[QUOTE="Blade Canyon, post: 639883, member: 15302"] I did all the Adobe updates so ACR and PS could read the new D850 RAW files. Usually, a photo opened in the ACR window will look the same once opened in Photoshop. Not the case here! The way a photo looks in ACR is much different than it looks once opened in Photoshop. The problem is that the way ACR displays the photo is so bad you can't tell if adjustments made in ACR are any good! It's easier to go straight to PS and make the adjustments there first, then use the ACR filter just for exposure or other minor tweaks. ACR - Note the blowouts and strange posterization: [ATTACH=CONFIG]268253._xfImport[/ATTACH] The flat image with no adjustments, opened in PS, with no blowouts or posterization: [ATTACH=CONFIG]268250._xfImport[/ATTACH] The JPEG from the camera with no adjustments: [ATTACH=CONFIG]268251._xfImport[/ATTACH] And for those curious about the D850 resolution, here is an 11% crop from a different shot. This was using the JPEG file: [ATTACH=CONFIG]268252._xfImport[/ATTACH] As you can see from the file numbers, I'm still in my first hundred shots. This weekend will be the time for some serious testing and comparison to the D800. [/QUOTE]
