Part 2

Answer the following questions. Use screenshots, diagrams, sketches or photos to assist your writing where required.

• Is your basic RAW editing done in LR, or do you use the Adobe RAW Converter for this? If you answered ‘yes’ to the latter, describe the process briefly.
• Describe the basic steps you follow in PS when proceeding with further editing a photograph or a series of photographs (assuming the RAW exposure/colour/contrast etc., is done).
• What tools do you think will be most useful in your photo editing?
• How do you go about saving your final edited photos? Make specific mention of how you ensure the original file remains safe. Do you rename your photos?
