Hello All
I've recently gotten into the post processing side of photography. I've often had a dismissal type attitude in regards to post processing as I used to think "If the photos are good then why need to tinker them afterwards, why not make any corrections in-camera". As time has gone by, I've realized my mistake and I wanted to get into post processing aspect after a friend showed me a photo I took but he messed around with and I found the after picture far more appealing than what I thought was "good".
I've downloaded Lightroom on Android as I figured I'll start from somewhere and I have to say it's a nice piece of software. I've made a number of adjustments to some photos I took on a recent trip and I like them ! Thing is I've never taken a RAW photo and messed around with it and my question here is what level of RAW editing can 1 achieve over simple jpeg photos. I know what RAW photos are and the level of data they contain over jepgs but in jpeg editing I can edit the colour temperature, vibrancy, tint, saturation, contrast etc.... so what does RAW editing offer that simply trounces over jpegs ? As of now, my laptop to an extent just about handles the browser so I get the feeling any dedicated software we'll have to wait for the time being. Lightroom Android allows me to get a good feel for post processing.
