I only shoot RAW, so here’s a question born of ignorance, with a little back story.
My wife is really getting in to iNaturalist. She’s been using one of my DSLRs. She’s not interested in optimizing, other than cropping, and she doesn’t want me to do so. So, if I set up a Canon DSLR to shoot RAW (just in case,) + jpeg, will the jpeg in-camera processing automatically apply sharpening? She’s not sharpening at all, but my concern is that when she crops hugely, then resizes, it will mess up the sharpening if the camera has applied it.
TIA for humoring us!

Good light,
Craig

It will apply whatever you have selected in the picture styles. You can modify the canned picture styles for sharpening and contrast and saturation to get the straight out of camera JPEG look you want. Also, change the color space of the camera to sRGB not Adobe RGB. Finally you may want to enable Highlight Tone priority to protect her from overexposing the highlights while maintaining shadow detail in the JPEG files. None of these settings impact the RAW file but very much impact the JPEG files.
