Hello Again

I have recently bought a used Leica X1 (please see my other post) and I am trying all the various quality settings i.e. colour / contrast / sharpness etc.

I wonder if any members here have a favourite profile setting for colour or monochrome which they would like to share.

I know DNG is probably the answer!  But it involves a lot of time.  I am more interested in good jpegs straight from the camera.

Any thoughts gratefully received.

Best wishes from the Yorkshire Dales England

Any jpegs:- Sharpness +1//Colour +1//  --------- Any other is in either Apple Photo or Apple Preview..

Yep, agree with Len, either middle of the road all the way, or at best +1 on the sharpness.  Occasionally I will try B&W High Contrast, but usually just shoot "normal" B&W.

For serious stuff (so, read Europe trip or similar) I shoot DNG plus mono JPEG. That way I see in mono, but have both bases covered. The honest side of me says it's a waste of time for me though, I normally only use the JPEG's, they really are that good.
