Raw editing is the essential first step in the editing process for any photographer who takes advantage of the raw format. It might require an extra step in the postprocessing workflow, but the benefits of shooting raw are worth it: greater dynamic range, more colours, and multiple options for achieving the look you want. Just as essential are the right tools for the job.
In Affinity Photo, we process our raws within the Develop Persona. Offering a range of familiar tonal tools, lens correction settings, sharpening sliders and local adjustment tools, this dedicated raw workspace is a one-stop shop for making initial enhancements to your images. If you like, you can go on to take advantage of Affinity Photo’s other Personas for further edits, but often a few simple tonal edits are all that’s needed.
