Shooting images with the RAW capture setting on a digital single lens reflection camera provides an indispensable extra level of image control, thereby allowing you to revamp a photography completely, if you wish, on your computer at a later date.

The Advantage of shooting RAW

You have shot all your images , downloaded the RAW files , you can now make the selection from them to find those that you want to process into canvas art. As RAW images don’t undergo any in camera processing, unlike JPEGs, which have compression and other parameters applied, depending on how the camera is set, RAW images can be thought of as film negatives in a digital version – they contain the raw image data before you have gone the processing area (or, in this case, the computer) to get the final print. The key advantage of working with RAW images is that you can process them later on a computer, each and every aspect of them can be adjusted , if necessary adding colour saturation, exposure, sharpness and brightness, taking into accounts for vignetting characteristics of of your camera .
