Hello, friends. Welcome to the third lesson in my Simple photo school.
If you are taking photos with the camera, try turning on the RAW mode. No, don't try it, turn it on immediately.
If you haven't done it before, now is the time. I don't know if this mode is on smartphones, but in any even the simplest camera it should be. Open the settings menu and find the column "select photo resolution". In this section, put the icon on the RAW item.
What is RAW mode? And why I do not shoot in JPG. Well, it's like pie dough. Only in our case it is a dough for further processing of the photo, for its successful color correction. RAW is a pure option, it's colors in their original form, almost as our eye sees them. It is a natural photo without any processing and color replacement. It's like the dough you made at home, with your own hands, from proven clean products.
JPG is a photo that your camera has already adjusted. This is already a processed photo, with color correction not to your taste, but made as the electronic mind of your camera thought. It's like dough bought from a store. Yeah, it's good, too, but it's not gonna make a perfect pie. It is always something missing, whether sugar, or salt.
RAW photo is easier to adjust in photo editor. The colors are not mixed and it will be easier and much faster to achieve the shades you need. And besides, RAW transmits a much wider range of colors than JPG.
All photos in this post are taken in RAW mode. I then directly from the camera uploaded the photo editor Adobe Ligtroom. Editing didn't take me as long as it used to. I like the unsaturated colors in the photo, slightly muted and calm. In the past, when I took photos in JPG I had to spend many hours editing colors to achieve this result. The photos were oversaturated and overexposed. Now I just upload a photo to the editor and apply my ready preset. Read more about processing pictures and on the harmony of color I will tell in my later tutorials. In the meantime, you can take your camera and test this information. Tell us how you liked your result?
Well, we spent another amazing day on the river today, as you can see. The weather is so pleasant. No heat, but it's not cold, it's quite windy, and I love this weather. A great time to walk and enjoy this wonderful summer time. Thanks for reading. Stay with me. I will be pleased with your comments, I always read them with pleasure. Now I don't have much time to answer everyone, but I will try to fix it. See you soon!@ANNA-MI
