Although it's of academic interest, it is irrelevant in the context of this thread. The OP is a film user who does some digital imagining but has a limited computer system. Solutions need to be fairly basic so the PC can deal with them apart from anything else.

Incompetent, irrelevant and immaterial seems like a good phrase, if only because of which old TV series I'm currently working through and I've always wanted to say that.

In other words, back to the point please.
Best regards, John

All this is far too technical - geeky even - for me. In simple terms I regard the RAW image as I would the negative in film days. After making a JPEG, which is a copy, the RAW is then filed away, unaltered. It can subsequently be accessed again and again to make further copies for different treatments of the image without it ever losing any of its original information. That's really all the OP needs to consider.

Proof positive that RAW files can be viewed without conversion to Jpeg or Tiff.

It's clearly one of my best photographs, don't you agree? (100% clip)

The photograph I took this from contains approx 1,000 screen pages of this, so I guess we're just having a semantic discussion.

Actually strictly speaking this is a jpeg of a raw of raw photographic data if you get my drift

Yes, there is a NOISE problem.

I did try to colour things up a bit, but it seems everything is black or white?

Look good as a canvas, what's the resolution?

You have inspired my creativity there. If that is actually a proper readout of a RAW file, if it were a portrait I could see that blended with the actual image in some way.

If you want to show us how to do that, please start a new thread.

Or you could turn an image into ASCII code (e.g. online converter )

I see the classic mistake you've made RonnieMac - you haven't run it through a spellchecker - that would sharpen it up nicely
