Just discovered raw image processing

I just learned how to use lightroom and started to edit my recent vacation pics.. wow!! I guess there's no point having a nice camera if you don't take advantage of all it has to offer, right? Can't wait to start shooting watches in raw!!!

Here's 3 random ones

Colors look like the good old Fuji Velvia days. What adjustments did you make? I avoid raw since I know I will take some crappy pic and then spend six hours playing around with it.

Great photos, there's nothing like shooting in RAW. The only way to do it in my opinion.

Thanks! I really can't believe what I was missing out on

I was able to bump the saturation of individual colours so it's really done to taste, I like when they pop! It really only takes 10 mins per pic.

Great pics. Someday I will take a quality photo. Shooting in the "raw" bwa ha ha!

Indeed brother! with a nice camera and good editing software relearning to shoot is a must!

I haven't shot JPEG for nearly 10 years; this seems appropriate.
