ISO 1600

Please comment briefly on any experiences you might have had with in-camera image processing techniques.

I would use the camera as part of my image processing solution.

I think all that is better done in an image processing program.

62% (186 votes)

I just use the images as they come from the camera and don't do any post-processing work on them.
