[QUOTE="SteveH, post: 354530, member: 9252"] Shooting in RAW (NEF) won't ruin a picture, it will however appear a bit "Flatter" and less vibrant. The JPG output is just a RAW file that the camera has processed for you as far as colour saturation etc is concerned - And in doing so, it make a lot of assumptions in what it thinks you want. Looking at the examples here, I suspect this is more a focusing problem. In the first picture, the rear leg at the far side is in focus, while the near side isn't - Either the focus point was on the far side of the spider with a narrow depth of field (Low F-stop number) or you were too close - Looking at the exif data, you used F8, have you tried using a smaller aperture such as F11 or higher? Take a look in the Macro section, and see what typical settings people use for the type of shot you want. [/QUOTE]
