Quick Question to fellow X-Users (especially X-T1

[jlmphotos]

I photograph using jpeg+raw.  When shooting both I usually I usually discard the jpeg, and keep the raw once I've used the jpeg for review, and then processed the raw.

When working on the raw file many times I find myself upping the shadows, and/or exposure.  

I have my camera set to Astia, -1 shadow -1 highlights as my default.

I've considered setting the camera to Proneg Standard when shooting but that would defeat the purpose of WYSIWYG in the viewfinder. Plus, my LR import preset for all raw files is set to Astia

This may have to do with the jpeg and the DR setting.  Mine is set to DR100.  I would like to shut the DR off and test.  Is that do-able?

Let me know.  Many Thanks

EDITED: I think I just answered my own question with the help of DARKNJ.  If I change my "Q" settings to 0 for shadows and 0 for the highlights when shooting both raw+jpeg. This way the in-camera review as well as the jpeg in LR will not have the shadows tweaked in any way nor the highlights.  The jpeg in LR should match, or come close to my raw file when I use my Astia import preset into LR. Jeez, I just had an AAAHA moment.  I'll have to create a different profile with the -1 shadows and -1 highlights for those few times when I shoot just JPEG's.

I think we've got it Watson.

The DR setting is not applied over he raw file.

 

But it does work over the jpegs.

 

The DR 100 setting is the default one, which I'd the equivalent, more or less, at it being off.

And that's my point. I don't want the DR to be applied to the jpeg in the viewfinder so I can see EXACTLY what my image will look like.

You might need to take some time to do all the adjustments then, I know I had changes done to have something more eye pleasing to me for my Jpegs.

 

But as far as I know, the EVF should only have a DR setting of 100, since any other level of DR is just emulated.
