If you don't have time for editing, or can get everything "right" (exposure, white balance, etc) from the start, then jpeg is fine.

Ahhh, Thank you mr.gale.

I think for the most part I can use jpeg. I read that white balance correction especially for indoor or night shots is one major benefit over jpeg.

It's not that you can't get it right in camera with a RAW picture, but every shot can benefit from a little nudge on the sliders for white balance, highlights, shadows, whites, blacks, sharpness, etc...
I work in Adobe Lightroom with my before and after side by side. This way I can see my changes and also make sure that I'm not straying too far from the truth. Not that digitally altered pictures aren't an art form in and of themselves, but I like to try to stay faithful to what I saw unless I'm blatantly putting out something that's not supposed to look like reality.

Hey Luna.

yah I think for those hard to edit situations raw appears to be the way to go.

I think i will start taking raw + jpeg and have raw as backup just in case I run into a shot I can't get the color corrected in jpeg.

And here's a video if you're interested in seeing Auto Finesse Passion beading/sheeting,

I know you've told us about your auto finesse products, but please brief me once more. That video inspired me!

Which auto finesse products did you use to get your paint to this condition?

Great pics by the by!

Thanks, man. He is a good guy who just wants everyone to get along and not fight. He has some nice scars now.

Didn't even try. I just wanted to cry to be honest. Icing on the cake of a bad week.

Changed the engine, tranny, and diff fluid today. All with Redline. The hardest part was getting the stupid cheap transfer pump to actually pump the fluid up into the diff and tranny. In the process I got to take a real good look at my bald rear tires. I knew they were ready to be replaced but damn they are about to have holes wear through them. New tires are needed yesterday. Have to decide if I want to just buy tires or get wheels and tires. Do I want to spend $ or do I want to spend $$$ for some

kenchan · 07-15-2012, 08:59 PM

^^ damn, i thought you did an engine swap.
