The digital revolution in cameras has led those who may have been successful with film format into a whole new area of learning. The RAW file format is digital photography's equivalent of a negative in film photography: it contains untouched, 'raw' pixel information straight from the digital camera's sensor, which must be processed to produce the final result. Understanding RAW Photography is a comprehensive guide, written by a professional photographer, that explains the procedure from the start of a photo shoot through each stage of post-processing your image to ultimately displaying it in print or on screen. In depth, jargon-busting text offers hints & tips on interpreting RAW images & gives step-by-step information on processes such as demosaicing & white balance, interpreting & converting images, applying tone curves, adjusting colour saturation & contrast, sharpening an image, adjustment in camera & on a personal computer, & final generation of JPEG or TIFF format.
