Really need ot do some reading up on this
but who here shoots in RAW? Ive heard that doign this you can get better photos as they are better to edit having more colour range or something?
-
I would like to but my old imacs only have USB 1.0 so transfer rates are slow as hell. If I shot stuff in RAW it would take days to upload stuff.
All raw is is the pure digital data from the sensor with no conversions or manipulations. This means in PS you are able to adjust the exposure better and it makes combining HDR shots easier as you can do it from just the one shot. All that said if it's badly over or under exposed you still can't fix it.

I always shoot RAW. So much better than letting the camera do your image processing. :)

cheers guys, well ill give it a go and see hwo i get on :)
-
yeah... i am thinking of doing it too
although our course wants us to shoot in jpeg for some reason? :huh:

I always shoot RAW. The control you have over the shot is fantastic. The RAW processing programmes can be a bit overwhelming at first but you soon develop your own workflow and use the options you need. Photoshop one is awesome.
It gives you complete control over the development of your pictures. Plus any processes that you apply to the shot in RAW have a better effect than on a compressed format. Downside is that shots take a huge amount of space up.

is it a RAW add on for photoshop?
-
I tried it on RAW over the weekend, it just seem a bit crisper and it takes a sh1tload more space up :shocked:
-
and everytime you edit RAW it doesnt take pixles off that are not seen to the naked eye like what JPEG does, with JPEG if you edit and save it too many times then you will notice the image quality getting worse and worse.

well im goign to give it a blast and see what results i can get from it :wink:

It's a Photoshop Plug in but should be in the photoshop install package. I think CS3 got up to RAW 3.0 and CS4 is up to RAW 5.2.
You can download it from their site if its not already in there. When you open a RAW image with Photoshop it automatically opens the plug in first, once you have edited your shot it takes you to normal Photoshop workspace.
