In week 6 I struggled to get my head around taking RAW images so reverted back to using the image provided for us so I could use a professional one and be able to edit it properly instead of using one that was not as good. It was interesting to be able to see the different between a RAW image and a JPEG image as I didn’t think there would be any difference, however you can tell that one has been compressed and one has not.
When editing, I enjoyed being able to experiment with the different settings and being able to see what difference each individual one makes. I wanted to make the photo stand out more, so it was interesting to see how each setting would do that or would do the opposite. I feel as though I have got my head around all of this and understand it a lot more and will be able to put these skills to use on the images I will use on my final piece.
