The new "Edit the RAW" thread.

An Exception · 10 Feb 2013 at 16:06

Thought I would start a new thread considering the other one is a bit messy now that you can't download the raws anymore.

Below raw is only 4.6mb, so easy to download.

Can I suggest a simple structure?

One image per week

Is it too harsh to say you can't submit a RAW unless you contribute?

Mp4 · 10 Feb 2013 at 16:20

Yeah i think 1 photo a week maybe get a list going who has contributed and get a list of new raws we can edit?

I think it called for B&W

Would have probably gone for a B&W as well but as 2 have already been posted I'll stick to the colour version.

King Damager · 10 Feb 2013 at 19:20

Nothing massively different, although quite a few subtle changes. Didn't want to destroy the original gold/bronze colour too much.

How about a week from when the image is posted, image owner chooses his favourite and then they uploasd a RAW, week starts again when the RAW is posted?

TBH, that is my far edit so far. I agree, a simple boost and preserving the colour looks the best to my eyes.the B&W oes are nice but completely unnecessary for the photo IMO, the bronze colour is what makes the subject special!

A crop like Ksanti used would help.

I dunno, I felt the textures of his outfit would work well with black and white, but you got me thinking so I tried a colour one too. Damn these Nikon files are nice

Sounds good to me.

I'm looking at the files and finding although Mancubus's isn't my fav process the extra pop on the man makes it the only one where I don't find the bokeh ball near the face totally distracting

The B&W's too to an extent, that would be cloned out for me

Very nice work though, but without seeing atleast the histogram or sliders nothing to learn from really

Magic_x_uk · 10 Feb 2013 at 20:50

i just downloaded the file and my photoshop said something along the lines of

could not complete your request because the .DNG file is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw.

Why is that? I can only my RAW files when I take them with my Nikon DSLR

An Exception · 10 Feb 2013 at 20:52

update camera raw.

Magic_x_uk · 10 Feb 2013 at 20:57

An Exception · 10 Feb 2013 at 21:05

Open photoshop, click help, updates.
Wait for updates to be gathered. Install updates for camera raw.
