  • Editing with Local Adjustments: Think Globally, Act Locally

    Sometimes, all you have to do is pick up your camera, frame the beauty before you, press the shutter, and the resulting photo could go straight to print.

That’s exactly when you’ll be glad you shot in RAW. With local adjustments, you can rescue a surprising amount, and in this article, I’d like to show you how.
