It's fantastic to see how you've made it pop!

You always do Raw ? Is there anyway you can show us how to split tone.

great stuff

[Phreeque22]

You are amazing. Truly inspiring.

@SuperMangn I see now. Yeah I got a T2i and I have only one kind of RAW which gives me 25 MB files. Great, I though I was getting some kind of "not full RAW" out of my camera but I see that Im lacking the smaller RAW option instead. Thanks for answering!

@SLRlounge I noticed that, but the thing is there's a little button to the right of that dropdown list, which I haven't noticed earlier, when it's not pressed, you cannot add new points to the curve, just edit simple shadows/highlights sliders etc.

@Dariovich On semi pro and pro dslr there are several RAW options such as sraw which is a mini RAW file. Im sure my 40d has it but my t2i does not.

@dachevashe I think it is mentioned in the video, but it was probably a bit too quick. To create your own tone curve from scratch, there is a little pull down in the tone curve panel, it defaults to "Medium Contrast." Simply click it, select "Linear" and that will reset your line, which you can then customize however you like.

@leo140485 Exactly. On the 5D Mark II Most of the time I am shooting SRAW (Small RAW) which is a 10 megapixel file. However, when I am in situations where my lens may not be long enough, I will switch to full RAW which gives me a 20 megapixel file which I can then crop in on and still have plenty of pixels for printing without having to upsize and enhance the the file.

@Dariovich With Canon you got Small RAW and full RAW I believe... I'm a Nikon Shooter so I'm not 100%... but I think with Canon you can have it as a RAW file with all the detail, but at a smaller resolution image... He leaves it as Full RAW to allow for cropping...
