Beginners Photography Tips
RAW format is probably the most dominant I know post-image processing. It allows you to manage more of the images. RAW translation procedure will allows control over a variable instead of letting the camera do the work for you. From my own experience, some definitions are lost during the conversion in any other format. A RAW file also resolves some more detail compared with JPEG.
The RAW image is a digital negative, a RAW file has higher latitude or higher compared to other formats such as JPEG, with a RAW file, this allows you to have more adjustments without worsening the quality. You can just hit 'reset' and return to its original image, and set the editing from scratch. Having as RAW image format, you can change the white balance without losing image quality.
There are a lot of RAW conversion software but I use Adobe Camera Raw and these are the basics you should know as a photographer.
Temperature – Adjust the slider to change the white balance you like. The numbers in the group are the color temperature in degrees Kelvin.
Tint – Change the color of the nave of the picture. (But better to keep this the way it is)
Auto – this function 'Auto' will automatically return back to where you started.
Exposure – adjust how bright or dark your image is
Gloss – similar to the "exposure" functions, but the use of "exposure" instead.
Contrast – darkens the shadows and highlights clear
Recovery – Recover destroyed some highlights in your image.
Fill Lightening – lighten the shadows
Blacks – this is the opposite of "Fill Light", the escalation of this dark shadow
Vibrance – gives an effect much better than the edition of the "saturation" in Photoshop. Increases the saturation of unsaturated images
Saturation – Adjusts the color saturation in general.
That's all for Camera RAW do not expect anything too difficult and too technical here
