This question can apply to either PS actions, or to settings in Canon's RAW converter.

I usually shoot with Parameters 1, which is described as "vivid and crisp colors". I think it does some sharpening as well. I like the results. Recently I had to shoot in RAW with the Adobe RGB color space. As expected, some work needs to be done. What is the quickest way to mimmick the effects of "Parameters 1"? The manuall does not say what the contrast, saturation, color tone and sharpness settings for "Parameters 1" is. Else it would be easy to do this from w/in Canon's software.

Thanks.

    I just found out by using Canon's File Viewer utility that Paramters 1 has Contrast, Sharpness and Saturation at +1 (the spread is -2 to +2), and tone set to 0. And, apparantly, even if shooting in RAW, if you set Parameters 1 it will process the raw image in this respect, anyway. I don't know an equivalent in Photoshp for these settings.

    So, I think I have my question answered, for the most part. There are aspects of File Viewer that I prefer to ACR, aspects of ACR (notably, speed) that I prefer to FV. I wish I could combine the two. :(
