I never used compression on the M9 but do on the M. john > -----Original Message----- > > Geoff... if it is either 8 bits or 14 bits, and you then process the image > in LR or > CS, what data is LR or CS working with? 8 bits, or during file opening, > the data > is decompressed from 8 bits back up to 14 bits and then you are working > with > 14 bit data? > > The issue to me is the quantization level achievable in the post > processing..... > > Frank Filippone > Red735i at verizon.net > > > Brian, anecdotally most M9 shooters use that compressed option, although I > didn't personally.
