The Art of RAW Conversion focuses on how to maintain creative control of photos by working directly with
the RAW file format.
While fine for snaps of the family picnic, photographers serious about their work are increasingly moving away from the compressed JPEGs created by digital cameras towards the RAW file format, either by using conversion software supplied by the camera manufacturer or third-party applications. The flexibility provided by RAW, and the expanding number of tools that work with it, have created multiple approaches. While these are happy days for digital photographers, the current maze of possibilities now requires significant effort to navigate.
Subtitled How to Produce Art-Quality Photos with Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Leading RAW Converters, the new volume reflects the growing popularity of RAW workflows by showing how to get optimum results from such converters as Camera RAW, RawShooter, Lightroom and Aperture. Co-authors Uwe Steinmueller and Jürgen Gulbins bring decades of photographic background to the topic, and illustrate the book with their own photos. The book covers such topics as techniques for calibrating a digital camera to work with RAW files; how to get the best results from the leading RAW converters and when to use each; tips for effective color to black-and-white conversion; and coverage of basic color management and batch processing.
The 240-page The Art of RAW Conversion can be purchased on the No Starch Press site for $39.95. |
