Edit this RAW file Week 14
This weeks RAW file is a well composed well exposed portrait in AMAZING light. But, there is one major issue that is unfortunate, it is not sharp. Somehow the focus was missed, instead of being on the eye it is somewhere on the rocks behind the model. I would be curious to know which focusing mode was used on this image to try and figure out why it was missed.
Non the less it is a great file to play with and edit and Greg and I came up with a few different edits. Which edit do you prefer. how would you edit it? Try your hand at editing this file from the Nikon D90 and see if there is a way to mask or work around the lack of focus. CLICK HERE to download the DNG file.

Edit this RAW file week 13
This week we chose a file from a Nikon D3100 that was taken with the Kit Lens. This is one of the rare times where I chose to go color and Greg decided to go with the black and white.

Edit this RAW file Week 12
It is that time again where you get to EDIT another user submitted RAW FILE. This weeks file is a great landscape image that did pose some interesting dilemmas. Greg and I both ended up giving some corrective criticism as we noticed that the image was shot at 1250 ISO in bright day light which added some un needed noise to the sky.

Edit This RAW file Week 10
Have you ever wanted to edit a file from the D3, well now is your chance. I decided to upload a file from my an engagement session two years ago shot with the D3.
Greg and I both tried our hand at editing this file. I went one way and of course Greg went a different way. But I was really into Gregs edit this week as his color really popped and there was great depth in the image.
I would really love to see what you guys would do with this D3 RAW file. Do you notice anything different when editing a file from the D3 vs other cameras RAW files. Do you think you can do more or its about the same, leave a comment with your edit on the forum.

Edit this RAW file Week 9
For this weeks RAW edit we get a file from a camera that we do not see to often, a Fuji S3. The fuji DSLR’s were built off a Nikon D100 body but with a fuji sensor inside. These fuji sensors were known for being able to capture a huge range of tones in both highlights and shadows.
As you will see in the video Greg and I both had a little bit of trouble starting out to edit this file. I think that I was able to bring it out a little more this week than Greg but still was a little uneasy about my edit. One thing I did notice when sliding the “fill light” slider is how much data there actually was in the shadow area. This file may be the perfect file for your HDR guys out there.
You can download this weeks RAW file RIGHT HERE. I would love to see how you would edit this, will you edit it as an HDR or will you tweak it more like Greg and I?

Edit this Raw file Week 8
It’s a TREE a TREE yea, now edit it. This type of RAW file I think is more up Greg’s alley for editing but you know me, I want to make every picture go BOOOM. With that said, I did make the picture go boom and as always Greg makes it go well whatever Greg usually makes it go.

Edit this Raw file Week 7
This is a prime example of how any camera even with the kit lens get capture a great RAW image. I mention RAW image there because I really think if this image was saved as a jpeg out of the camera it would have lost a lot of its ability to be tweaked properly.
Greg and I both were able to take this image to an interesting place. My edit looks a little more natural in my eyes this week where Greg’s takes a heavy hand on thickness. There are things I like about my edit as well as things I like about Greg’s edit.
Take a look at the video below to see how we both ended up with the final images. If you would like to submit an image you can do so by sending it to FroKnowsPhoto@gmail.com . (we do receive a lot of photos each week and we start from the oldest when selecting)

Edit this RAW file Week 6
This week’s file was both interesting and tough to edit. You can see that it was shot in very low light which usually means the file could possibly work as a black and white. I chose to go with the black and white and Greg decided to bring back the color. You can listen to what we had to say at the end and weather or not it ended up in a fight about who was right or wrong this time.
How would you edit this file, I think there are many ways that you guys could go with this one and I would love to see what you come up with. Click HERE to get access to the RAW file and directions on how to post your edits in the forum.

Edit this RAW file Week #5
Greg and I are back again with another RAW edit of the week and this week it comes from a Canon Camera!!!! This is really the type of file we are looking to edit, a nice capture that needed some work to be brought back or tweaked.
As you will see I decided to do two edits, a color and a black and white and Greg stayed with color to bring out the flames. Take a listen to our face to face at the end, its a little more civil than in weeks prior.
