KEPT YOUR MISTAKE
Normally, digital cameras will produce severe fringing around branches and twigs when shot against a bright sky. Always keep technical failures like this shot because they will help you build up a picture of what your camera cannot do, and when you’re likely to encounter problems.

COMPARE RESULT
Elements 3 has a Photo Compare option that you can access from theOrganizer window. If you’re using either Elements or Photoshop, opentwo or more images at the same time and use the Window --> Arrange -->Tile command to fi t them all on the screen at once. In Photoshop, you can zoom in on one window, then use Window8Arrange8Match Zoom and Location to duplicate that view in the other windows.
Comparing images in print is probably the best method. Make
sure you print each image for comparison at exactly the same size, and make sure too that you turn off any automatic image optimisation adjustments that your printer software might apply by default.

WHY RAW FILES SETTING?

Why shoot RAW fi les? They take up more space
on your memory card, they take longer to write to
the card (too long, with many compact cameras),
and you have to convert them with special software
on your computer. However, they do have a very
important advantage. To understand why, you have
to understand how digital cameras work.
The settings you choose when you shoot fall into
two categories. First, there are photographic settings
which include shutter speed, lens aperture, ISO and
focus. Then there are what we’ll call ‘processing’
settings, which include white balance, sharpness,
saturation and contrast. These adjustments are
made after the photo has been taken by the
camera’s own internal processing system.
With RAW fi les, you’re saving the image data
before this processing stage is carried out.
As a result, you can choose these settings later on
your computer at the conversion stage, and optimise
your image with the benefi t of an on-screen view
and an image histogram to help you perfect the
tonal range and exposure level. The point with
RAW fi les is that you don’t have to worry about
white balance, saturation, contrast
settings at the time of shooting,
be modifi ed later and without
would occur if you were working
JPEG fi les.
Our image quality tests only
straight from the camera. In fact,
more to it than that. First, RAW
fl exibility later on. Second, compressed
look good straight from the camera,
you start adjusting levels, curves
values, any JPEG artefacts are
quickly become obtrusive.
