Hi, i'm trying to get to grips with my first photos in RAW, which I took because they were high contrast landscape scenes with bright highlights and dark shadows.It seems the simplest way in Digital Photo Professional is to use the highlights slider,...
Hi,I've read the manuals and internet explanations, but still not 100% I know the answer to this one if anyone can help. In A1 Servo to take a person running, I focus by choosing a red focus box on their eyes and half pressing the shutter and keepin...

If I understand right, my Canon 6D's RAW files are CR2 ones which, being RAW, wouldn't degrade until I start saving changes, which can be done into a JPEG or a TIFF, and whereas a jPeg degrades, a TIFF does not. However, it seems that converting th...
Thanks for the replies so far.Skirball, Once I'd converted a RAW file, so that I can stitch the jpegs into a panoramic, you mentioned converting it back to RAW. I didn't realise you could convert back - is that a jpeg being converted back to RAW. ...
