What is raw in DSLRs. RAW format. The benefits of converting RAW to JPEG on a personal computer. Systematization and sorting of images

"Syria", which is closer to the truth. jpeg to get information ready to automatically see software security (sufficient for displaying a frame on a standard monitor). As if he had mercy and smashed the frame too dark, navpaki, overexposure, militant chi galaslivy, do not correct it with daily care. Raw Well "forgive" incorrectly set and allows you to complete the first work for more advanced programs. The same image of the Raw file is invisible, lower than the Jpeg frame.

Vmist Raw-file

1. Metadata: kill the baby, set processing parameters, identification cameras;
2. Preview, mostly in Jpeg format;
3. Data from the matrix.

Import such a file as 15 megabytes. The fallow type of the Raw model may have the same extension: .nef, .cr2, .arw.

Possibility Raw

1. Correction of the white balance;
2. Correction of the exposition;
3. Correction of distortion;
4. Visible to the effect of chromatic aberration;
5. Richness, sharpness and contrast.

It is not possible to try to understand that the post-harvest mustache is not possible. The frame is to be blamed for being clear-cut, so that the program can’t fix it in any way.

Programs that work with Raw-format

The leather maker of mirror cameras allows you to use the software safely, which allows you to convert Raw to Jpeg, or save it in another format, for example, Psd for further processing Adobe software Photoshop. by ourselves jpeg file You won’t want a self-respecting professional to practice;

A lot of first-time photographers are encouraged to get better with cost-free utilities that come with the kit with the camera itself. Canon uses Canon Utilities RAW Image Converter with Raw, Nikon uses Nikon Imaging and Capture NX, Sony uses Sony RAW Driver.

What about universal software security, the most popular one? Adobe Photoshop Lightroom allows you not only to edit the image itself, but also to prepare it before publication on a photo hosting site for sale, adding all the necessary metadata to it. Tim, whoever wants to work with Photoshop, needs to install Adobe plugin Camera RAW, which “translates” this format to the mind of the editor. However, "Lightroom" that "Photoshop" є one, but even more suttєvy nedolіk - їhnya varіst.

As a result, there are fewer prints in Raw format on flash cards, and more time for processing. So why do all professional photographers need to know more about this format? Below you will know the tips for 8 questions about the capture in Raw.

1. What is Raw?

Father, let's take a look at all the pros and cons. Basically, Raw is just a file format, like a digital alternative to JPEG. Possibility of the essence of digital SLR cameras, as well as expensive compact cameras.

2. Why is Raw superior to JPEG?

Raw file, as if transferring the name (in the translation from English - gray), taking data, removing from the matrix of the camera, looking at the orphaned, unbroken look. This is why I give a lot of thought about the quality and post-production of the photograph.

Someone who captures Raw files is like a digital analogue of an old-fashioned film negative. This “current negative” takes a large amount of information from itself, as it does from the “digital photo lab”, tobto. in the computer programs, marked for editing.

The raw file gives you all the output data, which can be adjusted later without losing image clarity. You can adjust the sharpness, contrast, white balance and set the exposure even after you have chosen the material, which is considered to be superior to the Raw format.

3. Are the installations not guilty?

Deyakі old-timers, maybe, chastise, but, in my opinion, the whole attribute of digital photography itself is that it gives us the ability to control more richly.

Zavdyaki Raw format you can change the color, contrast, clearness, tint, and all the same not be listed as black. That is why a good photographer can boast of such opportunities all over the world.

For the help of Raw, you can turn over a hopeless frame, so you can simply adjust the basic settings.

4. What are the pluses of the Raw format?

So. I want more information. JPEG for 8-bit images with skin values ​​from three basic colors (red, green, blue) from 00000000 to 11111111.

For quiet, who is not led by the system double code, I'll explain what it means, what JPEG to replace 256 different values ​​of the skin color channel.

Also, image pixels can display up to 16,700,000 colors (256x256x256). However, a digital mirror camera for buildings has even more colors.

5. How much more?

Digital reflex cameras, as a rule, are 12-bit or 15-bit skin-channel brightness levels from 4000 to 16000.

The result is 68.7 billion, or 35.1 trillion of different investments.

You can make you make it possible, it’s just that I did not have the same time, the Ale of the Zavdyaki can be introduced by the sulfur Zmіni in the lalastuvanni contrast, the Ekspitzi, the collar balance in the process of the red -haired unique triumphant, as if.

Top programs for processing data processing in 16-bit editing mode, which allows you to save all data during the processing process.

Photo Science: How your camera's sensor converts color from JPEG and RAW formats.

In order to recognize the color of the leather pixel on the sensor of your camera equipment with one of the three color filters (black, green or blue). In this way, one pixel can evaluate the brightness of more than one of the main colors. However, by stating the meaning of the substantial pixels, it is possible to reveal the exact color of the skin of them.

If you are photographing in JPEG, the process of recognizing the color through external pixels is carried out by the camera itself. Znіmayuchi in Raw, you can make the necessary changes on the computer after the zёmka.

More cameras vicorist filter color model Bayer (vin testimony on this picture). In this system, the number of green filters is greater, the lower ones are red and blue, but it is explained that the eye of a person is more sensitive to green color.

6. Do all editors support the Raw format?

Most programs often support the Raw format. You may find it useful in the programs that come with your camera, and the remaining versions of such popular software as Serif PhotoPlus, Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements and Corel PaintShop Pro will again support Raw files.

Prote Raw format is not standardized, it is a leather-based vikoristovuyu coding system of information. Moreover, with skin exit new cameras before the end of the system, changes are made. At the link with the sim photo editors, it is necessary to constantly upgrade, so that it can correctly work with the files of the latest cameras.

7. Why can't Raw be standardized?

So, this fact, obviously, can be inferred from oneself. Updates software security become available only in a few hours after the appearance of a new camera. And the company Adobe, no doubt, does not hope to update for the old versions of Photoshop(so you have to re-update the program, if you want it to be simpler, you would just install the free plug-in on the plug, so you don’t get stuck the rest version which is the world's leading software provider).

The Adobe company tried to develop its standard for sirih files, DNG (Digital Negative), but more or less other scribes came up with such an innovation.

8. Do you want to beat Raw regularly?

Tick ​​Raw as often as possible. Even though they are short, Raw files take up more space on memory cards and on the computer, lower JPEGs and are recorded longer. Obviously, with a serial change, the camera's buffer will start to get faster, and the camera will begin to tumble. In some mirrorless cameras, the buffer will be filled in after 4-5 frames.

For reasons why sports photography, as a rule, is known to JPEG format. We allow them to take pictures at a high frame rate, so as not to miss the shortest frame.

To finish it off, just like our photographer-pochatkіvets to master the control of his camera, the new vine has no trouble eating:

And what is RAW and why should I recommend it in the new world!?

Definitely, it is unlikely that anything is possible. It has its own pluses and its own minuses for zoomka with a DSLR in RAW format.

On the most photo-forums, even more popular are such explanations, I will bring the most important of them in order of changing popularity.

Advantages of the RAW format:

• Wide opportunities for post-processing of the "orphan" frame

At this point, all the pluses and ends, the solution will be less guesswork on the topic of post-production.

And now let's look at the minuses of RAW:

• More recent recording on the flash drive of the camera for the first hour of shooting, so you can read it in 100,500 frames without seeing
• The size of the disk space for saving RAW files
• The need for programs that can look at the formats of RAW files in different editors
• Photo credit for "here and now"

We rejected the RAW shards, but if it’s necessary, then we can see the pluses of the JPEG format:

• Shvidky record to swipe on a full flash drive at the hour of zomka, otherwise it seems, you can swipe in charcoal to swipe on the found mirrors
• Photo "here and at once", to save a special hour on post-processing photos

If you need to know the minuses of the JPEG-picture, then I will read the article and search for it independently. Turn it over too rich. The main one is digital noise in the photo, problems for the algorithms when converting from RAW to JPEG, and the impossibility of exposure correction.

I'll give you one more argument about the greediness of RAW, and you won't know how to cross me.

On the same forum, I'm not familiar with this simple variant. Sound everything rested on:

• Do you want to mess around with the post-production!? Get it from RAW.
• Don't want to mess around!? JPEG is your choice.

I know my own option, which is especially for me, putting a little bit in my diet.

My variant sounds better in the food form:

And why do you work, knowing in JPEG, if you want more in post-production!?

You know, I can't help but ask for it.

From that hour, I’m shooting in RAW format and I’m sorry that I already have a “Syria” image from the matrix of the camera and I’m virishuvatimu, as I’m supposed to use post-production, and not the copy of my DSLR with my JPEG-converter.

Size between RAW and JPEG after processing

Look at the photo on the cob of the article, I didn’t dare to give such a look, like I knew jpg. Vaughn would look like this with a serem rank.

Try to show how much time it takes to bring this photo to the view of the photo from the title of the article. At the best time, even richer. In my opinion, it’s practically impossible, that stupidly, scorched.

Whether it’s a novice, it’s easy to grow to the stage of a stuck-out photographer, if you already want more, for example:

• Correct the colors and the balance of the white, the green sky is even less marvelous in itself.
• Zrobiti HDR photo
• "Vityagneti" by light and shadow photography, shot in the daytime of the night club

Thousands of butts of what you want can be. It's easy and simple to satisfy the needs of the RAW format.

Transferring similar clues to the mirrors and flash drives made you feel better about food, which is even more important: the stench released dozens of models of attachments to save your photos.

I know you haven't figured out what I'm hurting yet.

If you want a mirror, if you want a triangular one, there is a RAW + JPEG capture mode. Modern flash cards and hard disks may already have different characteristics, which allow you to cheat in the capture mode and not fool around with the size of the photo, or with the security of the recording.

If you can't decide which format you want to take pictures in, upload your choice to RAW + JPEG. The remaining vibіr you will earn a little bit more, if you get a little bit more until you reach.

What program is better than editing RAW !?

In my non-initiation glance, the link Adobe Camera RAW+Photoshop or Lightroom+Photoshop has not yet been invented. Ale, you need to remember that for the ultimate conversion of raw files, there are thousands of programs and one in a dozen thousand you see at once with your mirror, buying it.

Let me leave you alone in your residual thoughts.

I invite you to my blog again. Welcome to you Timur Mustaev. Just as a photographer who is just starting to master the control of his camera, he begins to wonder that this is the RAW format of photography. Do you know what is the best way to take pictures in RAW format and how can you take pictures for yourself? Let's proceed to the analysis in order.

Appreciate understanding

Let's start from the simplest food. What is the raw format?

RAW(Vid English words raw - syria) - one of the formats of data to avenge unshared information, like going straight from the photomatrix. To save the file new information about the image.

In the world of photography "Syria" the format is perfected, the shards of less serious cameras allow the victorious format.

Important! RAW is the name of the format. Ale warto know that Nikon has RAW format - NEF, and Canon - CR2.

Pros and cons of this format

Advantages:

• The size of the files varies from 12 to 14 bits, while JPEG has less than 8 bits. What do you give given parameter? Vіn zabobіgaє appearance of pasteurization - stripes of colors, which are manifested, when changing the brightness, the replacement of smooth transitions.
• you can either update before zjomkoyu or after it, in other words, you can have more updates in the editor.
• A lot of parameters of the image become a simple material for the filming of an ideal image. Їx can be easily changed. What are the parameters?

1. digital noise
2. The presence of sharpness (advancement of the indicator);
3. Yaskravist;
4. Prestige;
5. Color contrast.

• Correction can correct important imperfections in optics, for example, ignorance or aberration.
• Vykoristannya vsіh possibilities to allow normalization of photographs in terms of clarity, to uniquely relight or darkened areas, in which information about details is available daily.
• The output information when editing is overwritten, so you can always apply a new conversion to the file.
• Different converters represent the RAW file in different ways, so the photographer can easily know his own way in terms of management and creative criteria.
• The photographic latitude of a RAW file is significantly higher than that of a JPEG. Tse dopomogaє in contrasting zoomtsі and zyomtsі in bright sleepy noon.

Shortcomings of the format:

• The speed of writing to the memory card is sufficient, so you can’t get more than 6 fps.
• Borrow Great number memory in JPEG sequences, but more information about the image can be found.
• Shvidky review of these znіmkіv not seen, oskіlki vіdkrivaєtsya only through the converter - especially the program, as it reads the format.
• "Syria" file cannot be shared in social networks, in a blog email. Tse will be available only after the file has been converted.
• It is necessary to try some programs for reviewing "sirih" files in order to choose the best option.

When is the next thing in the “sir” format?

1. You have more than an hour to complete the photo.
2. You don't need a border to save photos.
3. You have such a passion for the fact that you can convey the light more beautifully, lower than a soulless camera.
4. You love profoundly creative creations of your images. If you have too much information, you will act as supplementary material.
5. You want to maximize all the possibilities of the camera and maximize the dynamic range. These objects, which do not enter the dynamic range, appear either overexposed, or strongly darkened, so that all details are spared.
6. You do not need pictures taken from the JPEG format. Thank you for the best quality of photos in RAW format.

Opening an "orphaned" file

How to open a file?

One of ourselves simple methods- click on the mouse given file. If you choose Windows, you can choose a program to open similar files for promotion.

If the file is not displayed, what is the work? The main reason is visibility application programs for a review, and some similar "sirih" extensions. Also, you need to install it!

Software converters

What does RAW format mean?

Herself simple program for vodkrittya that part can be pressed by the DSLR camera picker itself in the kit on the disk. So, Nikon - Nikon Imaging and Capture NX, and Canon - Canon Utilities RAW Image Converter.

If we talk about more professional programs, then the most popular utility is Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. You can help me to complete the photo, and send it to the publication for sales.

Other for popularity vvazhetsya all vіdomy Photoshop. I would like to respect that one installation of the program did not work. It is necessary to install an additional plug-in Adobe Camera RAW, which transfers information for Photoshop that is available to me.

On this day, this plug-in is already for locking to enter graphic editor photoshop, so you don't have to worry about downloading additional files.

Golovny nedolіk and "Lightroom", and "Photoshop" - the price of a license.

Now I want to put together a list of cost-free programs, which are more common:

• « Microsoft Camera Codec Pack» - Official file, suitable only for Windows OS! Includes a lot of formats. It is easy to download from the official site and it allows you to look at the photos.
• XnView – cost-free utility, which supports 500 formats and may function as a simple processing, for example, changing the clarity and diversity of the image.
• IrfanView – no-cost program for review that small redaguvannya. May not re-package the image. To expand the possibilities of the program, use anonymous plugins.
• ACDSee- Paid program, varіstyu 99.99 dollars. Stops not only for review, but for editing and sorting images. In addition to everything, you take away the gloomy goodness.

1. Take photos in RAW format with advanced processing in a graphic editor.
2. You take away less material for your future photography - remember it!
3. To establish a balance of white for the help of the current modes, that is approximately. More precisely, you can fix it later.

I especially take pictures in 2 formats at the same time, not RAW + JPEG good quality. What's the big deal? Everything is simple. After hundreds of znyatih znіmkіv nebhіdny reconsideration and vіdbіr. Therefore, in the JPEG format, I look through all the broken photographs and see the inappropriate ones (including the siri). If something can be worked out with a reshtoy, then it can be processed and brought to reason.

Important! You know, be it a photograph, broken down by either an amateur mirror camera or a professional one, it will require processing.

Nasamkinets, my pleasure to you. If you really want to learn how to work fine photographs and how to properly process them, develop yourself and do your best at this gallery, do not stand on the spot. Tse bring you more emotions and positive emotions from photo shoots.

All the best to you, Timur Mustaev.

If you’re filming on a digital camera (so… if you’re reading this blog, it means you’re using the Internet and the other benefits of civilization, it means you are a normal person today, so… now you’re “yakshcho” – you definitely know the camera)… axis, as you shoot on a digital camera, you definitely have food in front of you - take it in RAW or in JPG. I myself on the chain of food and vіdpovimo at our small statue.

Nasampered, RAW and JPG - tse different formats, created for rіznih zavdan. I skin them with their own pluses and minuses. Naygolovnіshe - understand, what do you really need to be able to, like give RAW, or is simplicity and summancy of JPG more important to you?

For whom it is equal to all the strengths and weaknesses of the skin format. Otzhe.

.JPG

main task JPG format- transfer the most accurate picture minimal vitrates oblige to remember. Vіd tsogo go uѕі yogo nedolіki, vtіm, i perevagi so:

Podbag

JPG is an ideal format for those who value simplicity and clarity of sound. You can work the pictures and force them to each other at the photo lab or home printer. After copying them to your computer, you can immediately send them to your friends via the Internet. They take up little space on flash cards and you have to download JPG to engrave a photo with a format of 10x15 or 15x20 for a high quality.

If you need to take a large number of photos (500, 1000, 1500 frames) and you don't have time to process all these photos with a RAW converter, choose JPG, even the same for some of the creations.

.RAW

RAW format- "Syria", tobto. Vіn vіmagає podshchіє konvertії in JPG or TIFF. On the right, when RAW is taken from a file with a photograph, all information from the matrix of the camera is taken. The very zavdyaki tsіy "vogly" and may be great opportunities in the work, but also all the unhandiness associated with the conversion of files.

Podbag

RAW format is used by professional photographers and photo artists. For them, the possibility of processing that picture quality, like giving RAW, is a necessity. If you are seriously interested in photography, you need a robot with colors, or if you want to take photos in great formats, try shooting in RAW.

P donkey Z catch.
Be-yakіy superechtsі you can know a compromise. І superchka of formats - no blame for that, you can always turn on the function of one-hour capture and RAW, and JPG on your camera. Therefore, insanely, we need more space on the memory card, then you can beat the strengths of both formats.
