ABSTRACT

After downloading raw fi les or importing raw fi les into a designated folder, the next step if you are using a ‘Convert and then Edit’ workfl ow is to process the fi les using a raw converter. In this phase of the workfl ow you examine each raw image or a group of similarly executed fi les,

making note of any problems with shadows, highlights, exposure, white balance, and more. This is

the time to make adjustments to bring your images within their acceptable dynamic range and to

fi ne tune them to your personal taste. It is also the time to save fi les to DNG format and archive them

in a safe storage location.
