Back on the banding bandwagon again.
I started off shooting jpegs when I first got the camera, then i got into LR and colour grading so I began shooting in RAW to get the most out of IQ. Banding/Fixed pattern noise has become a big annoyance to me with the GH1 in the photography department. I see it in the majority of my shots, especially in the shadows which is making me seriously consider buying a G1 GF1 or a canon/nikon.
What i discovered the other day while randomly deciding to revisit the jpeg that accompany's the RAW was that it had significantly less banding, enough to bring a smile back to my face and some hope back into shooting stills with the GH1. What I also noticed was colour profiles like standard,nostalgic,etc does not affect RAW images only jpeg, is this correct? they all looked the same where as the jpegs differed.
I guess my question here is how do i get the cleaner JPEG look with less banding with my RAW files? Will i get the same deal shooting in RAW with the GF1 and G1? Is shooting in RAW overrated?
Cheers.
