5. Workflow
The Roundshot D3 is a very versatile camera system and can be used for a large
variety of different applications. For each of these applications different end
products are created, which in turn influences the choice of workflow. Therefore we
recommend thinking through the ideal workflow before starting to use the camera
in the field. There are three main workflows:
RAW workflow RGB workflow
5.1 Introduction
* By changing setttings such as exposure speed, aperture, TDI Stages, focusing, ISO/ASA, etc.
** All other optimisations are not stored with the raw (dng) file (such as histogram stretching, tone-mapping, etc.)

When working with large image files we recommend using 64-bit operating
systems with 64-bit imaging software as this significantly increases
processing speed.
