Converting from Raw to Jpeg
-
Guys,
I am seeing an issue when I convert from Raw to Jpeg. Pictures are as I want them in my Raw browser but when I convert to Jpeg and view my jpeg in PS, I have lost considerable quality.
I know this is quite a vague statement but does anybody know what might be happening.Any thoughts welcome?

Need a lot more info., even on such basic things as to what converter you are using, what JPEG compression you are setting, are you using a colour managed workflow, do you get the same problem converting to TIF, etc., etc.
And just what do you mean by “have lost considerable quality”?
Hi Thorsten,
Im Using Canons Zoom Browser EX 5.8 to process my raw Data. Im working in AdobeRGB.
When Im using the raw converter there is much more saturation and the eyes are more alive, in genral the picture looks much more alive.
When I convert to ExifJpeg, I loose this alive factor and the pictures appear to be less saturated and the eyes loose a large proportion of catchlight that they might have.Color space is the same in PS as it is in Raw converter.
Saving in maximum quality Jpeg and the problem is still there when I convert to Tiff.
Any Ideas?

Hmm, nothing obvious springs to mind here. I don’t use ZoomBrowser, as I prefer to use the more comprehensive Digital Photo Professional (DPP). From what I know, ZoomBrowser gives you the same output that you would get if you were shooting in JPEG mode. So, why not try an experiment – set your camera to shoot RAW+Large JPEG then convert the RAW using ZoomBrowser and compare it with the camera generated JPEG and see if there’s a difference. If there is, then it’s most likely some setting in ZoomBrowser.
Better still, bring yourself up to speed on DPP – it’s a superb RAW converter, though sadly misunderstood and underestimated by the vast majority of Canon users.
Hi Thanks Thorsten.
I will try that experiment and see what the results yield. I will also research DPP converter you sugested and others and I’ll let you know the outcome.
many thanks,
Max
