The trick is to first adjust the light in RAW (possible in a free program that comes with a camera, for Nikon it's ViewNX) to get a "good" sky, and convert this into JPEG (the land is almost black of course). For example you want to correct a picture where one object (a sky) is much lighter than the other (the mountain or tree). My dad found several tricks to get around this. When you shoot in JPEG on a camera, it makes medium-quality processing to save time, so you lose information. I read that JPEG from a camera and JPEG you get when you convert from RAW on your computer is not the same. Greg, Tom, Jamey, anyone.? What would you recommend? All I really need is a program that lets me do basic digital darkroom editing, while allowing me to keep the highest quality possible in my pics. I really don't need tons of bells and whistles or the ability to seemlessly put bigfoot into my images. if so, I'd just assume pay the more modes $80 for it. I'm wondering if the new version of elements - photoshop elements 8 can handle larger files than 5 which I'm using now. I'd love to get the new photoshop CS4, but at $600.!!! I really don't know about that. So, it appears that if I want to get the most out of the images I'm getting, I need to upgrade my software. When I do this, I might as well be just shooting in jpeg - the results seem to be the same. It forces me to convert larger 16 bit color and higher pics into 8 bit images. The problem I'm having is that I'm using photoshop elements 5 for all of my editing. I'm just now attempting to get into RAW, to get the best detail out of all of my pics. I'm hoping some other photographers on the site can help me with dilemma.
