Exposure, Color and Raw Processing - a good read

A very nice and understandable approach to learning a bit more about what goes on when your raw data becomes an image.

Kirk a very interesting read. All I can say is I am glad that the work I choose to produce doesn't rely on absolute colour reproduction accuracy. All I really have to worry about is how it looks to the generally uneducated viewer. Even the product photography that I do isn't a problem, as again the client would be more than happy with a JPEG straight out of an iPad. But then the client will be viewing the images on the said uncalibrated iPad, or a laptop. Still it's good to know how it should be done.

Very interesting, thanks for posting!

That's a good knowledge tool.

It took a long time and much effort to write, and it is a huge gift given to the photographic community free and clear.
