[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 253863, member: 13090"] Just my two-cents on this... My thinking is this... If I'm going to shoot JPG then I've tacitly decided to do as little PP as possible (I find working with JPG's in Photoshop clumsy at best), otherwise I wouldn't be shooting JPG to begin with, I'd be shooting RAW. That being the case I adjust the in-camera settings as much (or as little) as I need to so that my JPG's are as good as they can get right out of the camera; again, to me, that's the whole point. And, in my admittedly limited experience with JPG's out my '7100, it does a damn fine job with minimal adjustment. The Sharpness setting is, IMO, a critical one mainly because I think the factory default setting is waaay too low to begin with and actually softens the output. I've sometimes thought a tweak to the Contrast setting was in order, but that's a matter of taste really and I've gone back on forth on it. I do like to use "Landscape" setting when shooting JPG because I think the color saturation is a little better than "Standard" but not as strong as "Vivid" which to me is a little too strong generally. Don't know if any of that helps or matters to you, but there ya go! [COLOR=#ffffff]......[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
