DIGITAL CAPTURE
GETTING MORE FROM RAW

19 MARCH 2011

Level - Basic to Intermediate

This workshop is designed for photographers who want to extend their understanding of the underlying principles of digital photography to enhance creativity, and to establish effective workflows for managing and processing their RAW camera files into exhibition quality prints.

THE DIGITAL CAMERA & DIGITAL CAPTURE

The workshop starts with a tethered shooting session using a variety of digital cameras to allow direct comparison of image characteristics and quality for each camera class:

• Point and shoot
• Micro 4/3rds
• DSLR
• Medium format

The resulting images will be analysed to show the effect of exposure, ISO rating and lighting on image quality. Techniques will be presented to demonstrate how to create atmosphere and mood while shooting, and for further enhancement through RAW image processing.

PROCESSING RAW FILES

• Discuss the differences between RAW and JPEG file formats
• Quality implications of these differences
• Review of the leading RAW image processing software
  
• Demonstration of RAW processing techniques for image enhancement

ESTABLISHING A RAW WORKFLOW
Digital photography has the potential to produce thousands of RAW files over time, and each RAW file may be used to produce multiple versions for a range of different purposes. A systematic workflow is essential to be able to manage and preserve your digital files against equipment failure. This module presents a digital workflow that may be used with any RAW processing software.

• Image downloading and file naming
• Rating and editing files
• Folder structures for easy retrieval
• Image processing settings
• Colour Management settings
