RAW workflow help - 02-25-2007, 10:15 PM


I have been using RAW for a couple of months now. And have been pretty happy with the results but lately I have seen some photos that just look like "WOW" they are so sharp and crip and was wondering if any of you would share some tips on how to make pictures "POP" Now I look at my pictures and they seem to be missing the WOW factor..any advice...I use DPP as my RAW processor..

Have you played with increased contrast, saturation, and to some extend increasing shadow levels?

increased contrast = Yes
saturation = Yes,
increasing shadow levels = now


On this example I feel the picture doesn't have POP...it was taken under natural light it looks soft and flat...and was wondering how to fix that..

Not sure if this is what you're looking for or not..but here is my quick interpretation. Ran through a few things in PS that I normally do with my portraits.
