Thanks for the replies :thumbs: This endorsement for his Scottish associate certainly helps. The problem with being in the depths of rural East Anglian is that no one ever gets to hear of you :) !

Earlier this year at the Suffolk show I was impressed by some prints by a particular photographer. Now that Christmas is coming round I am looking for the perfect gift for my brother in law and was thinking of a day's course with the afore mentioned photographer...

Fantastic. Nice sharp pic's.

Don't own one but have used one on my 50D on a number of occasions. Great lens for the price if this is the focal length that you are after.

Really interesting thread. Thaks for all the comments, it has really helped my understanding of flash use.

You could be right. Thought I had checked all this but looking at the CS3 settings again there may be other options that are impacting things. I'll post back once I have had a chance to look into it. Thanks.

Thanks Andy. It could be but I haven't managed to locate anything (not that my understand of CS3 is anything like as good as it should be!).

Ok, had a bit more of a look at the settings in DPP. Can't see anything that might be affecting the outputted jpeg/TIFF files. It must be something to do with the way that DPP displays the files. If I export a RAW file to a 16bit TIFF then view the two side by side in DPP then they are...

Thanks for the posts folks. Printed results are also not as good as I would like. Far and away the best image is achieved when it is viewed in DPP as a RAW file. I'll have a look at the various settings in DPP then post back.

My point about the images being the 'same' was just that the jpeg was generated from the RAW without any further adjustments being made. I am not editing the jpegs, I had done all the editing that I wanted in the RAW image. So, back to the original problem: how do I generate jpegs that are as...

And yet it is the same image. The jpeg (RH) is just the RAW (LH) saved as a jpeg using the DPP 'Convert and save' option.

Yep. That's what I'm talking about! I'm getting some really good shots but the only way to really show them off to their best is as RAW images in DPP. That can't be right, can it??

This probably doesn't illustrate it too well but here goes. Screen cap cropped in CS3: Not sure this really illustrates it too well but you can see some dirrefences. The image on the left is the RAW in DPP, the right is a jpeg in CS3. The jpeg colours aren't as rich. The blacks aren't...

Good suggestion, I had that thought a while Robert. It is a slight improvement but the pictures still lack that 'wow' factor that they have when viewed as RAW files in DPP :shake:

Colour space is set to sRGB in camera, CS3 and DPP. There's no danger of me falling off the wall u8myufo! It's just frustrating, I look at the images as RAW's with a bit of tweaking in DPP and have a nice feeling about it all. They look great. Some of them look fantastic! And then I show...
