[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 203166, member: 9240"] I have a D800 and am absolutely with Horoscope Fish. Out of the camera the D800 RAW files can look rather flat depending on what you're reading them into. Lightroom will at least apply whatever camera profile you were shooting in so they should approximate what you see in the jpeg preview on the camera. If no profile is applied at all then all you have is the RAW information, and there's a lot of it. But you should be able to tweak that fairly easily in post-processing to get to where you want to be. If she's shooting in a controlled environment a lot then I suspect that she will be able to come up with a set of presets that could be applied as a universal starting point on the photos, either during import or immediately afterward, which would save some time. You're also going to want to learn how to properly set the White Balance at shooting time, even though it can be fully manipulated in post. If she doesn't have a grey card to use to set it a great, and quick way to choose the best preset WB is to put it in Live View, hold down the WB button on top of the camera and use the back data wheel to cycle through the presets until you find the one that works best. Out of curiosity, what is she using for post processing now? [/QUOTE]
