in the studioomg
i've been a very lazy girl...
i capture every image both as a raw file and a jpg
and
under decent lighting conditions, the jpg is pretty good
but if it's dark
or the white balance is screwy
you really need to pull from the raw to get results
the problem is
photoshop & lightroom can't handle the lx3's files yet
so i need to convert to a dng first
and i get lazy
and i just adjust the jpg
and the snap looks like crap
and i shouldn't do that
honestly,
this is the best i could do with the jpg:

now,
even if you like the effect of the bottom image better,
you have the option to get there from the top
but
you'll never pull the continuous tones you get in the top image
from the bottom one
