[QUOTE="480sparky, post: 180340, member: 15805"] What the 'purists who claim to not do post processing' cannot accept is the fact that they actually do. They either don't understand how cameras truly work, or conveniently ignore the truth. Fact 1: Every camera sensor.... from the top-shelf bodies to a low-end cell phone, takes a raw photo in the beginning. Sensors ---do not--- record JPEGS. Only the in-camera processor (ooh, I just heard the purists cringe) does. Fact 2: The cameras processor (another cringe!) converts the raw data, applies the settings chosen by the photographer, and saves the results on the memory card as a JPEG. Fact 3: Since all this is done after the second curtain closes, it is, in effect...... post processing (a third cringe!!!). The images doesn't know whether the steps were done in the camera or on a computer. Fact is, there's no difference between the two. [/QUOTE]
