The picture was taken quickly as I was walking past, it is not straight. Highlight and shadow recovery work very well. ![]() Here is the original file I’m working on. Once the photos are imported, you can get to work pretty fast. The extra hyphens, min, h, s are missing and I don’t see that I can add them in. Lightroom uses a more flexible editor and I can get a name like : Sony-A7r3-10h01min51s.arw I rename the files starting by the name of the camera then the capture date and time. The importing is simple enough and I can do the same as in Lightroom : I put all my photos in subfolders classed by year/month/date. All the images here are screenshots so the definition will not be that of the real files. Let’s edit a photo and I’ll make a few comments on my workflow, the things I like and the things that are missing in Photo Raw. Photo raw 2018.5 is the first piece of software that can do this on its own. Lightroom/Photoshop with plugins cover my needs. My street photos go on Flickr, Instagram and google+, I sometime publish to 500px as well.I used the Nik Software/Google plugins from photoshop for a long period and that covered anything I needed for my landscapes, portraits and architecture : some precise contrast adjustments, adjusting colour contrast is fabulous etc… I never really learned how to do this in photoshop without plugins so I need to have some kind of equivalent if I want to replace photoshop/lightroom.I need little for my family photos, some quick adjustments, straighten and crop.The software I use needs to do that properly : I want to modify the colour response and contrast globally, manage the structure, dodge and burn locally, add a vignette and odd little things. My street photography is in black and white.I want to import all my raw files and keep them together but export my family photos in a separate place from my personal photography. I take street photography mainly but on my memory card I will also have some family photos and some other genres depending on my mood and the places I go to (architecture, macro, travel photography…).So what photography do I do and what do I need? I encourage you to think about this as well, it can help to simplify and streamline the processing and save time as well. I watch videos on youtube from time to time to learn and I see people take a drab landscape to a 500px winner in what seems to be a lot of time and a lot of steps… I couldn’t do that, I lack the imagination I think and anyway, all the landscapes on 500px look the same… I still can’t use photoshop very well, and to be honest I have very few ideas on what to do to transform my photos. I have used Lightroom/Photoshop for years and have a nice workflow in place. Testing these new programs has enabled me to think about was I need and expect from my photo editor. There has been (and still is) a lot of publicity around the software, many reviewers criticised the bugs, the slow speed and the lack of features that left it clearly behind the industries standard editor which is Lightroom.įast forward a year and a half, I read that the Photo Raw 2018.5 was a usable piece of software so I gave it a try. ![]() Although I disregarded it for years when it was still called Perfect photo suite because it lacked any kind of photo management (DAM) and raw processing, in 2017 the company released its first version of the Photo Raw software. ![]() ![]() In the list of photo management and editors, ON1 Photo Raw has been under my radar for a while.
