First Canon EOS 10D Images
I had about an hour yesterday afternoon to venture out into the Spring sunshine (which has now disappeared) and try out the 10D for the very first time.
Unlike a lot of new 10D owners, I didn’t take any shots of rulers to try and prove if my camera has focusing issues, and there are definitely no pictures of cats…
At this very early stage I’m also completely unsure of the conversion process from the camera to print and the web. These images were shot in Raw mode, converted to 16-bit tiffs using Canon’s File Viewer Utility, tweaked in Photoshop (levels, contrast, USM), then saved as web-ready jpegs in Macromedia Fireworks. This is almost certainly not the best way to do things; further reading is required.

well. at least there is somebody out with a new eos 10d. i have also done some first tries with mine, and just made the normal "large picture" jpg. way. not the best either, but if you are interested, here are my both first tries. put on white sheet of paper, transferred to computer and dis levels and contrast thingy in photoshop. i think the camea generally creates nice silky output.

Very nice Hannah!
Are they slices of star-fruit? (excuse my fruit ignorance...!)
Did you take the photos using a white studio background?

thank you
they are star fruits (or whatever they are called). i placed them on a big white sheet of paper. and afterwards increased lightness in photoshop.
where were your pictures taken?

I'll have to try that technique out
That's one of the things that I am looking forward to with my 10D - more macro photography.
My photos were just taken near where I live - North London, UK.

You broke down. Good for you. If you take a peek around Luminous Landscape, there's a few good articles on digital workflow. Btw, why the extra step with Fireworks? Just use the Save for Web option in Photoshop.

I like to think that I made a completely logical and radical decision, albeit after a couple of weeks of painful procrastination.
The extra step is because I've used Fireworks for years and like its Export feature more than Photoshop's. Saying that, Photoshop probably does a better job...
Thanks for the links - I'll check them out now

Hehe... however you want to view it Mark.
Btw, you may also want to check the EOS forum over on photo.net. Every now and then there's a fairly intelligent discussion on the 10D.

I'd heard that BreezeBrowser was better than the Canon software - just wanted tot ry out what I'd already paid for, before spending even more cash :-0
Care to point me in the direction of these handy actions?

Welcome to the club! I had a D60 since July, but I picked up a 10D a couple weeks ago. I've no real complaints.
I'd say that's a perfectly acceptable workflow. Pretty much the same as mine (except I use BreezeBrowser for organization and raw-to-TIFF conversion), although I've picked up a few handy actions along the way that help automate things.
