Image Editing & Camera Raw Image Processing
For this project, the task was to take a raw image and process it. Raw photos contain more information than typical photos which allows greater flexibility in the editing process. The files are much larger than standard jpg files because they contain more information, and are not compressed or altered in the camera the way jpg photos are.
Original Raw Image:
Editing and Processing: In order to edit the raw files I have used Photoshop and its handy and powerful Camera Raw Filter. I fiddled around with the exposure, contrast, highlights, layer masks, and color saturation to achieve the desired outcome.
using different values in the sliders to adjust the image
using layer masks to adjust different parts of the image
comparison of the images to get a better understanding
Processed Final Images:
natural look
cooler temperature
warmer temperature
COMPLEXITIES: While processing the image some details in the image didn't come out quite right, adjusting the exposure sometimes oversaturated the image.
LEARNING OUTCOME: While doing this project, I learned that raw photos are superior to typical photos as they contain more information allowing for greater flexibility in the editing process.
All images used in this project are from Signature Edits.
