You mentioned that you would have preferred two slots to Jpeg and RAW, and so I was enquiring as to why you didn't use Jpeg + RAW, with a hunch that you may not know about that option, and it seems I was correct. You then come back and said "as I pointed out before, I wasn't about to let my friend down by not being able to use the Boots print machines immediately after the session". The Boots machines should have just allowed you to print the Jpegs, and and may not have even 'seen' the RAW files. Maybe something to test out at some point in case such an occasion arises again..... Fair point IF both RAW and JPEG can indeed be sent to the same single card* < I expect they can. BUT if not it would have meant losing my handheld position (literally in gale force wind gusts) while I reset to and fro between RAW and JPEG while the same subject was on the pavement and as I said in my post, JPEGs were all that were necessary. This whole session of shooting 10 fish species took 33 minutes and was needed in a hurry. I also didn't want to confuse Boots printing machines, which I had never used before, with RAW unsupported CR3 files on the same card. It simply wasn't practical to additionally shoot RAW in the circumstances.
*EDIT: I have checked the EOS R settings and there is the option to shoot both RAW + JPEG. However, as I pointed out before, I wasn't about to let my friend down by not being able to use the Boots print machines immediately after the session.
You mentioned printing in Boot's, but then showed an image that had been edited. Not being sure what the On1 filter effects did, I questioned whether I was seeing the image correctly as it was a big departure from a natural image out of a camera. It seems I was. If you are happy with the image, then fine.Re your lighting question, you have missed what I wrote :
Adding the ON1 Effects and graduated Filter have been applied to enhance my image as a picture rather than just as a photograph with a bland white polystyrene background. The filtration has also brought out the more golden parts of this fish species Zeus faber known as 'John Dory' - derived from the French 'jaune dore' meaning golden yellow.
However, if my picture is not to your taste, that is a different matter.
Sorry for taking an interest and trying to help.
