Still getting to grips with the D3100 settings.
I've set Image Quality to RAW.
Picture Control is at Neutral, mainly because I set it there when I first began configuring the Menus, and a Gary Fong video seemed to indicate that this was a good idea.
However, after I'd learned a little more about post-processing, I changed Image quality to RAW.
Question: If I were to set Picture Control to say, Monochrome or extremely Vivid, but left Image Quality at RAW, I assume my stored data is not affected in any way. I mean, that's basically what I have now.
But what would happen if changed Image Quality to say, JPEG Fine?
I ask because it occurs to me that this would be a quick way to change from creating a large file that requires post processing to a smaller, specifically enhanced image that would be more attractive to show children or a gathering of relatives.
I hope I've framed this query so that it makes sense
