[QUOTE="fotofanish, post: 493223, member: 40699"] Still getting to grips with the D3100 settings. I've set Image Quality to RAW. Picture Control is at Neutral, mainly because I set it there when I first began configuring the Menus, and a Gary Fong video seemed to indicate that this was a good idea. However, after I'd learned a little more about post-processing, I changed Image quality to RAW. Question: If I were to set Picture Control to say, Monochrome or extremely Vivid, but left Image Quality at RAW, I assume my stored data is not affected in any way. I mean, that's basically what I have now. But what would happen if changed Image Quality to say, JPEG Fine? I ask because it occurs to me that this would be a quick way to change from creating a large file that requires post processing to a smaller, specifically enhanced image that would be more attractive to show children or a gathering of relatives. I hope I've framed this query so that it makes sense :rolleyes: Edit: Here are a couple of links that might be relevant: [url=http://improvephotography.com/4545/8-things-you-didnt-know-your-dslr-could-do/]Advanced tips for mastering your DSLR camera[/url] [url=http://forums.cameratips.com/discussion/150/is-raw-affected-by-in-camera-picture-controls]Is raw affected by in-camera picture controls? - Nikon D3100 Forum[/url] [/QUOTE]
