[QUOTE="westmill, post: 61311, member: 9330"] I shoot in ND when I shoot JPGs. You will find all of the options have different paremeters. You can adjust each of the paremeters at will though on the individual settings to match watever you want. Vivid is good for dull overcast days and will add punch to an otherwise flat shot. In the same way as fuji velvia did for film. The way i work is simple. After taking a number of pics at different locations etc.... the chances are you find yourself altering a setting exactly the same for every pic. In my case, I noticed I increased contrast in every pic. I then upped the contrast in camera in ND mode. I then increased saturation slightly. I did this until I was happy with the results. Now I get good punchy results straight from the box. Nikon leaves the standard sharpenning pretty soft for JPGs compaired to the likes of cannon etc so there is lots of scope there too. I dont like overdoing sharpness in camera though. I find I get much better results just knocking sharpness up a couple of notches and then sharpening the end result in unsharp mask. This will give you biting sharp results :D [/QUOTE]
