Test: Nikon D70 - Custom Sharpening Settings : In my quest to master all those "Custom Settings" in the D70's Optimize Image function, (shooting menu) I've performed a few little tests. Here is a bit of a sharpening test:

Test: Nikon D70 - Custom Color and Contrast Settings : I used to simply leave my camera set to RGB at all times. Also 99% of the time I would be at +2 Contrast and 75% of the time at + saturation... However I've really started getting irritated at the seemingly large ammount of color correction I'd have to do, often due to a WB setting that was a little off, but after getting very adept at propperly setting WB, I suspected further cavities of information were in there for me to discover. I decided to get to the bottom of the settings I used only because other people told me to and knew the least about: Color Mode / saturation, and contrast.In case anyone is wondering, the settings I'm referring to are in the Shooting menu. (the green camera) "Optimize image" is the setting I'm in, using the "Custom" option inside...
