Grrrr... I think they should allow RAW -- just unedited RAW. It's easy to check to see if anything was done to it. It is possible, afterall, to just open it without editing.
Of course, the jpeg processing would have been helpful. :)
Change your camera NOW to always shoot RAW plus a small jpeg. Always. Takes no space at all compared to your RAW files, and all you'll use the jpeg for is DPC minimal edit challenges. You'll still have the full RAW for everything else. (I think Bear taught me this, ages ago!)

I think sometime ages ago I set mine up like that for this reason, but ran into the problem of the double import taking up too much space on my ancient computer. I had to keep going back and deleting a bunch of jpegs so I stopped doing it.
Aw man, I did the same thing, shot RAW only. And with a very skittish bunch of subjects...damn damn damn. Problem is Advanced is now the norm, so easy to just slip into that mindset :-( not entering.
It can't be done with a 40D, but some newer models have in-camera processing. I did a quick file check on mine and the dates didn't appear to change, so it would seem be just like shooting RAW+JPEG from the start.

Except I'd think you are still getting to change the RAW->JPEG settings after pressing the shutter, offering the opportunity to adjust the settings based on the capture. I don't see why post-processing on your camera should be any different (with regard to DPC rules) than post-processing on any other computer/device.

Paul, I agree it is a can of worms, but how can you tell the difference from the file the camera would generate?! Or this would be just an uncheckable requirement based on honor? Of course, in my opinion, the minimal ruleset is a useless exercise in self-shackling anyway, I think basic would've worked just fine.

File-wise it's exactly the same thing as adjusting camera settings before you press the shutter, so our opinions are moot.
Maybe in cases like this one can submit both RAW and the in-camera derived JPEG? one should probably be able to see in EXIF that none of the "basic" parameters were changed ("Use shot settings" option in that video)

Possibly — I am not all that familiar with the latest NSA-quality forensic tools myself ... but our whole system is based on honor anyway, since that's the only reward. If people want to win a virtual ribbon by cheating, then they'll just have to live with their conscience, and know that they are less than they appear ...
