D30 for landscape work

[images001]

I find the D30 to be low contrast which may be good for many applications,
but I have not had landscape images from the D30 that I felt had the imapact
of my scanned slides. I feel I need a little more contrasty results. Will I
always
need to fix landscapes from my D30 with Photoshop?

Canon made a very concious decision to NOT apply a lot of in-camera
processing of the image. They left that up to the photographer to decide.
I am glad for this, since I'd rather have the control myself.

Have you tried playing with the set of three configurations for image
processing?

The Canon D30 takes great landscape shots.
You need to use a Photoshop action or the Canon software to adjust the contrast
or sharpen.

This is far better than many cameras that do in-camera shaprening becaause
you'd have too many digital artifacts had you needed to adjust size and
resharpen.

If your in doubt of tha landscape capabilities of this camera,go to:
www.fredmiranda.com

all of his work in D30 and he has created some free(and for sale) Photoshop
actions to do many different things with the D30.

I did look at the work done at that site

www.fredmiranda.com

and saw exactly what I'm complaining about.

Not to be argumentative, but those landscape pics do
not have the snap of my slides when scanned and turned
into digital images.

His site shows the same "dogital" look that I get when doing
landsacpes with the D30 and that is what I'm wondering about.
Even with photoshop enhancement I still do not acheive the
appeal that my scanned slides produce.

Perhaps teh D30 just isn't quite there yet - which is fine with
me but I was hoping someone could point out what I am
doing wrong with the acquisition of the image - and apparently
I am not doing anything wrong, just expecing too much.

thanks for the input.
