The Difference Between RAW and JPG - A Visual Guide

| RAW Image Edited in Darktable |
One of the improvements I made a while ago was shooting everything in the camera's RAW format. I have noticed that there are some pretty big drawbacks to shooting in RAW. Namely, it takes much more memory, it takes longer to edit, and the camera takes longer to process and save the images to my SD card. With all these drawbacks, I decided to do an experiment to convince myself that shooting in RAW is worth the extra effort.

This will be a quick overview on some of the differences and similarities between the two programs.

Organizing your photos in Linux
If you do any sort of photography or photo editing, you will need a photo manager to handle all your photos.
Linux offers quite a few different photo managers and editors. DigiKam, F-Spot and Shotwell are some of the more popular photo managers in Linux. Though these photo managers all have different positive features, the photo manager I prefer to use is a bit less traditional for Linux. It is Google's Picasa. This tutorial will discuss briefly how I organize my photos and why I use Picasa to do so.

How to remove elements from your photos without using the clone tool
NOTE: Resynthesizer no longer seems to work well in newer versions of Gimp. It has been replaced with the tools Heal Selection and Heal Transparency. I did a tutorial on those tools here.

Tip of the Day - Portrait photography using a zoom/telephoto lens
Usually when you want to take nice portrait pictures, you will use a nice, fast lens, and adjust your aperture to get a blurry background.
The reality is that most people have a simple point and shoot camera that does not allow manual aperture settings, or they don't know how (or why) to change the settings.
Next time you are trying to take a portrait photo, try zooming in all the way and standing back a bit. This will create a blurry background and have a nice effect. When you do this, make sure to have steady hands and good lighting (this probably will not work well indoors unless you are using a tripod).
