Processing basic color
- May seem odd to devote an entire chapter to jpeg processing in a course about raw. But here's my thinking, to get from raw data to a finished image, requires a lot of computational steps and when you shoot in jpeg mode, your camera becomes a machine dedicated to the specific task of getting from raw data to a finished image. Consequently, studying jpeg shooting to learn all of the image processing steps is actually a little simpler than looking at what happens during raw shooting, where that process of converting from raw to a finished image spans your camera and your computer. Don't worry, we'll get to raw in the next chapter. Whether you're shooting jpeg or raw, your camera's image sensor still works the same way. Its capacitors are charged before you shoot. Its surface is then exposed to light when you press the shutter button, and raw data is generated as the sensor is struck by the light from your scene. As soon as the exposure is finished, this raw data is read from the sensor…
