Raw image processing

Raw image processing involves converting the unprocessed data captured by a camera's sensor into a viewable image. When a photo is taken in RAW format, it preserves all the original information, including brightness, color, and details, without compression or adjustments. Processing RAW images means editing these details—such as correcting exposure, adjusting white balance, or enhancing colors—before converting them into standard formats like JPEG or TIFF. This process offers greater control and higher image quality, allowing photographers to fine-tune their images while maintaining the integrity of the original data.
