[QUOTE="Hyogen, post: 344541, member: 12676"] I'm sorry I didn't take your edit seriously. Honestly, I thought you were being a troll and saying that Canon looks bad. Your example looks as if you burned all the details in the face for example...that's what I mean by gritty. Maybe I'm not using the correct monitor to see what you're seeing. My macbook IPS screen and laptop calibrated screen, Galaxy IPS screen (phone), and external 24" screens all look the same to me. I can understand why you added contrast to bring back the details that were washed out. My example above should demonstrate that I'm not a complete noob when it comes to taking pictures or getting nice skin tones. As much as I like how I processed the above photo, it's not the STYLE I want to use for weddings. As for my poor example RAW file, I think I just wanted to show one I had wasted a ton of time on trying to get what I wanted out of it. I just checked out a friend's D800 RAW file and it wasn't too far off from my D600 files, but perhaps a little more neutral. I have downloaded about 10 sample 5D3 raw files and I feel it was significantly easier to get the colors I wanted. Maybe it's a placebo effect...Anyway, I would hate to have to sell and rebuy everything while losing Nikon's control layout. So, I'm not going to give up just yet.. I think it's just as simple as Nikon for Landscape, Canon for People. If it's possible to get the same style that I want, then it just simply takes too much time than it's worth with the Nikon D600. You might know Ryan Brenizer, the popular Nikon shooter...he said the same thing about skin tones with the D600, as I stated in my original post. [/QUOTE]
