The right amount of sharpness is crucial to all photography. Not every photo can be pin sharp, and sometimes it’s best to get rid of an outright blurry photo. Sharpness can be affected by factors such as lens parameters. As long as the image isn’t completely blurry, it can be sharpened with editing in post-production. This is a skill that will always be useful.

Almost everyone who’s spent more than a little time with a camera shoots to RAW. After all, RAW lets you make bad photos average, average photos excellent, and excellent photos even better. That’s because it offers significantly more image data than, for example, JPG. And thanks to this it gives you room for much better edits. So let’s take a look at how to work with it.

When you watch a good movie, you probably notice more than just the story. If you’re a photographer, chances are you’re drawn to the film’s color style too. You might wonder how the filmmakers achieved that look and whether you can do something similar with your photos.

With the right adjustments, you can give your photos the same atmosphere as your favorite movies!
