I highly recommend shooting RAW because of the amount of extra data it captures. It's a common Myth that RAW is for beginners to fix their mistakes. Professionals, like myself, shoot in RAW (or RAW + JPG) to capture as much color and detail as possible.

Great video. Do you have any tips on the best way to export a edited RAW?

[CANNOTDIEFILMS]

Thanks so much for this, man. Filmmaker coming into the photo world a bit, wasn’t sure where to start with raw photos!

[dominicconricode]

Radial filter was my favorite tip from this video, can’t wait to use it on some pictures I took of my friends playing soccer!

[reneeeasterling]

Thanks for this video. I’m new to photography and I’m struggling on how to export my photos from light room to clients . I shoot raw and edit them in light room. What should my sizing be so they can have high and low resolution images.

[JamalPhoenix]

Would have never guessed you could turn that original darked out picture into something so good.

[davidclark]

If i need really superior photos do I need LightRoom AND Photoshop? First, i work on the image at LightRoom and, later, finishing the image in Photoshop?

[FRESHENDEAVOUR]

I'm incredibly new to LR so every little helps!

Thank you for making this video, you helped me bring back a RAW DNG portrait that had an over exposed summer sky and an under exposed subject. Luckily nothing clipped and I was able to get a great image out of it! Fantastic tutorial and you made me thankful for my cameras abilities!
