And in this installment, we'll be focusing in on Adobe Camera Raw. You know, Camera Raw is a powerful and helpful tool in any digital photographic workflow. You can think of it as the starting point for perfecting your photographs. In this installment, we'll be focusing in on the fundamentals. We'll look at an overall Raw workflow. We'll talk about how you can improve and correct exposure.
We'll look at how we can change color temperature and how we can crop and recompose our photographs. We'll explore how we can convert our color images to black and white, as well. Now, we'll be covering all of these topics and more so, without further delay, let's begin.
