[QUOTE="ohkphoto, post: 9158, member: 1573"] So are you getting the same shot as a jpeg and a raw file and they both look the same? Raw files will look a little duller (sometimes) because the camera does not do any processing. The camera DOES process jpeg files, so I think Michael's link above is a good place to start regarding camera control setting. I don't think I'm wrong in this, but it seems that the jpeg shots should be a little more vibrant if you have the controls set correctly. I shoot raw with a D2x and still get orange and blue skies to my liking. Also try stopping down a little. Maybe the camera is overexposing the skies. Another issue could be the lens. What are you shooting with? I used to use an 18-55mm DX lens and was blaming my camera for dull pictures. Got better when I went with a better lens. I would recommend you look into some post processing software, too. This is your "digital darkroom". I use Lightroom because it's easy, a great orgainizer and [B]non-destructive[/B]. But there are others out there and some are free. Best Regards [/QUOTE]
