When shooting photos, it often becomes difficulty dealing with the settings of the camera to try and properly capture, and flatter the subject. Although tinkering with shutter speed, ISO, and aperture could result in the perfect image, using the photo setting of camera RAW allows the photographer to edit their photos beyond the limited settings available on the camera.
Turning camera RAW on, initially there is no significant difference on the camera screen besides the RAW icon on the screen. The camera settings such as ISO, shutter speed, and aperture are still available to edit the camera and how much light is coming into the photo and such. Although no cosmetic changes are made to the camera interface, a major part of camera raw is that it decompresses all of the pixels in the image and allows for each and every aspect of the photo, and its pixels, to be edited and transformed. Whether in horrible lighting situations or your images need fixing, camera raw mode is amazing for fixing up and editing different elements of photos. With edits such as exposure, clarity, and vibrancy, photographers can successfully tune there photos to their desired product. In the future I would definitely use RAW again to edit images that were taken in very dark lighting so that when I wanted to submit them or add them to my portfolio I could edit the lighting to make sure the lighting or other aspects are up to par with the standard. To the images shown above, from left to right shows the transformation. I mostly edited the images' exposures either intensifying or lowering to properly light the image so that the subject could be seen. Alongside the exposure, I also edited the vibrance of the images so that the purple pattern on the subject's shirt would stand out against the drab black background. For final touches to the image to flatter the subject, I reduced the clarity so the subject's skin would be blurred, hiding blemishes and such. Additionally, I also finagled the black and the white appearance in the image to soften the highlights, and control the shadows so that there would be an even balance between the two elements of the image, highlights and shadows. Camera RAW can save an image from the garbage as it can bring back to life the image through adjustments of the different aspects within a photo. From decompressing the pixels of an image, to the actual modification of the image, camera RAW is a life saver when it comes to editing an image after it was taken.
