Shot in RAW. What now?

Search dear boy :) The question has been answered many a time. Get Lightroom or use Adobe Camera RAW in Photoshop.
 
You can download and look at the jpegs, but as above process the RAWs and see how much better you can them...
 
The camera takes as photo and produces a RAW file it then applies various settings (white balance, contrast, saturation, exposure adjustment) to produce a JPEG. If you take a RAW file it needs to be tweaked to make it as good as the JPEG but you because it holds a lot more data you have a lot more flexibility about how you want the image to look.

If you shoot RAW and JPEG, the JPEG is the same as if you just shot JPEG. The raw file needs to be opened with software such as Adobe Camera Raw in photoshop or Lightroom.

Don't forget, every RAW file has to be "developed" to get the best out of it.

What software do you have?

I shot in RAW and Jpeg today. Do I just download them as I would a Jpeg?

But keep in mind that once you start shooting in raw, you have to spend the rest of your life on the computer. It's the law!

Right ok, will down load them and loook :)

I have Photoshop CS2 and all the Canon stuff :lol:
 
We're still waiting!:shrug:
 
I was using the free trial, but haven't bought the full version yet! I loved it :thumbs:

Did you buy yours from Adobe?
 
I'm gonna get round to buying it eventually. I read on another thread that it's possible to buy it from the Adobe USA site.....which works out cheaper than buying it in Earth Pounds! :thinking:
 
Students qualify for a huge discount when buying software! Matt...did your dad pay full price?
