Weblog Forum--Camera Raw, Photoshop CS2 and Canon

Ah ha! The Digital Traveler, well..., has gone totally digital. Today without further ado, I present--

Camera Raw

Applause here, please

Here's some surprises:

1. Raw is not an ancronym, cause Raw is just "raw," a file as it is with all the camera settings from your camera following along as part of the image (+ settings from your camera attached) in the Raw file.

2. Camera Raw solves lots of post-processing problems that other types of files can't. Hey, guys...just tweak the sliders above for your a noiseless picture.

3. Camera Raw does not solve everything. In the picture above no matter how much I push the sliders back and fourth, I can't get the boy to stand out without blasting the highlights of the background. So what to do? Guess I'll use the Dodge tool in Photoshop.

Come on and join this conversation! Tell the Digital Traveler what you know about Raw, then all who visit here will get the full skinny on the greatest file format (so far) of all time.

FYI--Yes, in some places in the world they keep it very simple. This is Myanmar (Burma) a place where the oxen still do all the work.
