The fun part

The fun part about blogging here at rawformat is that I'm at exactly the right level for it.

What do I mean? Photography has been, for all intents and purposes, a hobby throught my life that I picked up largely from my father. He's forgotten more about film than I'll ever know. Practically everything I've learned about how to use cameras in general and photoshop (and digital images) in particular has been self-taught.

Two and a half years ago I successfully edited a friend out of a picture (I still feel bad about it, but the picture looked so much better). Since then I've slowly begun to understand how the tools and features of photoshop work together to create good images. Only in the past few months have I started to play with RAW format files.

So blogging about RAW here is an excellent parallel to my own understanding of the format and the tools available for it. That's the fun part.

Side note: if you get Photoshop User, the NAPP magazine, the JAN/FEB issue reviews RawShooter Premium 2006 on page 92. They gave it excellent marks ;)

A question one of my students asked me:

Shooting a RAW image; if you turn on sharpening in your camera and use Adobe Camera Raw to process your RAW image, does the camera's sharpening actually stay with the image? Or is camera information like this discarded by ACR when processing RAW images.

Thanks very much.
