After RAW Conversion
Before RAW Conversion
Converting images can be a bit confusing at first. Think of it as your preliminary edit where you are doing the strongest adjustments, then use Photoshop for the more technical and finer details. It's a global edit (some local if needed) of your image. The best part is that none of the adjustments are actually affecting the RAW file, so you can do whatever you want with no image degradation or damage! So how do you know where to start?
Well first off, I adjust everything from top-to-bottom. This seems to be the most natural flow, and will create less chaos for each edit. I choose not to add too much fill light on most images because it looks better to render this with local adjustment brushes or using curves later.
