My camera has the ability to shoot RAW images. This means you have a lot more flexibility in editing photos on the computer. I never had attempted to use RAW in the last 2 years of owning my camera, because I was scared. I was scared of the unknown. I had no idea if it would be hard to edit RAW images, and I didn't even look into it.
It turns out... it's super easy to edit RAW images! All this time I could have had much more control over the quality of pictures I turned out. The only downside to RAW is that the images are about 10 MB each. What will probably happen in the future is that I will shoot most of my snapshots in normal JPEG form, and use RAW for more important photos.
Isn't that funny how just fear of the unknown or laziness can keep us from something great. I just finally took the time to figure out the "super macro" thing on my camera and my pics of jewelry have been so much better ever since.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you are aware of RAW images. I think it is very important to use it for the important pictures as well... because it does not compress the picture you take... where JPG does. I use JPEG for everythign right now because of the size of picture it creates. I don't have enough hard drive on my computer... work in progress. I have been very impressed with your pictures. Keep it up!
