RAW Processing of Photographs for Beginners in Affinity Photo Takes The Mystery Out of The Process
Channel: Affinity Inspiration
Date: 2020-03-31

If you are taking RAW photographs and developing them yourself or wondering what all the fuss is about when people mention RAW then this is for you. RAW Image processing may seem like a Black Art to many, but really it is how you should be using Affinity Photo. 

As you may know from previous videos I have done I use Apple Photos to store my images and photographs. I always shoot in RAW mode only. Never JPG any more. It’s a waste of space and resources. Of course for happy snaps - family photos of the kids on the back lawn it’s fine. But if are anything past the happy-snapper, then you need to think about the quality of your images. Processing RAW images give you absolute control of your image development before you commit them to the final PNG or JPG output. It’s much more difficult to make fine alterations after you have saved them in any of the other formats. 
So having said all that if you are new to this, I do hope you get to see how simple RAW processing really is.
If you want to try your hand at RAW processing and don’t have a camera that can take RAW images, fear not… download Halide from the app store. Fiddle with the controls and set it to take RAW images by default and shoo away.
