RAW Workflow from Capture to Archives
By Philip Andrews, Yvonne J. Butler and Joe Farace
Raw Workflow from Capture to Archives really is a book for the reference section of any budding photographer. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced user of RAW files, this book caters for the entire gamut of skill levels within its covers. Information is made incredibly simple, due to its plethora of user friendly illustrations. The screen grabs and the professional photos aide to detail the ease in which you can maximize efficiency within your RAW workflow. The colour coordinated chapters make this book a brilliant reference tool.
The authors have not shown any bias towards a particular brand as they explore all available RAW conversion and management software available on the market, in both PC and MAC formats. As well as RAW, the book also explains other computer jargon that the digital photographer may come across. Such concepts as JPEG and TIFF files as well as USB vs. Firewire are explained, which is excellent for broadening the user's knowledge of their digital surroundings. If in doubt, the in depth glossary will explain all. Raw Workflow from Capture to Archives is sure to improve anyone's workflow efficiency and their understanding of RAW management.

RAW Workflow - from Capture to Archives December 17, 2006

Surprisingly, there are few if any books that cover RAW workflow these days; so any book that covers this important subject for the digital photographer is to be welcomed. Not surprisingly though, Focal Press have been the first to fill the niche with this excellent guide written collaboratively between Philip Andrews, Yvonne Butler, and Joe Farace. The book covers all subjects RAW, from capturing images through to archiving them. The initial chapter is aimed at the newcomer to Raw imaging, explaining what RAW is, the various formats, and the advantages and disadvantages of using it. In addition, for the beginner there is a chapter outlining the step by step procedure for capturing your first RAW images. There are two whole chapters devoted to getting the most out of Adobe Camera RAW, one for Elements users and one for CS/CS2 users. These chapters are probably the most informative and helpful I have read on the subject, with clear descriptions and examples of what each of the controls in the software do. Camera manufacturers' own RAW conversion software is also discussed, along with "Third Party" converters like Capture One and Pixmantec Rawshooter. The chapter discussing how to establish your own RAW workflow is also very helpful for beginner and more experienced alike. The "new kids on the block", when it comes to processing RAW files i.e. Lightroom from Adobe and Aperture from Apple are covered in some depth, again very informatively. These two pieces of software are the future of RAW image processing, as they allow you to perform the entire workflow using only the RAW image. The final two chapters give some useful advice on organising your images and suggestions on archiving them. This book is again of the same high standard that Focal Press is renowned for, with full colour throughout, clear screenshots and examples in abundance. For those new to RAW imaging you will find a mine of helpful information here to guide you through an oft-perplexing subject. The book's skill however, is to not only lead the beginner through the subject, but also to teach the more advanced user a few new tricks.
