"Orchestrating Light - The Image Processing Workflow" As Ansel Adams once observed, creating a photograph is similar to a musical performance; what the camera captures is merely the starting point. In this session, we will discuss image processing workflow - the steps and procedures to convert RAW data into a finished image. We will explore light, color and human perception, and how we orchestrate these elements to transform seemingly bland captures into a beautiful performance - the final photograph.
