Hi all,

good news: I've ordered my DSLR (Canon EOS 400D).

I've never shot raw before. I do own Adobe Photoshop CS2. I'd like to know - in preperation - how your raw workflow looks like, in particular of those who use Adobe Photoshop CS2.

Many thanks,
Michael

I probably do it slightly different than most. Open in PS CS2 RAW (of course) and adjust WB and exposure as needed. Then save as a .TIFF file and close RAW. Re-open in CS2 and make any other changes I deem may be needed. The reason I do it in this fashion is that I don't like the small image size on the RAW processer. I just prefer the larger image in PS. Old eyes and personal preference only. And, in theory at least, so long as you do all your work as a .TIFF image there's no image degradation. If there is another advantage to doing the PS work in the RAW processor, I'd be interested to hear it. Always open to learning new things.

I use DxO Optics (http://www.dxo.com) to batch process from RAW to JPG, then edit the JPGs in Photoshop. I shoot using a 1Ds MkII, and White Balance is rarely something that needs adjusting - especially for studio shots.

DxO does a pretty nice job with the conversion, and it corrects for lighting, distortion, softness, vignetting, and noise to boot.
