U now saving ur pictures in RAW format??

walau, RAW makan a lot memory leh...
not only hard disk not enaf, memory card limited pics...
y take pics in RAW in the 1st place if u gonna compress your RAW pics to JPEG now?
it defeats the purpose of taking in RAW...
n wat for have good cam that takes good pics but compress it later?
burn your pics into CDs or DVDs la, or invest buy another hard disk or an external hard disk

yea only shoot in RAW if u want the maximum IQ and it has more details. So when u r PP-ing ur photo, u still have much details in there.

By shooting RAW, u can control various settings like white balance, exposure and it's the uncompressed highest quality u can get

so if wan compress to JPEG, compress after PP-ing

ya, compress after PP-ing the photo. Keep a original file after PP-ing so that the photo quality will no be degraded again and again after each PP-ing

no problem doing that, if u got large space hard disk la
imagine keeping copies of pics from a D3X at full resolution, dunno how many hard disk

Then have to spend more money for HDD

true, my anime,movies,music downloads + now camera pics = decreasing hdd space...
nid spend again, wallet feeling very empty... >.<

btw, i'll be in HK from 2moro for 9 days
await for my pics~!

Take good photos there and take full use of ur SB-900. And come back and share ur pics here

18-55mm soften with noiseware:D

Can someone help me?

Where can i buy a used/cheap portrait lens? Perhaps a minolta 50 f1.7?

You're looking for a minolta lens in a Nikon thread?

Try asking here. And look for one here. or search here.

Haha. I'm just asking actually. So what will happen if i convert my now Jpeg to a smaller size?I use this software called PicaView32. My brother install it for me. It decrease the sizes of pictures but don't know what happen to the photo. Just asking is there any side effect?

u mean decrease photo file size or photo resolution size?

Well it depends on how the program resizes it. It can reduce resolution or reduce jpeg quality. If reduce resolution, picture can still look sharp but if decrease quality, the picture may start looking fuzzy and pixelated better known as artifacts.

It decrease the photo size. I don't know about the resolution but it greatly reduce the size. What do it do to those pictures eh?Delete some information in it?

Check the file properties and see if the resolution differs from the original file. What the program does? It compresses the photo with jpeg size reduction algorithm.

if in daylight, shoot in jpeg. if difficult lightning, shoot in raw

i like to shoot in RAW format...can have much more options when editing..RAW files are like the films of SLR cameras.

later transfer to PC, edit it as you'd like..then save as JPEG...if you think no need to edit again..can just delete the raw files.. it's what i do..
