[QUOTE="hark, post: 687795, member: 13196"] I'm wondering about this, too. I'm also wondering if this has anything to do with one of my previous questions about shooting in Adobe RGB vs. sRGB. There was a shift in saturation depending upon what devices I used to view the images. And going back to Mike's question...if you are simply converting from RAW to jpeg without making any edits, most likely your images will look rather unsaturated with little to no contrast. And they will lack the sharpness of jpegs. That's because RAW images lack many of the embellishments that are applied in camera to jpegs. If you are viewing the NEF's with Windows Live Photo Gallery, you probably won't see the [I][B]real[/B][/I] RAW file. My NEF's tend to look better using Windows Live Photo Gallery than they truly are when viewed with PCC and/or Lightroom. If you use Lightroom or ACR within Photoshop, go to where you can choose between several different camera profiles. These are options such as Adobe Landscape, Adobe Color, Camera Landscape, Camera Portrait, and more. You can toggle between them to see the differences. But no matter what, NEF's require editing before converting to jpegs. Otherwise they are lackluster to view. [/QUOTE]
