Post-processing RAW images, my first attempts.

This might be one of those posts I’ll see in a years time and be dreadfully embarrassed about.

I’ve been taking RAW and jpg images on my new DSLR camera ever since I got it in December, but only just today gone into the whole “post-processing” route. This is where you take the image your camera saw, and edit the saturation, lightness and a few other settings to improve the photo.

I was instantly in love with this, the first time I tried this was a few weeks ago and I was scared so never explored it fully, but today I did and I loved the results, which I’ve put in below.

Here’s a simple, more subtle before and after shot of Gizmo, my dog;
