Processing the image

Part three and its starting to get a bit more interesting now, as its time to get to grips with processing images,, I have shot in raw and j peg for about four years now, the jpegs are really just references for me when looking over the photographs I have taken on the computer screen.

I have been looking back over some my old photography magazines (I always knew I was keeping them for a reason) and reading the various articles, the main two magazines I have used are digital Camera magazine and N Photo.

Raw files are essentially a package of data which can only be opened using special software for example photoshop, cameras also come with software packages that will allow you to open raw files Nikon for example use viewnx2. One of the best things about using raw files is you can do none destructive editing in other words you can make as many changes to the raw file as you wish but the original date will always be kept.Because raw files capture more detail than JPEG It is possible to rescue parts of a scene which might not have been possible with JPEG dark areas in particular can be lightened.
