The most up-to-date techniques for shooting in RAW format, using the newest features of the latest softwareMany serious amateur photographers have trouble getting that "wow" shot from their digital cameras. And they€™re discovering that working in RAW (the digital equivalent of a film negative) takes their photographs to the next level, giving them the control they need to get the highest image quality possible. The problem is, while most photographers know how to shoot RAW, they might not understand how to best deal with "RAW captures" to achieve the ultimate goal: producing the best images. In Camera RAW 101, digital photography and software expert Jon Canfield explains everything you need to know to make the most of RAW captures using the newest versions of Photoshop, Elements, and Lightroom. You€™ll find out how to get the most detail from your RAW files€“whether it€™s correcting shadows and highlights, fixing white balance, or gett

    I use Adobe Photoshop Elements. This book helped me understand and improve my use of this software's RAW module; at the same time this book explains the features of the more advanced RAW modules in Lightroom and CS4 which is very useful information should I wish to upgrade in the future. Until reading this book, I captured all images in both RAW and JPG formats; now I have the confidence to capture only RAW images except for those situations where the levels tools of JPG are needed such as to add labels to a particular image. Very helpful book!

    Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2014

    I have a bit of a background in working with digital cameras and with Photoshop Elements. I recently acquired Lightroom though and I had never used the RAW format (I have a Nikon D70). This book is out of date a bit, it is based on older versions of Photoshop Elements, Photoshop, and Lightroom, but I have not found that to be a problem at all. For the special price of $10 I find it to be a real bargain and I have really learned quite a bit as I work through it.

    If you are new to Camera RAW, or have just worked with it a bit, I would definitely recommend this book as a great starter. Later on I'll pick up something a little more advanced, but right now I feel like there is plenty of learning to be achieved from this book and I'm happy with it and happy for the great price since so many of the books in dvds in this genre are thrice as much, or more.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Good for the uninitiated
    Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2009
    The simple truth is that there are many photographers out there with the capability to shoot RAW but are still shooting JPEG. It's mostly because of the fear that shooting in RAW format will increase their already hectic workflow. Then there's the photographers that just don't really get how much of a difference in flexibility and capability that shooting in RAW can have on the outcome of a digital photograph. If you fall into either of these camps then this book may be just the ticket you need to getting the most out of your images.

    No, it's not for everyone. You're really not going to learn much if you already have a solid RAW work-flow, although there were a couple tricks and tips I did pick up that I either didn't know or had forgotten about.

    This isn't about how experienced you are as a photographer either, it's about how knowledgeable you are about your work-flow. That's what's important. The better and faster you are at getting your images from your camera to final output the more time you'll spend behind the lens instead of in front of a computer monitor.

    While you can get much of this information around the Internet I've always found it much handier to have a book that will take you step by step and to have access to as a reference when it comes to software.

    I think our author does a fine job of explaining and showing the capabilities found in Adobe Elements, Photoshop, and Lightroom as RAW work-flow software programs. A pretty good book to get if you aren't already shooting in RAW.

    Great - I have read this book from cover to cover and used it and refered back to it when I download my photos from RAW into PhotoShop I find that you should make as many if not all corrections you need to make in RAW before saving the photo to another format. This book can help you achive your best photos ever. Highly recommended to all who shoot in RAW or to those who want to shoot in RAW but are not sure what to do with the photos after you have taken them.
