This first photography workshop began by covering the use of RAW file in photography, and how we can use it to push our photographs further in post-production. We talked about the use of jpegs vs the use of Raw files, and then we were told to go and take some photographs in jpeg and Raw in order to work with both in photoshop and see what the results would be and the differences bewteen the two formats.
We were told to use adjustment layers to recover our photographs in jpeg, which were intentially shot in the wrong light balance settings. This was the result:
The orange of the shade lighting setting really shows through. However it looks too orange giving off surreal fake look.
We then started editing our photographs in Photoshop, when we opened the Raw image up in Photoshop the camera raw menu appeared.
The camera raw menu is like being back behind the camera again. You can change the white balance settings, and other features to improve the look of the photograph. The histogram is a crucial factor as it allows us to see how much information we are getting, and allows us to see the changes we make to the photograph when certain settings have been changed.
The photograph below is the edited photograph that has been edited through the camera raw menu, which looks a lot better then the jpeg photograph and looks more natural.
