Loading Your Camera Color Profile into RAWstudio

I tried out RAWstudio a couple times through the past year or so. I had to try it, because I knew how much time it could conceivably save me. Both times, though, the image quality of the output JPG was horrible in comparison to UFRaw. So, it would save time, but my photos looked nasty.

Then, I noticed some slick JPG output on the MeetTheGIMP videocast when Rolf (the host) gave RAWstudio a test run. It looked so much better than mine. What was I doing wrong? So, I decided I would give it another try, and I am glad I did.

RawStudio is the New Way to Go

I have only begun to use it, but RawStudio has become my new “go-to” program for photo workflow. “Workflow?,” you may ask. Well, let me explain briefly.

The digital age has made workflow an even bigger problem than before. Now, even my mother comes home from a family reunion with a few hundred photos. What happens to so many photos then? For most of us, we put them on our computer, the hundreds become thousands, and by the time we actually want or need to use some of those photos, we cannot build up the motivation to dig through them. Workflow seeks to solve this problem.

Now, RAWstudio (as you can see by the name) is for folks who shoot in RAW format instead of JPG. It is also available for Linux or Mac OS X. So, if you use a PC, I guess you will have to dish out a chunk of cash to get a program that does the same thing. So, anyway, if all you shoot is JPG, you might just tune out now. No worries…catch you next time.
