Naturally, it\u2019s time consuming to edit every single photo from the raw file \u2013 there\u2019s a lot to do to reach that polished stage, and you have to really know your way around Adobe software. There\u2019s also the memory issue of raw files taking up more space, both on your camera during a shoot and stored on your hard drive. Finally, if you were to strip the raw versus JPEG argument back to basics, yes, the latter does look better straight out of the camera.<\/p>\n

But how many photographers point, click and are done there and then? How often do you get the image you\u2019re after, just like that? Even if you\u2019re shooting in JPEG, there will be some editing involved, and you\u2019re only cheating yourself by not starting off with originals of the highest quality.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Capture what is true to life
\nA raw photo captures exactly what\u2019s there; the entire tonal range and full colour information, so in editing you can decide what to keep, adjust, enhance and lose altogether. The file size is large because they are uncompressed and true to life, meaning you have more to play around with.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Start with the whole picture
\nWhen editing a JPEG, you\u2019re simply not presented with enough information to use as a starting point. JPEG\u2019s irreversible compression throws away some of the information at the point of capture, so there\u2019s no way to adjust over exposure, eliminate banding and enhance colour. On top of that, if you don\u2019t remember to duplicate the image and save out a new version, the file will lose quality each time you open, adjust and save again. With a raw file you\u2019re not doing anything to the original data, so you can go back to it, and start again, as many times as you like. Then if you need to, you can save the final version as a JPEG when you\u2019re happy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Why your monitor matters when editing raw
\nBy shooting and editing raw, you\u2019ll achieve richer images displaying more colour, depth and tone. But consider this \u2013 what if the equipment that you edit on doesn\u2019t output all of this information? If your monitor doesn\u2019t display the range and subtlety of a raw image, then you may be missing out the high quality that you are striving for.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

What EIZO ColorEdge can do for you
\nEIZO ColorEdge users are able to see aspects in images from raw files which are not visible elsewhere. Regular monitors are limited to the sRGB colour gamut and around 16.7 million display colours, whereas EIZO ColorEdge monitors cover 99% of the Adobe colour space supporting 30-bit colour, extending the colour gamut into over 1 billion colours.\u00a0EIZO ColorEdge also has its own Digital Uniformity Equaliser (DUE),\u00a0which measures brightness and chromaticity across the screen, making corrections to accurately show uniform tone and true blacks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shoot in RAW to guarantee you\u2019re getting the most out your edit, but make sure you do it on an EIZO ColorEdge.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
