Anybody know if the parameter settings carry over to RAW or just for the JPGs? I read different info in different places. Some say the Canon Raw software takes the exif info including the parameters and "adjusts" the raw file accordingly. I don't use it like most people. I use Photoshop CS2 + raw plugin! ;) Thanks!

PS: I tend to shoot JPG+RAW on important things but would hate to have to edit EVERY JPG that i didn't make a RAW for say at car shows, etc.
 
RAW is just that, its the raw sensor readings. Whichever raw software you use is going to be using some settings for sharpness, whitebalance, etc. The canon software just happens to take this from the exif data, but of course you can override it. I don't know if adobe will adjust its defaults to what the exif says, probably not.

From what i recall Adobe doesn't use the exif info. But thanks for more definite info! :D
 
Feel free to play with the contrast & saturation & sharpness settings to make the JPEGs look nice out of the camera. The parameters the camera shot in are stored as meta-data in the RAW file for DPP (Canon's Software) to look at and set as the default processing parameters, but since it edits RAW files you can override it.

And your software apparently ignores this meta-data, so it doesn't matter if contrast is +2 or not (or if you set the processing to B&W mode) when you're working with the RAW. They only affect the JPEGs.
