Project overview
Editing images using Photoshop's Camera Raw filter
Why Camera RAW filter ?
In Adobe Photoshop, the Camera Raw filter allows you to use the tools in Camera Raw to filter a layer in Photoshop. This filter works with all types of image files and video files. It even works for layers that you draw, type, or paint on. In short, the Camera Raw filter brings its powerful slider adjustments and convenient tools to a whole new range of applications.

Editing Process
As we can see the image is very dull. The Exposure, Saturation, Curves and all other minor details must be adjusted. For that we have to play with different tools in camera raw filter,
1. Adjust the basic tools like Exposure, Contrast, Highlight, Shadows, Saturation etc...
2. Adjust the curves to balance the Highlight, Midtones, Shadows
3. Adjust the Color Mixer, Color wheels
4. Do proper noise cancellation
Editing basic adjustments

Adding Noise
Noise in an image is the presence of artifacts that do not originate from the original scene content. Generally speaking, noise is a statistical variation of a measurement created by a random process. In imaging, noise emerges as an artifact in the image that appears as a grainy structure covering the image.

Challenges
The main challenge is keeping the image fresh, elegant & beautiful. While editing or color grading we have a lots of options as we had seen above. The proper usage of those tools can make your RAW image into another level of beauty. But if those values go above or below the exact level, then the image would be worse to view. This is the main challenge i faced
Learning outcomes
After completing this project i studied a lot about image editing and color correction. Not an easy task but the final result will make us happy.
Hope you've enjoyed it!
