I get a lot of questions from people asking what the difference between an edited file and a RAW file is, so I thought I would make a post about it. As an Artist I feel that it is absolutely necessary for me to give my clients a fully finished piece of Art for their homes, therefore each and every print that a Client orders from me is fully retouched in Photoshop. Each image is painstakingly adjusted for colour, light, blemishes and contrast, which of course equals lots of time behind a computer.
So, if you have ever wondered why Custom Photography costs more than your bargain basement studio hopefully these images will give you an idea of why.
First up is a photo that looked so so straight out of camera, but with some handcrafting makes a fabulous image to hang on a wall.
While this photo of my daughter is cute, it looks so much better with some time handcrafting it in Photoshop:
