Well, there are 2 riders in the first shot...........!!
lol thats actually the j-peg
I have been on a moderate scale and I can tell you it makes for an interesting chain of events with little time for RAW prcessing
I hear people say that all the time, but if you batch process correctly it takes no longer then about 40sec to process then a j-peg, but converting raws to tiff's i find give a better final larger print. Plus if you do make a small balls up you can correct it if you want or like with the second image leave it alone wb wise. i always feel the sRAW and RAW files give a chrisper print, unless i am doing something wrong with j-peg ofcourse. Oh and a bit of fill light in CS3 on the last really brings the bike out more from the background something you wouldnt be able to do with a j-peg.
