capturing the scene. Fair?
One thing that still eludes me from reading the UG is the choice of
ColorMode in the context of shooting RAW. Is the Color Mode (I, II or III)
independent of the shooting mode (RAW vs JPEG vs TIFF-RGB)? Or is that also
'fixed' at the time of shooting the scene?
When I open an NEF in CameraRAW, I see a drop down menu of target RGB spaces
(like AdobeRGB, sRGB, ProPhoto) on the lower left hand of the dialog box.
Is this just retagging the file like an Assign or there's actually a profile
conversion going on behind the scene from whathever Color Mode the shot was
taken under to this target RGB space?
Thank's in advance for any help. Nikon Tech Support say they take 4 days to
reply to any tech support question through email... :(
Apart of Rob Galbraith type of forum, are there any newsgroups that you know
of where one can post some not 'color management-related' type of question
with regards to operating a D100?
