Preface
It is my longtime dream to write a book and publish it for free. But I was so confused on what to write. When I started photography 2010, I came to know that post processing of images play an important role in digital photography. Later in 2011, when I got my first DSLR, I was opened to the world of Adobe camera RAW which is a powerful tool for processing RAW files. A person who’s interested in photography should learn basics of camera as well as post processing as they both go hand in hand in the process of getting a neat image. I have seen many amateur photographers and beginners use Camera RAW. They move the sliders to and fro without knowing what is been done to the image. I was no exception either. Later when I came to know the true purpose of each slider I thought that I should tell it to others too, so that they can do post processing with much better understanding. This is the reason I started writing the book. This book is basically addressed for Beginners and amateurs who are new to digital photography or Camera RAW. This will give them a basic idea about different properties of a Digital Image and how it can be tweaked in order to get the best outcome. When I said book, you would be expecting a voluminous publication. But on the contrary, this book is limited to not more than fifty
