Out of the dark

Here are two more photos from the Old Lahaina Luau that I saved by using adjustments in the RAW converter before turning them into JPEGs. These are the before and after of each shot so you have something to compare to. I know how Paul likes to see the before and afters. LOL



I have been very amazed at how much you can change a RAW image in the converter without degrading the image. I have been able to "save" several images just because I shot them in RAW. These images were only adjusted in the RAW converter. The only thing I did to them in photoshop was put the frames on.



As much as I wasn't impressed by the food at the Old Lahaina Luau I can't same the same thing about the Hula Girls! LOL

  3. Well this certainly demonstrates the advantages of shooting RAW when in less than perfect lighting conditions!

    I can see that RAW would be good to use where you have backlighting issues.

    I suspect that you are right about the food / dancers thing at your Luau...

    Both very nice photographs!
