These outdoor images were shot in RAW with a friend's 20D at ISO 100 and white balance set to sunlight. All of the photos were taken in mid morning sunlight. The images were converted to TIFF and then resized and converted to JPEG and sRGB for accurate monitor viewing. It is important to remember that these images are presented as constructed from each RAW converter's default settings. These images are not representative of the best image that each RAW converter is capable of producing. All of these images could be improved with a little work in the RAW converter. |

My friend's 2005 Lotus Elise makes for a good study in how these RAW converters handle a fairly bold yellow. |

My dirty storm chasing Scion XA is good for a study in reproducing RED. The color of the car is called "Absolutely Red". |
