My first attempts in RAW!

I've shot in RAW mode before but could never figure out how to open and edit them, well today I figured it out and I'm having fun editing them! There is such a difference!

Here are 2 of my son, David. Shot in RAW, edited in photoshop CS2. CC welcomed! ;)

Great shots... gotta go RAW. I think the pictures are over exposed about a 1/2 stop. Good thing about RAW is that it's very accommodating with exposures.

And the last picture, B/W conversion, try using the green filter slider to darken the grass behind David's head to isolate him... sorta like this.
