Despite having had my dSLR for over 2 years, it has taken me until now to even begin experimenting with shooting in RAW. I knew the magic of shooting in RAW really lies in the post-processing power but I didn’t really appreciate it until I actually got a trial copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements and saw what you could do with RAW. Here is a really good example of what you can save by shooting in RAW
The straight out of camera (SOOC) shot was completely underexposed — my flash was running out of battery and hadn’t recharged when I took this shot. A quick adjustment of the white balance in PSE while opening the original RAW .CR2 file completely saved this photo (as well as some other photos that suffered the same flash malfunction.) I will never go back to shooting in JPG ever again!
