It is amazing how shooting in raw can give the photographer the opportunity to create something that could not be achieved otherwise using the jpg picture processed by the camera.
I took a picture with my Canon Powershot G9 camera, both in RAW and JPG. Then I opened the RAW formatted file in Photoshop Camera RAW and played with it to get the desired picture obtained on the left above. (I have added the little hippo later via Photoshop)
I easily did get a chance to change the white balance, temperature, tint, exposure, brightness, contrast and other options, all from one single screen in seconds.
Shooting colour pictures in RAW also gives the photographer the opportunity to use the Gray Scale Converter in Camera RAW to obtain amazing Black and White photos.
Don't miss this feature if your camera comes with shooting in RAW option.
