RAW files and editing

Post by David Morrison »

I use an Olympus E-620 and take all of my photos in RAW. For some scenes, I set it to autobracket by adjusting the ISO. I believe in this case, it takes a single exposure, then generates three separate RAW files, each with different ISO values, the default, one stop higher and one stop lower. (This would actually be more use if I had the camera produce JPEGs directly rather than RAWs.) The previews are created from the developed settings, and are quite different to each other. In the Graphic Converter browser window, I see the three previews looking different to each other. When I open them or view them in a slideshow, the three seem to be exactly the same. Is this what is supposed to happen?

Hello David,the preview in the browser does use by default the exif thumbnail (for smaller previews). Because that is much faster.Thorsten On 20.04.2013, at 10:06, David Morrison <davidmorrisonlist@gmail.com> wrote:   I use an Olympus E-620 and take all of my photos in RAW.
