Use Camera RAW with the Sony Nex-3

Hey guys!

I want to get more details on my photos.

I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS5

Sony NEX - 3 camera Compact (listed in the camera raw compatibility list)

First, I changed the photo cameras to jpg in RAW format and made some photos.

At home I tried to open the files with Camera Raw. Does not work. The sony camera recorded images as ARW file.

So I downloaded Adobe DNG Converter. I've converted the ARW in a RAW file and opened it with camera raw.

So far so good! I opened the FIRST photo with Photoshop. Just to test with 8 & 16-bit also. My camera supports 16-bit?

I compared the RAW file with the jpg created again.

Normally the quality of the raw file should be much better than the jpg compressed, I think.

I took a quick glance at some other pictures of jpg (I shot in JPG Mode) and compared with the FIRST Images (RAW Mode).

I have seen absolutely no difference between RAW and JPG.

I also tried an exact correction of the tonal value at the two images.

Even with the other image corrections. More details, noise, sharpness... even.

With the Sony NEX-3 there was also a program included RAW that opens the ARW files.

I do not see too many differences between RAW and jpg here.

What I a m d INGO evil ?

I must say that I am a beginner camera's gross. I tried for the first time. I thought it would be easier!

The screenshot below see you an image on the left and a 16-bit DNG on the right.

I have not found any difference!

I would greatly appreciate your help and some good advice.

Best regards Andi

You have a lot of questions, and you will get countless different answers.

Firstly, raw images are generally images 12 or 14 bits.  Your camera doesn't have to support that, because it's one of the benefits of shooting in raw.  Camera Raw opens the images in a 16-bit workspace.  Due to the additional bits and other factors as well, you're able to do a lot more with images.  If you have deep and strong or extremely brilliant shadows highlights overexposed, you will find that you can recover a lot more detail in these troubled when areas you work with raw image data.  The fact is that if you have perfectly exposed image and you're not overexposed areas or mitigate the shadows, it will be difficult to see the difference.

If you really are not a bad thing.  You must do some experiments more and some studies to better understand yourself the advantage for the filming of raw images.  If you're like most people who contribute here, once you realize you has all the benefits of shooting raw images, you will probably stop shooting JPEG in total.
