Taking pictures with your digital camera can be both fun and challenging. The fact that we can ‘point and shoot’, getting instant results, is truly a modern day miracle. However, do you want to do a little more than just snap pictures? If you want to explore more of your camera’s capabilities, getting the settings right can sometimes be confusing. For example, what does the word ‘Raw’ mean when we are shooting digital pictures?
Once you press the button, the camera will do some processing before saving to the storage card.The full explanation can be found at http://everydei.wordpress.com/2011/07/07/lee-seung-gi-at-kolon-sports-fw-collection-fashion-show/ The most popular format is called ‘jpg’. When the camera stores your photo in the ‘jpg’ setting, some information is discarded. You’ll especially lose information if you choose to save the image in lower resolutions. This is usually done so that you can fit more images on the memory card. When you save the image in a finer detail, it will take up more room on your storage media because it is saving more information. With the ‘Raw’ setting, the file is biggest because the data you work with comes directly from the image sensors in the camera. Very little editing has been done. Now, you can do the editing yourself on your own desktop computer. By using a more powerful computer and a specialized software program, you can take the ‘Raw’ data and manipulate it in ways that go way beyond the limitations of the standard ‘jpg’ format.
If you’re ready to take on the challenge of working with the Raw files yourself, a whole new world of creativity will open up for you. You’ll find that taking the photo is only the first part of the process. The enhancements you’ll be able to make on your own desktop computer will become a journey in itself. Enjoy the adventure.
