ABSTRACT
In contrast, most digital captures do not
require any intermediate processing before
the images can be edited. The exception to this
rule is those photographers who are using the
RAW format. Typically these images need to be
processed or converted from their RAW state
to a file format that can be easily edited and
enhanced in a standard imaging program such as
Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. There are, of
course, imaging programs designed specifically
for working with RAW files such as Photoshop
Lightroom and Aperture, but most photographers still move their photos to an editing program,
at some stage, for further processing (see Figure 28.3).
