Different image processing software
How many different programs do you use?
How many would you likely use on one image? Reason I ask is that quite a few people seem to use software other than Photoshop for noise, scaling, etc. Don't the re-saves when going from one piece of software to another take their toll on the image if it's saved as .jpg each time? -Rich |

Why would someone do that? Greg |

Depends on the image, the input device and how it was taken. Don't the re-saves when going from one piece of software to another take their toll on the image if it's saved as .jpg each time? Which is why you use lossless formats. -- Stacey |

Yes, if you're going to edit your JPG image, make sure you save in a
lossless format first, like TIFF, or even better, your image-editing program's native format then combine the layers. I use Corel PHOTO-PAINT for everything, incuding graphics for my site - and CorelDRAW comes in very handy for the site graphics too. Corel Graphics Suite costs less than PS (what doesn't!) and is highly complex. I bought Neat Image but find PP does and great job anyway. I also found that PP upsamples (interpolates) as well as PhotoZoom Pro. |

them as jpegs? For some who shoots raw the image never has to be saved in jpeg form except as perhaps a very last step before publishing on the web. For someone who shoots originals in jpeg form the very first save on the computer should be in a lossless format like tiff. So, go from a compressed into 8-bit imagefile up to a lossless 16 bit image file? Best do as you suggested higher up and save RAW, period. -- -- r.p.e.35mm user resource: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpe35mmur.htm -- r.p.d.slr-systems: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpdslrsysur.htm -- [SI] gallery & rulz: http://www.pbase.com/shootin -- e-meil: Remove FreeLunch. |

How good are the Corel programs at supporting various RAW and NEF
formats? For example, is Corel better at back-porting new versions of RAW to previous program releases. (Yes, I'm inquiring about RAW 3.1 for my 350D). Unfortunately Adobe products have alot of secondary support in terms of education materials, plugins, driver support, etc that I moved away from Corel Draw in the late 1990s. |
