Right now, at least for this type of shooting I was doing, I was going more for subtle editing. However, I'm new to both photography and editing. I've set my Rebel T7 to shoot both high-def JPG and RAW because some pictures I've taken I haven't wanted to touch up a lot for one reason or another.
I'm dipping back into editing, and was hoping for some input into shooting tips and editing the photos.
This is the JPG the camera generated.
This was my first RAW edit. Untouched white balance with increased saturation, vibrancy, and a little noise reduction.
This is the next RAW edit where I allowed an auto adjustment of the white balance (The lighting was 2pm in Beverly Hills, if that adds context) and actually used less noise reduction.
Thank you in advance. I know these pictures aren't very good, but I know I gotta keep working at it if I ever wanna get any better.
Hi there! Shooting in both JPG and RAW is a great way to give yourself flexibility with editing, especially as you're still exploring your style. RAW files are perfect for subtle adjustments without losing image quality, which sounds ideal for the look you're aiming for.
