10 Step RAW Photo Processing / Where to Start, What To Do Next, Where to Finish

When I first started editing RAW photos, I had no idea where to start. I learned how to use different tools and techniques, but I lacked context. What should I do first? What should I do later? To answer those questions, and to formalize my approach, I developed my own 10 step framework. These are the steps I follow every single time I sit down to edit an image, from start to finish. 10 Step RAW Photo Processing Framework =================================== 0:00 Introduction 1:35 Step 1 - Lens Corrections 2:46 Step 2 - Transform 3:38 Step 3 - Crop 4:10 Step 4 - White Balance 6:10 Step 5 - Exposure 8:10 Step 6 - Contrast 9:46 Step 7 - Color 11:50 Step 8 - Dodging and Burning 13:25 Step 9 - Cleanup 14:35 Step 10 - Sharpening 15:30 Outro =================================== White Balance Cards (from Step 4) https://geni.us/9np3 https://geni.us/BuEz1T https://geni.us/GRnT Free 30 Day Trial of Capture One https://bit.ly/2Jyuzdg △ Check out my gear: https://kit.co/todddominey △ Subscribe to this channel: http://bit.ly/ToddDomineyYouTube △ Follow me on Instagram:   / dominey   △ Buy a print: https://dominey.photo/prints △ All music via Musicbed.
