Working in Camera Raw
December 2, 2008 by Carma Leichty · Leave a Comment
Working in camera raw gives you the most control over your images. Camera raw eliminates any processing by the camera and lets you set the parameters for each image – parameters such as white balance, contrast, color saturation, sharpening, and tonal range.
In contrast, when the camera is set to capture images as JPEG files, the camera automatically interprets the image data and makes adjustments and conversions to the data. The beauty of camera raw is that the camera simply captures the image and gives you the raw data. However, because there is no processing and interpreting of the data, be aware that camera raw files are larger files.
