While sorting through photos from a recent road trip through the Southwest a couple of weeks ago, I came across a photo that wasn’t good enough to keep but made a perfect candidate for a quick demo of the salvaging power of RAW images. I cooked up a quick before/after shot (not unlike the one above) and shared it on Reddit.
The post generated a lot of discussion and interest, among which was an email from Josh Dunlop at ExpertPhotography, asking if I’d like to write up a brief tutorial on my process.
