<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 5129898, member: 19463"]I tend to agree that the trouble of starting off RAW in this case would be more than it was worth in this case since you have control of the lighting and could avoid having to make large adjustments. The Canon focus bracketing software (part of DPP4 which is free with their cameras) does files as part of the conversion but I have no idea how other brands work.</p><p><br /></p><p>I see absolutely no reason to go backwards from JPG to a better format since the damage done saving once to JPG can never be reversed. I would reshoot rather than convert. When a camera saves a file to JPG, it makes certain decisions automatically that RAW practitioners prefer to make themselves. If the camera makes better selections than the human, the result might be better but most of us like things done 'our way' and that requires RAW. I really appreciate the color controls of the 16 bit formats over 8 bit JPG's when shooting nature/landscape/people but coins might not benefit as much if you get the lighting right in the first place.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
