1) RAW images have (more often than not) greater colour depth than JPEGs.
-
the first thing we need to do is get the photos off the card. For this I use a dedicated card reader, rather than having to plug my camera into my computer and sit there draining camera batteries
-
Each wedding has its own folder in my Photos directory. Inside there are (usually) three more sub-directories: RAW, TIFF and Finished
-
Once we’ve got the shots onto the computer, the RAW directory is backed up to DVD. Twice.
-
rate each shot
-
work through each of the remaining shots in turn. I do any colour correction that might be needed, along with some exposure tweaking. I might convert an image to B&W, or tone it, or maybe add a vignette. I also do my cropping at this stage. I rarely find myself needing to do “spot” changes to an image, such as cloning, so the vast majority of manipulation happens to the RAW before it’s made it any further.
-
Once the photos have been edited, it’s time to convert them from RAW to something else.
-
If there are any shots which need to be worked on in Photoshop, this is when it happens
-
Most of the time, though, there’s no Photoshop work to be done. In that case I just skip straight to the next step, which is Noise Ninja. This little beauty is a noise reduction package.
-
Finally, I can delete that bulky TIFF directory, though I’ll want to save any that have been worked on in Photoshop.
-
The finished JPEGs are backed up to DVD and stored with the DVD of the RAWs (again, two copies are made)
