Raw Images
Raw images are untouched files recorded directly by the camera that retain the highest amount of visual information for post-production. These files provide greater flexibility when adjusting color, lighting, and digital retouching.
Raw files commonly include metadata about the shot and form the basis of post-production workflows like color grading and retouching.
Pro Tip
Capture in RAW when you expect heavy color grading or retouching to retain the most editing headroom.
Use Cases
Used when maximum editing latitude is required, such as color adjustments, lighting correction, and detailed retouching in photo and video production.
