That is not to say that it can’t be changed and support a non destructive workflow, Lightroom is able to work with JPG’s as well, you just won’t be able to push the image as far in a JPG workflow, compared to a RAW file. The image can be changed using Lightroom, however, it is not as flexible when it comes to editing and certain elements can start to be destroyed (depending on many different factors, mostly relating to how the JPG was created in the first place).
The JPG format is actually a final image picture format and it is created in the camera, this means that the colour, sharpness, saturation as well as other elements are fixed in the picture and can’t be undone. Most Digital SLR and compact system/mirror-less cameras today support both the JPG and RAW format. RAW files & images can be confusing, so, it’s worth mentioning why it’s an import part of the picture making process. What are RAW files & images and where does Lightroom put them? It also means that when used correctly, it won’t take up huge amounts of storage for the adjustments. Not only does this protect you, but provides you creative freedom to try different visions on the same picture without having to commit to anything. Lightroom supports non destructive and non linear imaging workflow (for RAW files, as well as other file formats (png,tiff, psd etc), which effectively means Lightroom won’t make any changes to the original files and all changes are stored separately in a small format called Metadata, as well as allowing you to make any changes at any point in time without having to think about dependencies.
There are some key principles that Lightroom adopts to make this happen.
XOA LICH SU COCCOC PROFESSIONAL
Lightroom does many things to help the Photographer, from providing an intuitive interface for the beginner, but providing powerful tools for the advanced professional Photographer.
How will Lightroom help the Photographer ? You can see in the picture below that the Photographers typical workflow is label using the tabs at the top right hand side of Lightroom. Lightroom was designed in this way, with the photographer in mind and since then has grown in features to support new requirements, including the management and simple development of videos from the camera/phone. The other side of the problem is that any solution must support RAW files, as well as a way to not damage the picture, but provide a way to be creative and an ability to create beautiful images. Lightroom exists because it solves a very basic problem, and that was to provide an imaging solution for Photographers that would support the natural workflow from start to finish, but to provide elegance and simplicity.
XOA LICH SU COCCOC SOFTWARE
Lightroom is a software application made by Adobe that allows a Photographer to mange their pictures and videos, as well as providing an elegant way to edit them and create beautiful finished Photographs and maybe a little bit of video.
XOA LICH SU COCCOC SERIES
The idea of this series is to show the basics, but with the idea that as your skills grow, you will also develop your own technique, but it’s a great place to start and see how other people use the features in the product. The workflow is something that use for my image making and maybe different from other people, and that’s ok, because people find their own groove with the product. So decided to put together a short series of videos that show my workflow around Lightroom. I wanted to take a different approach and focus on the how, rather than the what. What is Lightroom, how does it work and what’s the best way to get started.
