    This is the first time I've seen a full rainbow where the interior of the arc is a totally different brightness from the sky outside the rainbow arc.

    Hi,

    Quick question:
    When people talk of the image from the CCD sensor resembling that of Kodachrome is it applied to JPG images with no internal changes to the saturation, contrast etc … or the DNG file.

    Im guessing the true JPG image??

    Thanks in advance.

    Simon.
